The gay lifestyle is not something to be encouraged, as a lot of research shows it leads to a much lower life expectancy, psychological disorders, and other problems. Studies show that homosexuals, for a variety of reasons, have life expectancies of approximately 20 years less than the general population. Just like a lifestyle of smoking, drinking, etc., unhealthy lifestyles should be discouraged.
My first point was directed at this, so let me say the more eloquently and less vulgar. There are three levels of gathering information about people.
Cultural: Based on Culture of where they come from, mainly based off of religion.
Sociological: This is information on a group level, stereotypes are an example. *race is include in sociological
Individual: Information on a person to person basis.
lifestyle [ˈlaɪfˌstaɪl]
n
1. a set of attitudes, habits, or possessions associated with a particular person or group
First of all I disagree with that definition. "Groups" that could be pushed together as one routine lifestyle may include task groups. Task groups are groups put together for one specific task, for example the army. However that still doesn't fit well. My personal opinion and definition of a lifestyle is: the attitudes, habits, or possessions of a particular person. In today's society I think everyone lives differently and how they want to.
That said, the information gathered from lifestyles would be on a person to person basis, or on an individual level. "Gays" are a group of people, not one person. You cannot rely on sociological information for reflections on an individual level. No one group is completely routine and synchronized in their actions.

I could care less.
But leave the whole parenting alone.
For my second point I was agreeing with this post, albeit a little too emotional. What I meant to say was:
I see where you're coming from, and I definitely agree that we should leave it alone. Being a both a wife to another woman and the proud parent I will most likely take it personally and cause trouble(and it seems I already have.)

I wouldn't want to be raised by a same sex couple, especially in this day and age.....
I see where this is coming from, and I mean no harm (refering to how I worded my previous post > w<.)
I know what you mean. From a highschool(former middleschool) teacher I completely understand the fear and redicule that could happen during schooling. I hope for the best with Aoi, and I will personally take care of things if I need to. I may be tiny but I can kick ass using words. hehe =3.
