They harass us as breaking up families and being against togetherness and values.
More evidence [how sad that we still have to say more and not "in the past" in 2012]that they are everything they hate is right here.

This doesn’t seem like something an 8 year old would write on their own. If it’s really written by an 8 year old, then his parents told him exactly what to state. Did Queerty confirm where this letter came from?

@SnakeyJ: I’ve been a teacher for over 20 years–this sounds exactly like an 8-year-old’s written thoughts.
The topic may not have been on the mind of a kid who has hetero parents, but I guarantee this topic is well-discussed in his own family. His parents might have prompted him with questions, like, “What would you like to ask them?” but it doesn’t sound as if they coached him on the words at all.

That’s why we need to snatch the term “family values” right out from the claws of the nazi far-right.
They’ve put an Orwellian twist on it so no it means the opposite – ripping families apart as evidenced by this poor kid.
We need to appropriate family values to ourselves.
Family values are gay values
And
Gay values are family values.
Bring these families to the forefront.

Whatever happened to Minnesota? It used to be so progressive, and now it’s elected officials are more ignorant than Mississippi’s.

I don’t understand why the law makers think they know what is best for us.

No child should have to be faced with such issues.When you are a kid one should only have to play,have fun and be loved.Growing up and facing challenges and the unfairness of life is hard enough without being subjected to fear prejudice and hatred. This is shameful!!!
