I don't think that means what you think it means. |
This is one of many reasons that my kids will never set foot in a public school. |
Because it is the government condoning, and therefore forcing all of us to accept, a deviant, perverted behavior. That is not healthy for any sane society. |
I don't understand. Do you think that the kids are watching "girl-on-girl porn" in public school? |
LOL- those kids will be in for a shock when (if?) they move out of PP's basement. Seriously- how long do people think their little snowflakes can live in a bubble playing with only wood blocks? |
No. But they will go to schools where it is clearly understood and taught that this behavior is wrong. |
Aha. You think that same-sex marriage should be illegal because you think that same-sex relationships are deviant and perverted. Why not just say so? Why all the irrelevant distraction about incest, polygamy, and group sex with squirrels? In any case, luckily for you, the government is not actually forcing you to accept anything besides the fact that a legal marriage is a legal marriage. |
Which will only make it more tantalizing and alluring... Ah, teenagers. |
How many people have you ever met who are gay or lesbian? How many people do you currently know who are gay or lesbian? |
Or worse. Make them a statistic. Children who are raised to believe that being LGBTQ is "wrong" are at very high risk of suicide if they are LGBTQ, especially during those teen years. The risk is highest for transgender people - something like 34% of transgender people attempt suicide. My children (and we have five) were raised to believe that there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with being gay. It's not an illness or a character defect. It is no different that being heterosexual. It just is. Mine are all grown and all five are straight. However, one of my daughters (college senior) is very involved in the LGBTQ movement because she has a close friend who experienced severe bullying in high school and tried to end her life. Our church is offering diversity classes every month to try to improve acceptance and understanding. I feel so passionately about this because I've seen up close how hurtful words and behaviors affect teens who are already struggling. Just as an aside - One of my oldest and dearest friends is very Fundie Southern Baptist. Her three kids were in private Christian Schools from preschool through 12th grade. Her kids were taught to "pray away the gay" and all that other nonsense. Her oldest (now 19) came out about six months ago. To me. I'm thankful he felt safe coming to me. I cannot image the struggle he must have gone though. I'm not asking for the ugly posters to learn tolerance or compassion. There are people who just are not ready for that path. However, if you can't be tolerant, can you at least try to shut the hell up about things you don't understand. Sometimes it's better to remain silent and be assumed ignorant than it is to open your mouth and confirm it. Lives are at risk. You hurt people with your intolerance. Just keep your narrow-minded opinions to yourself so that the rest of us can focus on supporting those who are struggling. |
But it is VERY true |
Ha ha, I went to private school and knew much more about lesbians back in the 90s than the public school kids did. "Lipstick lesbian" does not mean what the poster above think it means. Then I went to a private college where there was the whole "LUG" thing (lesbian until graduation.) I still don't get that, but a larger number of college girls at my school had only lesbian relationships until they graduated--then most went on to marry guys and have kids. One or two were actually lesbian. Part of the fun of college social life was dating different guys for me, but being a LUG seemed to offer protection for some girls from the pressure to date guys until they were ready. |
Just to let you know I was the poster of the comparing polygamy to gay marriage. I did not post the government condoning etc.. post. I am actually not opposed to gay marriages. I just don't understand the hatred agenda for complete equality in everything. They want to get married in churches, sue and destroy people if a company doesn't want to make their wedding cake, force it down everyone's throats. If they were content with a civil marriage and be fine not everyone is going to like them, then fine. Because not everyone is going to be okay with it. It was taboo for so long and for many very religious people, it is considered a sin. My point being if that they want it all forms of government, state and church to consider it normal, if transgender and cross dressing is now becoming normal, why not a push for polygamy, for adult compliant incest, pedophilia etc.... Where is the line in the sand if everyone can claim "I can't help who I am or who I fall in love with?" How can we say it is okay to be gay but not the others? You keep telling me there are reasons for it but there really isn't. |
A lipstick lesbian is a girly girl "lesbian" who most true lesbians feel is doing it for attention, trying it out or to impress guys. No more, no less. |
The line in the sand is simple. Equal protection under the law. Period. |
