I couldn't agree more with Harmless Rabbit. If they want the kids to learn something from an event like this, they need to come together and have a dialogue about it, from all kinds of different perspectives. How can they have a "religion and homosexuality" panel without having a voice of dissent too. The kids won't learn anything from a we-love-gays-everyone-is-happy event. The kids that disagree will tune it out and learn nothing, it will just persist a feeling of cynicism in their heads, and kids don't need more reasons to be cynical.
