No, because she doesn't agree with their morals. Why should people have to associate with immoral people if they don't want to?
Earlier you said that you and your wife prevented her joining.

How much free choice does your daughter have?

How will you feel in 10 years time when she discloses that she is a lesbian?

I also said that my daughter would not want to join.

I've brought my kids up with my morality, and it seems to have stuck.

My kids have their own morality.

Another case to consider - in Hindu India, members of the dalit ("untouchable" ) class face ongoing prejudice and discrimination despite the fact that they are not physically distinguishable from members of higher castes.

It's possible for members of both th ...[text shortened]... of discrimination compares with discrimination on matters of race, religion and sexuality?
For some reason, Republicans can't vote in the Democratic primaries and vice versa. Rampant discrimination -- on both sides! Disgusting! Outrageous!

That depends on what state you're in.

I'm not talking about university admissions, Duchess. Of course there was competition and it went by party number. I was talking about the bread lines.

Where did they learn their morality? From wolves? People on the street?

Probably from the government.

I believe in raising children, others believe in letting kids raise themselves.

They decide on their own morals based on a large cross-section of experience
and influence, I hope I may be a small part of that but I certainly do not ram
my morality down their throats.

I was pleased yesterday when my 11 year-old cheered at the TV News that
announced the passing of the same-sex marriage law in UK. We hope NZ
follows shortly.

Why do you need to prevent her joining if she doesn't want to?

Curious.

I think you may be confusing "raising" with "indoctrinating".

Sorry, but teaching your kids to be bigots like you won't prevent them from being gay.
