[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my dd is in k at gds. today she asked me whether she should marry a man or a woman.  She said her classmate has two dads so she thinks she can also marry a woman.  I am not against same sex marriage, but gds taught prek/k about same sex marriage. Do you think it is too much or am I overreacted?[/quote]

I don't even understanding what you are asking.

The fact that you even think this is a question shows you are outdated in your thinking.  You may want to think more like your child.  [/quote]
Children want and need to understand how the normal world works.

You may want to think past your nose.[/quote]

So, the normal world has famlies with a mommy and daddy; and families with 2 mommies; and famlies with two daddies; and families with just one mom; and famlies with just one dad; and famlies with grandma.

This is normal to kids, until you tell them it's NOT normal.[/quote]

I have not gotten to the end of the thread, but this seemed like a good place to add.

This is the new normal and the normal going forward for the foreseeable future.  To say that you don't agree with normal is fine, but puts your child in the confusing position of seeing legally constructed families that don't comport with your normal.   What is going to happen to your relationship with your child if your child finds that he/she is attracted to someone of the same sex? Do you think your disapproval will stop his/her attraction? Will you unconditionally love him/her or judge him/her for her attraction to the same sex.  Will he/she feel comfortable even telling you?  PP, I respect your views, but wonder if you have thought any of this through.

I don't equate this to the Nazis; I equate it to race relations.  50 years ago, interracial couples started to be more normal.  Now, they are normal, and anyone who doesn't agree with them is a racist by social norms.   Setting your child up to consider same sex couples to be inferior or different is setting your child up to be labeled a bigot when she grows up.

As for OP, telling a child that such family constructs exist doesn't mean she is going to marry a woman, nor does it mean she won't.  [/quote]
