You can be a dyck to whoever you want, it is America. I can also be repulsed at anything I'd like. That is also my right.
The thought of homosexual copulation is repulsive to me, right or wrong in your eyes. The problem is I am forced to pay for public schools. The answer lies in the choice of schools, if I have to send my kids to public schools (you don't have to, but then you pay twice private school + property taxes) then I shouldn't have be forced feed my kids alternative lifestyles.
Give me a voucher, send your kids to places you approve of. What is next? Forcing Catholic schools that explicitly condemn homosexual lifestyle to learn about against their own religious beliefs?
So the non-Christian kids in public school have the right to be a dyck to Christian kids because this is America? Good to know.
And I don't like public schools. I homeschool. And still pay property taxes. Even if my child went to public school, I'm confident enough in my parenting and my relationship with my child to believe my values will influence him more than a 30 minute lesson.
they just don't want to deal with or think about the "ick factor" and believe that it should be forever kept hidden away...... because after all, if they can't see it, it doesn't exist, right??
No one said people deny it exists. This was a debate over public school's role in promoting alternative lifestyles.
The ick factor? That is cute, but partially valid. I don't want to think about it, it personally is something that repulses me (the copulation). Out of sight out of mind, of course - Much more pleasant. Can we address the elephant in the room please? If you want to actually define homosexuality, it is the sexual attraction to the same sex. That is what is major difference between the hetero/homo lifestyle and families.
So, to some extent you are right. Keep it away, the less I have to see something I don't like the better. The reason we gravitate towards things that induce positive emotions/reactions/thoughts is the same reason we avoid do the opposite for unpleasant things.
If I don't something, I don't indulge. If I do, I do. It is pretty basic....
I think everyone's sex life is their own business. Why are we discussing any kind of sexual lifestyle with 5-year-olds? Let's teach them how to read and tie their shoes instead.

In short, yes. If some child making fun of your religious beliefs is the watershed moment in your life questioning your religion then you are in for a brutal life. We made fun of kids for everything and got made fun of for everything. Whether I had a pimp on my nose one day or wore a corny outfit. We clowned on people for dating some girl, or this or that.
You shouldn't have to pay the schooling portion of property taxes if you go private or homeschool. I completely agree with you, and while I would love to homeschool when I have kids, I highly doubt I could accept the lifestyle impact not working my FT job would be.
I don't want to hijack the thread, but property taxes are probably the single most unfair tax system in this entire country. Don't even get me started...
Appreciate the attempt to hijack the thread for your own comfort.
Lol! Hijack the thread? It's about kids being exposed to the concept that some families have two daddies! I'm not talking about basketball or dish soap or global warming.

The thought of two whale-sized people copulating is repulsive to ME. I think we should discriminate against little children with morbidly obese parents.

Maybe I'm dense, but I don't understand how reading stories about different family configurations promotes alternative lifestyles..... what about single parent families.... should they be concealed, too?? or children being raised by aunts, uncles, grandparents or even older siblings?? if we don't discuss them, do they not exist?? is the only acceptable family configuration for children to know about and be ok with the original mommy and original daddy and full children configuration?? no step-siblings, no half-siblings, because after all, isn't that an alternative lifestyle to the only one that produces genuine offspring??
if you don't want to think about the ick factor, why did you start the other thread and why are you so active in this one.... unless it is to PROMOTE your homophobia.....
Part of the problem however with what is or isn't being taught in Public Schools is that even kindergarten curriculum about a new girl in class with a pet iguana gets reported as an attempt to teach gay sex to kindergarteners.
What exactly does this story say that people would perceive it as attempting to teach same sex?
I don't know, but that doesn't stop the reporting.
A California school district has approved a mandatory homosexual curriculum for children as young as 5 – and parents will not be allowed to remove their children from the lessons.

How is this promoting homosexuality??
“We are not telling anyone what to think,” Jensen said. “We are letting children know that gay people exist and they deserve to be treated with respect, regardless of whether or not you believe that homosexuality is acceptable

Don't you know that kids reading about African-Americans will immediately turn black? Kids reading about Carmen Sandiego will immediately become hispanic, and kids reading about homosexuals will immediately turn gay.
It's common knowledge.
