You argue that people are imposing their beliefs on others, yet you seemingly have no quams with the school system to have "open dialogue" about a sexual preference practiced by a small % of genpop and that goes against many parents morals and values. Most people would call that hypocritical, but I assume that you and other liberals would call it something else.
Thats a really bad argument (especially for someone as well informed as you), will, and it demonstrates the grasping of straws when it comes to this issue. Tell us then, exactly which religion is doing the persecutin'?

If they "already can get married" why are they not eligible for the same health benefits? ERISA, which regulates health insurance, allows "self-insured" health programs to exclude the coverage of a same sex partner that is guaranteed for hetero spouses. COBRA, which requires the continuation of health benefits, including spouse (even a divorced spouse) and dependent benefits to a person for a defined period after employment is terminated but employers are allowed to deny these coverages to gay couples.
Not discriminated against?
If they "already can get married" why are they not eligible for the same benefits under the Family Medical Leave Act? Inheritance law? Tax law?
Not discriminated against?
The examples are endless.
And finally, Sorry, but I just dont see how an open discussion of sexuality is hypocritical, any more than discussion of Huck Finn or evolution, because it offends some parents. Why are you so afraid to educate and provide factual information to kids?
