Yes, and I stress to add that I speak only from my own experience, which is limited, I'm sure. Some people are irritated by seeing same-sex couples in public. I usually am not, unless...
For example, I don't like to see overtly affectionate people in public regardless of their gender preferences. That's what privacy is for, IMHO.
The truth about the homosexual agenda has come out, its not about tolerance.. They don't want people to tolerate them they want people to celebrate and accept them, and they are willing to turn preschools into reeducation camps to do just that...
Seems like you don't mind..
To begin with, I do not have a religion, nor do I believe in god.
Draconian, ALL sentient beings have religious belief concerning the existence or nonexistence of God. This is true whether or not they belong to an formal organization.
This isn't meant to destroy the religious beliefs of others. This is meant to keep children from hating on gays.
Ah,,,the problem with "intent". That you may not "mean" to destroy the religious belief of others, does not mean that you won't.
Having the government teach children to accept all lifestyles is in complete contradiction to the religious teachings of many faiths. What the government is doing is actively destroying that child's religious belief and driving a wedge between his parents and his culture.
Also....not condoning homosexual behavior, or premarital sex or infidelity among heterosexuals or homosexuals is NOT HATING the people doing these things.
Lastly, I live in the U.S., and last time I checked there was a separation of church and state.
If you belief this then you MUST also support the complete separation of SCHOOL and state. Why? The reason is that educating child has highly NON-NEUTRAL political, cultural, and religious consequences. This is axiomatic.
Public schools offer better educations, such as the IB program.
What the schools should do to avoid angry parents is this:
Send a letter home announcing they will be teaching about homosexuality, and if the parents don't want their kids learning that they send a detailed letter to the principal.
That's what teachers to with Human Groth & Development down here. And they all teach it with gay/straight/bi preferences.

This is what the schools are trying to prevent.

Those teens in IB programs are wasting their lives. As I drive by our government indoctrination camps, I often think that the top 20% could be accomplishing what my children did.
My own kids were in college at the ages of 13, 12, and 13. Two were finished college with B.S. degrees in mathematics at the age of 18. One of these recently finished a masters in math at the age of 20.
All three of the children were finished with their college generals and Calculus III by the age of 15.
The oldest studied accounting since he is a nationally and internationally ranked athlete and this program could be studied in the evening. As part of his athletics he has traveled throughout the world. At the age of 19, just 13 courses shy of a degree, he left for Eastern Europe on a 2 years service project for our church. He returned completely fluent in Russian. He will soon finish his B.S. degree at an age when his contemporaries are finishing theirs, but far richer in language and life experiences.
And the troll goes ZOT.
Is this Scrappleface????
If not NUT is appropriate.
That used to be a joke when I was in school. Now you'd probably be sent to a re-education and sensitivity training class OR, it would be true for some of these poor kids.
The Sex Positive teaching crowd opposes abstinence not because "it doesn't work" but because they consider it unhealthy. Same as they consider suppression of homosexual desires unhealthy.
They want people acting on sexual impulse without judgement. If it feels good do it.

I never said anything even remothely close to that. I would like the homosexuals to tolerate my heterosexuality as much as they want me to tolerate their homosexuality. Hererosexuality is not forced on anyone in this country, but homosexuality is being promoted as a natuaral lifestyle, which it is not. I am not for killing them, I just want them to get their sex life out of my face.
