Same-sex marriage will impact all families and children, video shows

Washington D.C., Oct 27, 2008 / 10:11 am

To demonstrate the impact that allowing same-sex marriage has on society, iVoteValues has produced a short video showing how the gay agenda in schools impacts children and families.

 

iVoteValues, a collaborative effort from the Family Research Council and Focus on the Family recently released a video titled, “Gay Agenda in Schools.”  In it, Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, explains how same-sex marriage impacts everyone.

 

“You may be asking yourself, how will same-sex marriage affect my family?  Well, based on the evidence, everything changes when same-sex marriage becomes legal.  If it is legalized, it must be taught as normal, acceptable and moral behavior in every public school.”

 

“Don’t believe me?  It has already happened in Massachusetts,” Perkins states in the video.

 

In 2004, Massachusetts became the first state to permit homosexual marriage in the United States.  This decision has impacted students within the public school system as young as five who are taught that same-sex marriage is acceptable.

 

In the video, Perkins also speaks with two families who discuss their experiences of same-sex marriage being taught in schools.

 

The first family, the Parkers, explain that their kindergarten son was given a book about homosexuality in a “diversity book bag.”  The parents were not given prior notification.

 

The second family, the Wirthlins, tell the story of their seven year old son coming home from school after a teacher read his class the book, “King and King,” in which a prince falls in love with another prince.

 

Mr. Wirthlin notes that “it’s a story that introduces the story of men having a relationship and getting married.” Wirthlin and his wife also explain in the video that homosexuality was presented to their son as something that is “good and right.”

 

The stories of these families show that voting in this election on same-sex marriage “affects every family and every child,” Perkins concludes in the video, “including yours.”
