I'm not changing my avatar because there's nothing indecent about it. In fact, there have been far more indecent images on people's signatures and avatars in the past. However, they were only of heterosexuals and nobody seemed to object. Coincidence?

My children have seen gay couples kissing on the TV before. It's really no different from seeing straight couples kissing. I'm very responsible with regards to what my children are allowed to watch on TV, and they are certainly not exposed to anything indecent or sexually explicit. However, in my opinion, a kiss is neither of those.

I would be more concerned with children talking rather openly to strangers on an internet forum than them seeing an image like the one I have on the avatar. My children are not allowed online unsupervised. There seem to be rather a lot of children who are. I would think that would be a far more important issue to address.
