Subject: Daycare celebrating PRIDE. Appropriate?
It's entirely ridiculous, given kids like to wear rainbows and multicolored clothing every day of the year.
But I don't object. I just find it silly.

When my now middle school twins were 2, there were two families with gay parents, one with two moms and one with two dads.
We told our kids that most families that one mom and one dad, but that it was okay to have two moms and two dads. If our daycare had been celebrating pride we would have told them that this was to help everyone understand that it doesn't matter if a family has one mom, one dad, two moms, two dads or one of each. Pride was our way of saying we like everyone's family however it is made up.
Nothing to do with sexuality, only about acceptance.
For me, the purpose of celebrating Pride when they are young is similar to developing color blind attitudes. The way to change bigotry is to make acceptance the norm and to bring them up without these biases that one way is right or better than another way. So, the way to make LGBTQ+ more accepted is to make it normal to be accepting of differences when they are young. Then when they grow up, they will be less likely to see those people as "other" or "not normal".

So kids in the daycare are all from hetero couples? My kids had friends from same sex families which made explaining all of this (i.e., it's a day where we celebrate that families can look differently, including having 2 dads or 2 moms) much easier.

If you think kids 2-5 years old should be exposed to LGBTQ and gay weddings you're out of your mind. You admit your kid thinks he can marry a dinosaur... my sister when she was really young thought she was a cat lol.. these kisd have no idea about anything they have to be old it, you're misleading the sheep and will be judged one day... just you wait.

Why is it inappropriate? Do you think it's ok for your kid to bully the kids who have 2 moms or 2 dads? What about parents from 2 different races?
Do you think your 4 year old is going to start having sex now or something? What exactly are you bothered about OP?

I have some good news. Now that adults are pushing this on kids, the kids will begin to reject it as it will now be coming from authority.
Therefore, this will all die down in about 15 years as these kids grow up and reject being told they need to celebrate Pride.

The word "PRIDE" doesn't just mean "being prideful", it represents "celebrating LGBTQ" sexual proclivaties... basically we're now getting made to CELEBRATE what certain people in our society are sexually attracted to, and for some deranged reason these groomers on the far Left now thing that we NEED to be introducing this early to kids 2-5 years old. This is insane, and yes, it's grooming and everyone should boycott it, tell the people and your daycare kids that young have no right learning or caring about that till they're older, and threaten to take your kid out if they refuse to not push that subject on your kid. Everyone needs to start getting upset and pushing back against this grooming.

We talk to our kiddo about stuff like this frequently and he isn't shocked.
If you talk to 2-4 year olds about sexual proclivaties, you're deranged and need to seek help dude.

If my kid has to make a fathers day card for his "grandfather" and "dad" because the daycare can't remember that he has two mom's - thus raising all kinds of horse manure for him and us to have to deal with - then YES your kid has to celebrate pride and have the liberal gay "agenda" pushed on him too.
And, if you don't like celebrating Pride EVERYWHERE in DC, you should move somewhere where they have regressive human rights laws. Because DC is about as queer friendly - legally, politically, and socially - as you can get outaide of NYC or San Fran.
For daycares to be licensed in DC, they have to abide by regs set forth from OSSE. and those regs are explicit in their welcoming of diversity, not just tolerance. Language services have to be provided for non English speakers. Gluten free options have to be offered for dietary needs. Complaints can and do get filed with the office of human rights when this stuff is violated and since PRIDE is about FAMILY you damn well better believe that our uppity queer asses are going to complain when we have to suck down the heterosexist crap day in and day out but for one day or week a year, you lazy, privileged, entitled bigots freak out about kids being invited to celebrate their diverse family.
Seriously. You don't get to Phobesplain that you're ok with the gays but aaahhhh keep it out of preschool. My kid got to preschool because he has two dykes for parents. And he isn't going anywhere. So Bye Felicia. Move along. Go back to Indiana. We don't want you here. Houses prices are high enough without your got air inflating them further.
You mad brah?

WOW, you are definitely out of touch with reality.
Regressive human rights laws?? Hetersexist crap?? OSSE regs?? You sound CRAZY!!!
You are a man hating bigot! Do you think that anyone on the fence really wants to celebrate Pride after reading your nasty diatribe?
I know we are such terrible people. I mean, how horrible that many people actually feel that a boy should have a father in his life to teach him how to be a man. But girly men are all over DC, so shouldn't be a prob. And DC embraces gluten free food, now that's a gamem changer!! Lol
