I agree that parents have to be the ones to teach children about things before they learn it from "the outside." Unlike the Parkers, we homeschool, and this issue still came up much earlier than anticipated. If homsexuality is part of the world, it should be put in its proper place. Just because things exist and we acknowledge their existence, does not mean we have to tolerate it; it means we have to understand why it is.
Again well put. You must be a pretty good parent. My parents taught us how to deal with things too (as I've said before). A few times things came up, but my parents didn't have to worry about us too much as they had given us the tools to succeed. I often say that we weren't homeschooled, but we were schooled at home.
