How would you feel if your parents couldn't marry? How would you feel if you were treated less than others? Wouldn't you think we are all the same? So why then couldn't your parents get married?

Gay people, gay couples and gay parents with children exist in our society and are entitled to dignity and respect. If our schools teach about families with two moms or two dads, that is out of respect for the gay families that exist.
