There are Chareidi schools in Israel (I imagine in the states as well) if the father of the child does not have a beard, the child is not accepted. In Lakewood if the child has a computer with internet attachment, the child is not accepted. Where is the border? Does the school have the right not to accept a Jewish child that want to learn Torah.
As mentioned in one of the constructive responses before "If you are machmir in one area – you are meikal in another." What right do we have to start meddling in the yirat shamaim of the parents. Parent that treat each other unfairly and use coarse language, do we accept such a child? Maybe we should put cameras in the child's home????!
No Jewish child will be influenced to build a same gender family if he or she is not gay. There is nothing more beautiful in our modern society than the fact that gay individuals can build a nice Jewish home and family. What right do we have to withhold these children from learning Torah. What right do we have to tell them that they are not the child's parents. Do we treat an adopted child in the same form. Let the parents decide how they should be known as! No Gay parent would accept this type of behavior – as they would say in Hebrew "Who are you to tell them that both parents should not be known as parents?"
