I have a problem with "required". Christianity and its laws are precedent. Christianity does not follow law but law owes its establishment to the morality of Christian Doctrine. Simply based on right and wrong relationships between human beings gives law its power. The word "being" describes the process that humans undergo from birth to death.

When we forget or ignore the "law" we impact society negatively. People and property are destroyed. This is called criminal. A statement such as required is a subtle aggressive way of imposing a social issue (where someone sends their kids to study)  in order to influence and force "acceptance" across a wider agenda ie., confronting the unfair practices of The Church.

God is the Law Giver Of The Church not any judicial system. Children of "gay parents" as well as gay parents should learn and understand the Laws that govern The Church encoded in the Bible. The Law Of God does not discriminate against people only sin.

Sin is the same for everybody whether gay or straight. Certain things are forbidden and as Christians we accept this. And, when we make mistakes The Bible has a remedy for correction or restoration. I am not a Christian because I think the Bible with its "restrictions" need to changed to better reflect my lifestyle.

On the contrary I practice Christianity because it sets parameters for me and my family to live by. No one can force The Church to accept sin no more than I can force the world to accept me as a Christian. 

Let's look at this issue from another angle. Suppose I decide for whatever reason that my child should be exposed to more children of gay parents. Not that there aren't any children from gay households in the school my son now attends, but for the record I need him to associate with more children of gay parents.

So, I start seeking organizations, schools and other venues where I can be around as many gay parents as possible and I introduce myself as a straight dad looking to expand my sons social outlook in a different social environment. I then find a type of school where there didn't appear to be a lot of straight parents.

Right away, even against my son's protestations and distraught over leaving friends I find just the right place. I immediately seek to enroll him. Many of the rules are too pagan but that's ok because once we are accepted there are a few reasonable changes I would like to suggest.

The first thing is to introduce Bible study and maybe a 12 Step type recovery program for children of gay parents. You see where this goes.
