Navy Pride is curious yellow, "Would you allow your son to go to camp where there were openly gay members?"
Your wording is problematic and I doubt you will find wording which is not contentious to at least some. Your hot button word is "openly" which is suggestive.
Over in Pelosi led San Francisco, "openly" gay makes for good pornography movies, right out there in the streets. Should you attend a Pelosi "leather parade", well, wear dark shades, wear a raincoat and don't take your kids!
At a camp, a retreat, a shoreline picnic, this "openly" notion is not so volatile. Couple of boys holding hands, couple of girls kissing, this is not a problem and is not the business of others. My view is what others do, while appropriate public behavior, is simply the business of none. Your circumstances could easily be reversed.
During a gay parade in Los Angeles, where gays and lesbians keep their clothes on and respect others, you and your family would be the oddballs. I might ask those of the gay and lesbian community, "Would you take your children to an event where there are openly straight people?" I have a hunch you and your family would be welcomed, especially your children who would delight in this L.A. colorful parade which is televised, and never any law enforcement problems.
A more challenging reversal for you, Navy Pride, is naked truth. Three of us in our small family are nudists. We love attending nudist resorts, beaches and planned activities, lots of friendship and fun! Challenge for you is this nudist lifestyle is popular with all ages of people, from grandma to granddaughter. This is adults and children, all naked and enjoying fun. There are some mixed in who wear clothes or partial clothing. None really care. Would you take your kids to a camp where families are openly nude?
Reminds me of our girl. She makes a friend at a resort, a young girl like herself. Her new friend is shy and wearing clothes, well, a swimsuit. Our girl is nude. Our daughter takes her friend's hand, pulls her friend into a locker room. Not long, out those two come, both nude, and they jump right into a swimming pool with lots of other nude people. Had to drag both out of this pool after a couple of hours; they looked like wrinkled up prunes hollering, "Marco", "Polo" followed by grins and giggles.
Our girl made a new friend for life, her new friend never wore clothes again at this resort and enjoyed loads of fun!
Navy Pride, is being straight or gay, being clothed or nude, is this a measure of a person's worth? Of course not. What you are working at is imposing Christian moral values upon others which is wrong headed. Last time Christians got all crazy about their moral values, they slaughtered twenty-five-million of my peoples, men, women and children alike.
Moral values are personal, not public. Your moral values are not my business, nor are moral values of others your business.
