WHEN SOCIETY ASKS CHILDREN WHAT WE SHOULD DO: Elizabeth Marquardt

Still reading "Families Like Mine: Children of Gay Parents Tell It Like It Is," by Abigail Garner. At the beginning of Chap 1 she quotes a 30 year old man, Jesse Gilbert, who was raised by lesbian moms. He says:

"It's very hard to grow up under a microscope. As kids, we were expected to talk about very adult issues -- sex, civil rights, legal and political issues. What other situations are there where people talk to kids and then legislate from there?"

That strikes me as an excellent question -- What other situations are there where people talk to kids and then legislate from there? Thoughts, anyone?
