NOT going to get into a theological discussion on this thread. Just going to repeat that I have a gay stepson and a bisexual son, and I love them both just as much as I love my other children/stepchildren. I love them because of who they are, which isn't changed by who they love.Aunt said:
What if your Child said "Im Gay"...

Its only outside the norm to those who are not open to the reality that the world is a constant changing place. Religion, state, politics are not a constant thing, they are always changing, so why cant people accept evertying is changingLissa said:
It seems to me that child protection laws and regulations have done nothing but get more stringent over time... I just don's see it.
Should we have shunned Einstein ? How about Bach ? Why should he be allowed to write and conduct music when he was deaf.PennQuaker09 said:
You see Penn, your strengthening my point. You are shunning someone because they arent possibly as educated as you are. Have you ever been shunned because you were "different" ? ... I would think you, off all people would understand this.
So what if, with your child it wasnt a matter of being gay, it was a learning disability that prevented them from spelling effectively .. be dyslexia or whichever... would you shun your child, as you have the other poster ? Its the same mentality
OMG about the 2nd cousins! That is CRAZY!
If you marry your 2nd cousin, then your mother in law would be your aunt!
The first woman's parent and the man's grandparent (for example) would be SIBLINGS. That is beyond insane.
Even third cousins... think about it... your GRANDPARENTS WERE SIBLINGS.
I think that's more a case of not enough people in the town if you ask me

Not exactly how it works, Mindy. My grandmother's father and my grandfather's mother were cousins....so my grandparents grandfathers were brothers. That's second cousins...for third cousins, your great-grandparents would be siblings.Mindy said:OMG about the 2nd cousins! That is CRAZY!

I'm going to ignore the crazy and insane remarks, other than to say they are NOT appreciated.
LOL so move?Mindy said:I think that's more a case of not enough people in the town if you ask me

You missed a step here.
If your grandparents grandfathers were brothers, then that is third cousins., not second.

Nope...grandparents are siblings...parents are cousins.....their children, my grandparents are second cousins. Children of first cousins, according to genealogists, are second cousins to each other.Mindy said:
Anyhow...that's on my mother's side. On my father's side, I've discovered that my second husband and I are distant cousins.....my great-great grandmother and his great-great grandfather were half-siblings.

Wow that seemed really unclear, it's hard to show without a tree type thing... let me try again.
Bill and Stella are brother and sister
Bill and Stella each get married and have kids
Bill and Stella's kids (Wade and Heather) are 1st cousins
Wade and Heather's child are 2nd cousins
Wade's child and Heather's child are 3rd cousins.
The bold is the step you missed...
