A parent's mistake isn't always permanent, people can and will grow up and realise that some things their parents taught them were wrong, I did about a lot of things I was raised to believe in. Not everyone does but giving people the choice is a better and more peaceful way of doing things then outright banning it and creating more ill feeling then there was before.

This.
