Yes, but what does 4 kids hiking to see a dead body have to do with it?
I assume you meant "Lean on Me"?

I don't understand why would someone declare themself a "rainbow family" why not just say "family"??? Is there something special about a "rainbow family" over a regular family?

To answer your question.....We specify that bc of the prejudice that still exists on homosexual couples i.e "families", in this day and age. There is not special about the term just the ignorant questions that follow.

It all depends on where you move I suppose if you get ignorant questions. Here in Las Vegas people are more open. I cannot say the same for the bible belt for instance.
I have a sister in California that worries where she can live because she is white and her kids are mixed race.

Whoops! I actually meant "Stand and Deliver", but I guess the moment has passed.

You will have no problem here with your situation, extremely open. The thing I really hate about Vegas is that alot of people here have no morales. It's not the gay thing so much, but some of the things people say and do here. It's pretty sad when I take my kids out and have to see a woman wearing a shirt that says "lick my p----"! I never saw half the stuff in my small California town that I see here. I cant wait to get my family out of here someday! I am also offended by the amount of rude bumper stickers that I see here also.

Won't find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow in Vegas.
Stand By Me is a great movie.

Comeon that is bad taste redneck. Much more common in TX or AZ.
The Vegas thing is Bimbos. Even the Admiral sees one so striking or off the wall she points her out.
Bimbo watching is great fun whatever your sexual proclivity may be...

Well that's one t-shirt i haven't seen yet. Anyone that would wear one in public is just an idiot or illiterate.
The only bumper stickers I see too much of out here is the "honor student" ones.
They always say "My son/daughter was an honor student at such and such school." They never finish and say what they are doing now. Did they end up being serial killers?
