The OP started off decently enough, then, predictably, Rdean's hatred of all things Republican kicked in.
Have a nice life
Frank...you are the first one to mention "Republicans".
Did you miss the post about how hard Rdean had to work to find someone who trashed their kid? It's only because he was only looking at high profile Republicans as his base.
Seriously, you're a fucking idiot!But what kind of parents don't let their kids make their own decisions? Wanting to control everything about your child, is being a bad parent. My dad is a die hard liberal, and he has never disowned or judged my brother for being a republican. The two just debate a lot, and respect each other completely.
Bad parents. It's the duty of parents to "guide" their children. Rules are necessary, but they change as the child grows into an adult. I believe conservatives have a difficult time as parents because the core of conservative is "static" "unchanging". Children are supposed to grow and learn. Young children can't make every decision, but they have to be allowed some freedom or when they are finally one their own, they become "victims".
I say the Mississippian is in the wrong
All gays are insane--he should have sought psychological help for his daughter the minute she came out to him!!
But he ignore the warnings, now she will stumble through life confused and not truly understanding why people treat her like dirt!!
By the way, the school was wrong for cancelling the prom. What will happen when the gays in the following class declare taking their same sex mate to the prom for now on out?? All they going to cancel the prom indefinitely? What morons, backing themselves into a corner like that. Better, call the loony farm on the girl since her father will not!!
I've known and fully acknowledged that I was gay since I was 17 and I haven't engaged in gay sex.

1. I applaud parents who accept their children for who and what they are, but which also provide constructive guidance, guidelines, and enforce rules short of those which constitute child abuse.
2. Enforcing rules that the child doesn't like is very rarely child abuse.
3. Not setting and enforcing any rules at all IS almost always a form of child abuse.
4. Booting out a person who has achieved majority for whatever reason is the right of the parent whether or not we approve of the reason, and the reason is really none of our business. I think most responsible parents would approve of inviting a young adult to leave if said young adult was not interested in keeping the rules of the house. And I think most would approve of the young adult leaving of his/her own volition if said rules were deemed unreasonable.
5. The anecdotal illustrations used in the OP were too different to offer much of a comparison. I think the father of the minor sent back to school probably made a good choice, but without knowing all the circumstances, that is difficult to judge. So far as we know, the father may have been a staunch Republican and conservative, so political ideology is irrelevent in that case. I don't know enough about the Alan Keyes situation to comment though I would not invite a child to leave JUST because he or she was gay or lesbian.

All of us know the Story of Alan Keyes....got any Liberals/Democrats we can use instead?
Bullshit partisan hackery. Cons have no more problems than dems do. God, why did this turn into a R vs D thing when it has nothing to do with it. In the 2nd case it is a religious intolerance issue which is NOT owned by the Rs, just more prevalent because Rs are more literal in their religion.rdean

Gay is a choice.
It isn't "accepted" as a choice because there is absolutely no evidence that it is hardwired, and in fact, lots of evidence that it isn't.

How come 40% of identical twins are gay if their other twin is...when the average elsewhere is 2-10%?
