You don't need to rely on the opinions of people who have gone through the process to rebut his position, though. There is objective evidence. There are inescapable logical conclusions about the outcomes of the UCP policy. It's over, Anakin - we have the high ground. So why are you pitting the subjective, inherently emotional opinions of one group of people (gay kids and people who have been through the process of coming out) over the subjective, inherently emotional opinions of another group ("I want to know what my kid is doing at school" parents)?
I just hate the way the left side of the argument continuously shoots itself in the foot on this stuff, and it's part and parcel with the disagreements I have with you guys on other subjects.
