No. But I know enough not to believe a biased report about it.
I think there is nothing wrong with teaching children that because someone is different it does not mean they are morally corrupt.
I will stand up for anyone persecuted for their beliefs unless those beliefs diminish someone simply because they are different.

If people are gay, then let them be so but don't indoctrinate young children into making them think it is right and normal.
no one is talking about someone but about something.

Have you?

So, once again, because you personally believe it is morally ok to be homosexual , then the state has a right to teach that to ALL children, whether their parents believe in it or not.
I don't think the state has the right to do that. BTW, I don't happen to believe the Bible is anything more than a bunch of fables but I don't believe that all of the morals of the bible are baseless. The golden rule in particular.
Because you personally don't believe that the bible could be true, do you then agree that the state has the right to start teaching that the bible is totally false , and all morals based on the bible are pure fabrication ?
I will stand up for anyone persecuted for their beliefs unless those beliefs diminish someone simply because they are different.
Will you stand up for those who get bullied into leaving their morals at the door of the school ?

WW, what does this have to do with homosexuality being taught in schools as being equally acceptable in schools? Pedophiles come in all types and a lot are not homosexual that prey on children. All pedophiles should be punished regardless of sexual orientation only because they prey on children. Their sexual orientation should play no role in that punishment whatsoever - only the crime they committed against the children they preyed upon.
It has everything to do with it rubicant.
They will argue the very same "scientific logic", and are already, that they did not ask to be born with that sexual preference, and they have a right to not be persecuted for it.
There are pedophiles in jail fighting for the rights of children to have sex , and that if they are "hard wired " to be of that sexual orientation, and children want to be willing participants in a sexual act, that no one has the "moral" high ground to say it isn't right.
After all.. Who is to judge how they were scientifically created, and who is to judge what children should and shouldn't do willingly, according to them.
Its total crap.. but I guarantee you rube..as weird as 50 years ago people thinking that homosexuals would have the right someday to marry, this issue is what is coming up next..on the agendas of tptb.
It is based on the very same "scientific logic"....and the freedom to follow your "natural" sexual urges.
They will use the simple argument that you used in one of your posts..
Separating people based on sexual differences is as wrong as doing so for any other reasons.

Not homophobic, go be gay if you want, but I consider it to be a mental disorder.
No. You are talking about behaviour. Behaviour which is unacceptable. It is also unacceptable for Billy to hit someone with a brick.
By that statement you are endorsing little Billy's parents that think it is totally fine to urinate on someone for sexual excitement
Not if Billy ties up little girls...or little boys.
I guess you're ok with your daughter going to little Billy's birthday party after all.

It doesn't need to include teaching them that their sexual behaviours are not OK either.
In fact why does it need to involve sexuality at all??
Given that homosexuality does not actually affect anyone who is not homosexual, what actual business is it of anyone else's in the first place?edit on 21-10-2012 by Aloysius the Gaul because: (no reason given)
I don't believe my argument is any less valid, WW. Not all people that are homosexual turn into pedophiliac monsters. That line of thinking is absolutely ridiculous and absurd. You pay for the crime of such an act. Not being what you are if you are homosexual. *facepalm*
How about the other kids at school? The ones that harass the queers...or the pigs...or the nerds...or the uglies. Because those kids are there and those kids will be teaching yours.
So do I & I dont want strangers teaching my children about homosexuality either.
star for you sir.

Brainwashing kids that homosexuality is equal to heterosexuality is wrong.
Letting gay people do their own thing and being tolerant of their alternative lifestyle is one thing. Letting gay pressure groups brainwash our kids at school is another thing all together.

Wow, how obtuse can you be? even in the context of the OP article, [which we should all by now know is largely irrelevant to the real world] it is clear that this initiative is about a decent quality of life for thinking, breathing people.... 17 pages of arguing about the semantics of the word "normal"? really? and all our old friends! The Gay Agenda, pedophilia, bestiality, #goingstraighttohell....... the next time i see one of these threads i'm going to find a bottle of alcohol and play the gaygenda drinking game... i haven't figured out the rules yet but i have a feeling i'll be unconscious by the fifth page. yet something makes me think my faculties will still be sharper than a scarily large proportion of our membership.

How about 'tolerating' the fact that most parents do not want their kids brainwashed at school that homosexuality is equal to heterosexuality?
You really think you can separate the two? You think that children don't notice differences? What about the children who are gay? What do you tell them?
Teach basic human biology, not sexual preference (or anything related to that). Teach them about VD, and how unreliable birth control can be.
That is what is being taught.
Teach that ANY bullying is wrong
