How Should You Talk to Your Children About Same-Sex Marriage?
Moore to the Point ^ | June 29, 2015 | Russell Moore

Posted on 07/09/2015 4:20:49 PM PDT by Maudeen

With the Supreme Court decision last week legalizing same-sex marriage in the United States, some Christian parents wonder how they ought to explain all of this to their small children. So how does one teach about the law and the controversy, without exposing one’s children to more than they can handle?

Tell them it is an abomination and read the relevant scriptures. Show them that it is destructive first to the person, then to the family and then to society.

You shouldn’t

Monitor their media intake, control it. Home school and hang out with home school parents with kids who don’t bother with the news. Get them to church.

Show any of the plethora of old movies and shows our wonderful American antecedents granted us with seemingly just for this occasion, keep them busy.

Say it can’t be done, and give up or just do it.

One or the other.

As a nurse and a parent I can tell you it has to be done and it can be done.

Kids Cannot know about sex until they are at least near puberty.

That’s it.

Our country, our USSC ou politicians, economists, academies, public schools, retail shops and media ARE NOT one STITCH interested in our kids.

Mothers must do this.

Kids simply can not learn about deviant sex in pre pubescence without harm to their psyches.

So get over it. They must be protected. Parents will have to answer for it.

You explain to them it is abnormal but because of PC you cant discuss it outside of our home and if you have any ? or anyone talks to you about it,in school or elsewhere you come to us immediately.

Tell them it is not a real marriage but a marriage between two people who have chosen to live evil lives and hate God.

Tell them that God is not pleased and does not recognize the marriage.

That;s easy and already told them.

They’re homosexuals who think that their way of sex should be a right and they think they should play happy families.
They’re not born this way, nor is there a gene.
The way homosexuals distinguish themselves is because of their sexual habits of which is unnatural, unhealthy , and certainly they have a mental illness.
The only reason they are not put in the nut house now is because a handful of shrinks told the country is OK now.

That does not cover all of what I have told them but they understand it is wrong , regardless of the teacher, the media telling us otherwise.
Be strong, be yourself and never give in .

Simple. It is perverted, wrong, and sick. Conflict is my wife, who is seriously more Catholic than me, seems to think it is okay and objects to pointing out how wrong it is. Yet she still goes to church, still takes the boys, yet picks and chooses what she supports or agrees with.

Tell them the government has done something very wrong. And don’t forget to tell them that Christians are being persecuted for their beliefs.

It might be legal and mandatory under Man’s law, but it is an abomination to God.

Just explain to them that marriage is a covenant between ma man a woman and God. And that’s what marriage has always been and will always be...

The government will probably take away children whose parents teach them about gay marriage disapprovingly.

yes, confirmed, you do not have the right to teach your Children! The Federals shall control those thoughts at the State level! Do not load yourself onto the cattle car unless you are so bold as to inform your Children of your thoughts! Doubt me at your own risk!

Homeschool your children or send them to a conservative/ traditional Christian school. If you tell them their faith, their public school teachers will severely terrorize them.
