[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hard to believe there are still Neanderthals who think they can keep their kids from turning gay just by never telling them gay exists.

And what is with not wanting kids exposed to something that might "confuse" them? Do you feel the same way about verb tenses or algebra? Why exactly do you send your kids to school at all?[/quote]

It's quite different.  When your your child hasn't even been exposed to conventional thoughts on sex, isn't close to puberty and their school is "celebrating" gay coming out - and giving awards to those kids who "come out" - they do get confused.  They want the award too!  And some of those who "come out" and then wish they were back in or were never gay to begin with still get the taunts from the other kids.  Really, the p.c. pendulum has swung out to the left too far on this one.  I'm the first to support my gay friends, but let's let kids be kids for awhile longer and not let our p.c. beliefs mess up their childhoods.  This issue needs to be dealt with in the home and by modeling by the parents.  There is far too much academic subject matter that needs to be covered in order to get into a good college nowadays - why do we have to devote a week to this issue every year?  It's already accepted everywhere else in the culture and you can't miss it on television.  Why must schools think this is worth devoting a week to?  If so, why not normative sex week?  [/quote]
