Why is teaching your children that deviant behaviour is acceptable a good thing?
Why teach kids that the private lives of others is an "unacceptable bad thing"? That just leads to problems, fights, fear, and hatred and violence. How is the world supposed to deal with more of that?

Pray for your own damn self.

That's funny cause aren't you Middle Eastern? Or should I say from Nepal? You do know that there are many who don't want to be around Middle Eastern people, don't you? Maybe you are even Muslim... do I have to say more? No.

You expect tolerance, but you don't practice what you ( probably) preach.

Aw, thanks. I hate to impose, but could you pray that...

My children grow up in a world as free from discrimination as possible.

That I and my S.O. are not attacked, belittled or harmed for who we are.

That we are allowed to establish a household and care for our family as we see fit.

And things like that? Because that would actually be really helpful.

Kids know about homosexuality before 9th grade. I have kids in middle school that have gay friends in their grade and below. The sooner they know, the more tolerant they will be.
I'm not at all in favor of banning words.

Sex ed should be used for teaching "normal" sexual relationships to age appropriate children.

It turns into a "tolerance training agenda" for freakish lifestyles.

No thank you.

Some kids are gay. They need information that's helpful to them, too.

No doubt.

The gay community should council these kids on their own dime, on their own time.

Our kids can't do math, but they're nice to gays!

Did you know you can teach them to do math AND be nice to gays? I know it's shocking, but really, it can be done.
