So you really think by showing a movie on how to be tolerant of gay kids that it will make your kids feel they HAVE TO BECOME GAY?

So do you hate gay people for being different, or are you scared of them?

Why is it they do not have the same rights your children have?

All I can say is, WOW. So can a gay kid seduce your straight kid and turn em gay?

How do you sleep at night knowing the gays might come and GIT YOU and TURN YOU GAY?

THAT'S ALL.

What the hell are you talking about? Teaching kids not to harass or bully those who are gay is not going to turn someone gay.

I don't hate them at all. But yes I do think all this is about is turning straight kids gay. I don't want kids bullied, I was and I know what it's like somewhat, also I think just about every kid gets bullied at some time while they're at school.

I am disgusted.


And yes, I believe your ignorance to be a great evil in this world.

LOL, turning straight kids gay, please. It doesn't exactly work that way. I am strongly in favor of gay rights, strongly in favor of Gay Marriage, repealing DADT, etc, but I'm straight and nothing is going to turn me gay. Kids aren't going to all of a sudden turn gay because they are taught not to bully and harass those who are. That really is some asinine leap in logic.

Wow. How can you be disgusted because I don't want my children to be encouraged to be gay or any other left version of what people should do ? I also don't see myself as a great evil either. It always gets me that my beliefs can be p***** all over by some and I'm told "to get over it" but let me disagree with their opinions and all of a sudden I'm evil and disgusting.LOL Well you know what if it takes being called evil and disgusting to make sure my kids grow up without being pressured by the school to do things they don't want to then fine. I can handle it.

They aren't being pressured to do things they don't want to do.

They are being pressured to be tolerant of others who are different.

Or is tolerance of others who are different the thing that you disagree with?

Are you saying that tolerance is unacceptable? Pressuring children to be tolerant is unacceptable?

Really cause there's lot of women right now having gay "relations" that are not actually gay, they do it because some people have told them they should, that it's ok even if they're not all that comfortable with it. If someone does certain things because they want to it's one thing, it may be wrong to me but it's of their own free will, it's another when they're pressured into it by someone else even if that someone is the school.

It's not that they are wimps. It's that people have been taught to mind their own business and won't stand up for each other. And bullies now push things too far. You can defend yourself in the moment, but that doesn't stop a knife or a gun later.

Tolarance to me means I'll leave you alone. Not I'll take part in everything you do to prove I like you. And that's what they're teaching, not be nice to everybody.
