I think particularly in the homeschool "community" those of us who don't fit
into the Mommy-Daddy-Christian realm are often left out a bit. Sometimes in
not very nice ways. I think that's what she means by "alternative lifestyle."

I actully have more problems with the term "lifestyle." We unschool, I have a
job, I have a house that could use some straightening, etc, etc. I happen to
have a woman partner who supports us financially. Where's the lifestyle? I
have a life.
