Calling the SF Comical unbiased is an absolute joke! The thing I love about the Homosexual agenda is it is so Tolerant of opposing views ;)

If you disagree with their position on Marriage, you are labelled a troll and a homophobe. Why don’t we redefine all the words in the English language to fit your agenda?

What a joke. Imagine if the field trip was to a Christian church to listen to a sermon. I think the military would have been called in to stop that from happening. Now you know why the country is heading the way it is now. What a shame. Since when has homosexuality been more importatant that heterosexuality? Wake up America

I only have an issue with it because of the skewing + distortion that will be done by the proponents of Prop 8.

Otherwise, their parents gave them permission + it’s noone’s business what they allowed their kids to watch as long as the environment wasn’t dangerous or harmful to the kids.

What disturbing and disgusting comments. Internalized homophobia and trolls take the day.

I have never known any kids to take time off to go to a teachers wedding durring school hours. It is moves like this one that appear to have a agenda about it. These kids are to young to be used as puppets. Read below.

“She’s a really nice teacher. She’s the best,” said 6-year-old Chava Novogrodsky-Godt, wearing a “No on 8″ button on her shirt. “I want her to have a good wedding.”

The story neglected to mention (as the original SFGate story did) that the field trip was organized by the parents of the children with the schools permission, and without the knowledge of the teacher, and that parents who did not want their children to participate were allowed to opt out and receive regular instruction in another first grade classroom.

Still, I’m frustrated at these well-intentioned parents and the unnecessary drama they will cause us all.

Of course Yahoo! favors the right-wing. Follow the money trail…

80% of their political donations goes to Republican candidates. That’s quite a feat for a company that’s based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

A wedding isnt a valid field trip for elementary school kids, be it gay or straight.

But looking at the original piece, its not a “news story.” Its clearly marked as a paid statement by SupportMarriage.org, under the banner of PR Newswire. But it looks like you click through to it from Yahoo!’s main news page, so I can see the confusion. All in all, I think the problem is with Yahoo! placing paid releases under their news umbrella.

Message to all involved: This isnâ€™t helping, itâ€™s pouring gasoline on the fires of right-wing hatred. At 5 years old I was as interested in learning about marriage as I was learning about an AARP membership.

Why is a school sponsoring a day off for a wedding? Gay or straight. That’s where they can raise the boogeyman of “teaching kids to be gay or whatever.

The parent’s or teacher should have arranged the trip privately and with the parent’s permission, the haters couldn’t have said shite.

Congrats to the couple.
