I have a 13 year old son. Since the issue of gay marriage is in the news we have had talks about sexuality that have been fairly open. If his experience is fairly normal (and I have no reason to think otherwise) it seems the kids today are generally quite accepting of this sort of thing.

He has a female friend who recently broke up a long distance relationship with her boyfriend and is now looking for a girlfriend. He later said, quite matter-of-factly, that most of the bi-sexuals are in seventh grade. According to him these issues are mostly non-issues.

This in a mostly working class town of about 3,300 people.

I recently read an opinion piece written by a social conservative who basically said that this issue is lost. Things may roll back some for a while but it looks to me like when we geezers start dropping the new generation will head things back the way they are already going. I could be wrong.

In any event, in four days gays will begin applying for marriage licenses and in one week the nuptials will take place. I will keep you posted.
