If you are Christian, do you think Jesus would have avoided, insulted, or denigrated these kids or their parents?
My 2nd grader has kids like this in his class and in his circle of friends. It's one thing to say you wish there were no gay people or "Heather has Two Mommies." But what if your child and Heather are good friends? I treat people the way I wish to be treated.
My children go to a private Christian school, and they will not have friends that have gay parents.
I teach my children to show respect for all people, but they do not have to accept it or tolerate it being shoved down their throats.
Every parent has the right to raise their children how they choose, send them to whatever school they choose, and allow them to be friends with whomever they choose.
It's our choice that our children do not associate with queers or queer families. I respect your choice/your opinions, it's your decision.
If the gays did that 90% of the static most normal people have with them would not be evident. The problem normal people have with the gays is not that they are gay but that they are telling us they are gay.
Letting gays and lesbians adopt children simply makes more gays and lesbians. They are brainwashed from infancy, as this little girls remarks make clear. She thinks she is a lesbian, it is obvious from her remarks. The odds are she is not lesbian, but is being made to think it is ok to be by her two "moms". This is an unhealthy life style for these children and this kind of thing should stop. If gays and lesbians were not allowed to adopt children then I wouldn't have to explain it to MY children would I?
I know you probably think I hate gays and lesbians. I do not, but neither do I think it is a lifestyle to be imitated or even condoned. I have queer friends, grew up with a few. I treat them fine but do not subscribe to their life style or think it should be passed on to children.
I'm not really sure WHAT Jesus would have done. On the one hand the children shouldn't suffer for the sins of the parents. But on the other He said it would have been better for one to never have been born than to put a stumbling block in front of one of these (children).
This brainwashing is going to lead to unhappy lives for these kids and I am wholeheartedly against allowing homosexuals to adopt for this reason. Or raise children at all for that matter, theirs or someone elses.
There is a huge difference between being "anti-gay" and objecting to having our younger children given advocacy lessons in regards to that lifestyle or any other sexual adult relationship for that matter.
In the old TV show, "Family Affair", Mr. French could have been Uncle Bill's bi-sexual lover on the side for all we know. Our kids don't need to know that part. (Frankly, neither do we.) Unless an adult brings up the subject, kid's don't even think about such things.
My kids had a classmate in their elementary school class that had, as the euphemism now goes, "two Mommies".
My kids went to "Mary's" birthday parties and other social occasions at her house. We, the parents, socialized with her "two Mommies". However, the subject of lesbian relationships was not discussed with any of our children and none of them ever bothered to ask.
If we do not discuss the heterosexual sex lives of Tommy's parents with our younger kids, why should we discuss the homosexual sex lives of Mary's "two Mommies" with them?
In this particular case, it turns out that "Mary" never actually had "two Mommies". The biological mother, the highly paid professional, eventually became dissatisfied with the stay-at-home non-biological Mommy and dumped her.
Biological Mommy did not have to pay alimony and her biological motherhood status made joint custody a legal non-issue. Biological Mommy simply took 100% of her property and her biological child out of the house she and Non-Biological Mommy had rented together and simply walked out.
"See ya!"
In the end, when push came to shove, "Mary" only had one Mommy. She never really had two.
I don't want my tax dollars to pay for pro-gay family propaganda. If these are truly "little kids," I doubt they'd even know their parents were gay or what that meant. Only kids at the age of puberty would be aware of such things.
I'm not "anti-gay," BTW. My daughter thinks she's gay but I pray for her recovery. In the meantime I love her even if I think this "lifestyle" is destructive.
Jesus would not have done these things, but he would have told them to repent of their sins and follow him. He would have told them that their parents were leading them into a life of sin and they need to change the way they live.
If Jesus was walking the earth today, they would have arrested him and charged him with hate crimes.
If you are a Christian, I hope you are teaching your child love the person not the sin and I hope your child is teaching her friend about Jesus
My policy is hate the sin, not the person, bring them to Christ
Now back to the subject, what they want your child to know is that it's ok to have 2 moms or dads and that this lifestyle is good.
As a Christian I cannot accept this lifestyle as good for my children and teach them that. I became a Christian at age 30, but even before I became a Christian, the thought of this life style was repugnant to me and it wasn't natural and is even more so now.
I cannot say for certain what the Son of Man might have said....
But I can tell you He wouldn't lie to the parents and tell them they are doing a good job of raising their "children". Just like He wouldn't lie to the alcoholic parents..and tell them they are doing a good job.
Fwiw-
In the Gospel of John, Jesus told the woman caught in adultery to go and sin no more. While I am sure that Jesus would be full of compassion for these people, I am also sure that he would tell these lesbian women to sin no more. They are engaged in acts that the Bible call abominations. They are living together without the benefit of marriage and they are raising illegitimate children. If we are to extend that principle of sin no more to these folks, Jesus would tell them to stop living together and renounce their lesbian lifestyle. One mommy would need to raise the children alone or revert to a normal sexual orientation and find a husband to help raise these children.
I can see you've just about swallowed the left line about Christians. Just a little further and you'll be hooked.
My 2nd grader has kids like this in his class and in his circle of friends. It's one thing to say you wish there were no gay people or "Heather has Two Mommies." But what if your child and Heather are good friends? I treat people the way I wish to be treated. Interesting comments. However, I don't think it belongs on a children's show. Now yes, I am well aware of the PC conservatives who look for something to be offended by (i.e. gay) in almost everything, but this blatant example did not belong there. I would agree that we should treat people as we wish to be treated, and those who have sat by gay murders and chanted, "Burn....in hell" don't really strike me as the best people either. I just don't think that gay issues belong in a classroom or are appropriate for a school-age child. And yes, I would know, I am a public school teacher.
We must not promote violence against gays and should treat them as people. But I don't believe they should be treated as a "special" group or bring their issues to the forefront of society.
