If you leave religon out of it and talk to him about it i would bet he says people should be able to do what makes them happy.

Bill, I have already had the gay conversation with my son.
I simply told him that people believe differently than we do.
That is not closedminded or scared of something different.
It is simply what I believe.
And I don't tell him that people don't have gay sex. I tell him how I feel
about it.
Period.
I am not telling him to reject others beliefs I am simply establising a
system of beliefs for me and my home.

You teach him to love and respect everyone but you don't tell him people
have gay sex? And i'm sorry if your value of life is different then some
people
who have more open minds but come on you are going to start sounding like a
religous zealot. My favorite pastor in the world who married me was very
open to anyones beliefs and because he lived in the real world he even told
his kids about what it was and that it was those peoples choice.
I get tired of when people play the GOD card as their excuse for being
closeminded and scared of something different. God loves everyone no matter
what, end of story.
Now where what you choose to do when raising your kids will help determine
how they turn out. You either say when 2 people in love and married/civil
union have sex and be honest. Or you say a man/woman and you keep them
living in the dark ages. You can only shelter a kid for so long before they
realize, hay mom is full of crap or she has no clue about real life.
*shrugs* good luck to you, you'll need it.

It has an affect on society, our families, our communities.
If you are not opposed to it, then that would sound like a big crock of
you
know what to you.
But, I have a 7 year old son, who I am raising in a Christian household. I
teach him to love and respect everyone (not matter what color, race, sex
and
sexual preference :) )
However, when he asks me. "Mommy what is sex?" (Yes, they ask at 7) My
answer is "Sex is something that a man and a women does who loves each
other
and who is married. It is pleasurable. And we do not believe in sex
outside
of marriage because we are Christians" Blah Blah Blah. (Those aren't my
exact words...but you get the gist).
Me, along with everyone else who share those views are creating a standard
for our children to live by, thus creating a sense of community for them
to
live by based on our religious beliefs. No group of people should force us
to change that!!!!!!!
Now, when my son comes home and says 'Mommy, I saw two men kissing on tv"
Or
I met a boy at school who has two daddy's, blah blah blah. This threatens
the value of life, the value of the sense of "community" that I have
estabished for me and my family.
And this isn't just regarding gay issues. I think the American society is
over-exposed, over-fed, over-sexed, too open and "moral-less" and
"value-less". And it is getting rather sickening. A modern day Sodom and
Gomorrah.
This is what has a lot of people up in arms.
How far do we go? Do we have no limits?

You are assuming that a person opposing gay marriage is concerned with
their
own rights, and this is most likely not true. If allowing marriage to
encompass all sorts of "fringe" groups in the eyes of a married man and
woman somehow dilutes the institution they are a part of, then i can see
how
they would most CERTAINLY see this as having an affect on them.
Whether they are right or wrong is the crux of the debate, but to say it
has
no affect on currently married men and women is just not true.

And I don't see that allowing 2 people over their to marry affects your
rights at all. Unless you are afraid you will be forced into a gay
marriage.
That (and only that) would affect you.
