I read the article, and then, unfortunately, started reading the comments. I don't understand what it so wrong with telling kids "some of your classmates might have two moms or two dads or one of each." How is that "pushing a moral agenda"? It's not like you have to break down "and this is how their parents have sex!" Although I know it's not about acceptance and understanding as much as it is about hating the "other."
