This post for some reason reminded me of a particularly offensive Yes On 8 ad that is running right now where a family in Massachusetts complains that because gay marriage is legal now their daughter is being taught in school that a prince can marry another prince and "she's in the second grade!"* -- like it is brainwashing kids to tell them that homosexuality exists at all if they are that young or something. Sometimes I wish that every homophobic bigot was forced to live with a gay family member who is in a committed relationship for some period of time so that they could finally get it that it isn't that big of a thing to tell to 8 year olds.
Anyway, your father-in-law and his partner must have some great stories to tell from their globe trotting (ha!).
*Oh, the odious way that the mother says that phrase. Egad.
