[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We didn't send a child to the P school in Virginia because their GL club had a yearbook page in the lower school.

21 year old gay people....are Gay, and that's fine. But in 2nd grade, its not a choice that should be glorified as an easy path. Its a hard path, and if it is who they are, celebrate it, but its so hard a path, encouraging it in children is just wrong.[/quote]

I'm sorry, I don't understand this perspective. Do you think that by acknowledging the existence of gay people and supporting students who are gay, straight kids are going to decide, "that looks awesome! I think I'll go he gay now!"? You can't turn gay, just as you can't turn straight. The only thing these organizations do is offer support (not "glorifying") for kids who, yes, have it tough. [/quote]

I don't believe this. I actually think kids can be influenced and pressured to be gay just like they can be pressured to act straight. This would be more of a concern when the gay talk comes up when kids are so little and have no clue. I am sticking with these are not conversations for K and early elementary years. If and when I am asked why Johnny has two dads I will be honest..they choose to live together and take care of kids. Johnny does have a mom but clearly she isn't in the picture.[/quote]

You wonder why this needs to be discussed in school? Because of parents like you, with antiquated views. I look forward to the day when race and orientation don't need to be discussed. That time has not yet arrived.[/quote]
