You hope you haven't offended anyone??? Of course you've offended gay people. Gay people aren't contagious to your children. Being gay isn't a lifestyle; lifestyles are choices like living a sedentary lifestyle or living a flashy lifestyle. That’s like saying, "I don't have a problem with blacks/latinos/asians/jews, I just don't agree with the blacks/latinos/asians/jews lifestyle." Or, “I don't have a problem with women, I just don't agree with the female lifestyle."
Sure, some gay people live a lifestyle of partying in the clubs, promiscuous sex or doing drugs just as some heterosexual people, but certainly not ALL gay people live that kind of a lifestyle.
Being gay isn't a way of life, it's just the way we are. I like to compare it to the hand you write with. I.e. Most people are right handed, some are left handed and a few can use both. You can't switch the hand you write with, just like you can't switch your sexuality. You can try, but it just won't work! And, I’m not sure how some heterosexual people know so much about being gay when they’re not??
When you say “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” is how you feel, how would like to be told you can’t talk about the person you love and you should hide your affection and relationship and be a shamed about who you are as a person so you don’t “offend” people or make others uncomfortable?
Asheville is a GREAT city full of beauty and many people who are educated, artsy and love the outdoors.
