Okay.
But I have the right not to have them shoved at me at every turn of life.
I have the right to teach my child as I see fit and I will teach my child that homosexuality is perverted, wrong, and degrading to the participants and those that must be exposed to it.
I will teach my child to vehemently reject the teachings from anyone, to include an employee of the indoctrination centers that I refuse to send my child into.
(I believe you enablers call them "schools".)
Just like the First Amendment, which most people woefully misunderstand, that, while you assume you have the right to speak as you wish (and I will defend that right, although I do well understand the restrictions plced on that "right"), you, nor any of the homosexual enablers or the homosexuals themselves, have the right to be heard.
Their children have the right to be accepted as "normal" by other children. And not be expected to be ashamed or embarassed.
That is very true.
However, most of society does not accept the perverted, degenerate lifestyle of the homosexual and probably never will. Therefore, I refuse to allow it to be presented in a positive light to my child, simply because a child that has unwittingly been placed in that position might be "embarrassed" if it is not.
Simply keep the issue off the table.
Do we present the fact that some parents sleep in separate bedrooms, some parents fight like cats and dogs, some parents are perpetual drunkards, some parents just ain't parents, so that we may spare the feelings of the children involved?
Homosexuality of parents (a loose term, as I personnally feel that parents are of biological origins) is simply not an issue that needs to be highlighted in the organized educational environment.
But the enablers will not be convinced of that, because they do not want to be convinced of it, therefore, my child will be schooled at home and will be taught that the homosexual lifestyle is perverted, degenerate and repulsive.
Sue me.
You have said only one thing with which I disagree:
simply because a child that has unwittingly been placed in that position might be "embarrassed" if it is not
I clearly stated that I agree with the neutral presentation of the different types of families. Two mommies or two daddies is not a lesson in sex education. Nor need it be a value judgement positive or negative. I saw nothing in the article that says it was.
a child faced with a situation in which such an arrangement was condemend would feel more than a bit "embarassed". Embarassment implies shame on the part of the child as if they did something wrong. Condemnation of their families would also result harassment by the other students and that is something inappropriate for an innocent child.
But your opinion is appreciated and your rights respected.
The homosexuals and their enablers DO like to present those aspects of the traditional family, so they can show it as dysfunctional. "See....? Our lifestyle doesn't have those bad points like the breeders do. You should celebrate our lifestyle--not condemn it. We're better than them..."
