I don't think we should advance them. Or teach them.
Which is behaviour committed by heterosexuals. Does that mean we should not teach about heterosexuality?

What does homosexuality have to do with any of those things?

Homosexuality ALSO does not belong in the classroom.

Based on what logic? Still not understanding the difference between sexual orientation and sexual behavior, or simple religious/personal beliefs?

How about take a gay porn video to 1st graders and let them decide what is NORMAL. I think you would get a reaction that would not favor your goal to demoralize the youth.
This is just sick. We're talking about children and you want to show them porn?

I've tried to get he/she/it to address this and he/she/it refuses.

What's worse than wanting to show porn to 1st graders is that he/she/it seems to think that said 1st graders would be disgusted by watching male homosexual sex, but implies that 1st graders would have no problem watching 'normal' hetersexual sex.

Being Homosexual or Heterosexual isn't something someone "does". It is something someone 'is'.

I think you asked too broad of a question. It's one thing for the state (through public education) to teach children that homosexuality is normal, another for individual parents to do so. Many people, I'm sure, would not object to the latter while objecting to the former.

I object to both. God's natural law cannot be changed, and it is evident that homosexuality runs counter to it. It has been very common throughout history, true; homosexuals do not choose their orientation, true; but these things do not change the fact that it is a disordered inclination, and people who find themselves attracted to the same sex should live chastely. Of course, that's totally verboten, along with (straight) celibacy and consecrated virginity in our sex-saturated society.
