Based on some of the more recent responses on this thread, maybe someone should start a poll that says "do you feel it is correct to teach children that being a hateful and bigoted 'Christian' is normal and natural?"

Again:

That is all fine and dandy, but has no relevance whatsoever on rights and laws since the US does not and never has run on the Bible or Christianity.

LOL

Lots o' lulz.

But does that justify mistreating disabled people just because they are abnormal, and possibly even unnatural?

Even if it is argued that homosexuality is both abnormal and unnatural, that still does not justify intolerance and hatred towards gay people.

I see nothing wrong with teaching people tolerance for gay people, on the same basis of having tolerance for people with disabilities or people of another religion or philosophy, etc. It doesn't matter how something comes about, we are not justified in mistreating people based on something that makes them different.

Excellent points, but the reason we have to keep repeating the same pledge of tolerance, as you've done above, is that those who support the gay agenda know they cannot secure special rights for homosexuals with rational arguments. For that, they need baseless of accusations of hate.

Follow any of the debates on this thread or any other gay thread and you'll read logical posts by those who do not support special rights for homosexuals and accusations of hate, intolerance and ignorance by those who do.

I have explained in detail on many occasions that my aversion to homosexuality is an integral part of my immune system and something I was born with. My Behavioral Immune System - what liberals would label xenophobia - is really nothing more than a natural reaction of disgust to homosexuality and other lifestyles which are prone to foster novel pathogens.

The truth is, I wouldn't care to share a seat on the bus with a heterosexual who engaged in anal intercourse either. I view the act as nasty and disgusting and anyone who does it the same way.

What do you mean by "special rights" and "the gay agenda"?

Which is all homosexuals are asking for.

Their way of life harms no one.

Teaching kids this harms no one.

You cannot possibly speak for "all" homosexuals. No, this is not what all of them are asking for. You lost this one as soon as you spoke this way.

Yes, teaching kids that it is normal when many of them will be "noramally" and spontaneously grossed-out by the idea indeed can harm them.
You do the worst thing to them by brainwashing them to doubt themselves and their own, spontaneous reactions to such things. What I am saying right now has nothing to do with the subject of homosexuality. It has everything to do with letting kids form their own values and opinions/beliefs, and most of all the horrible SIN it is to take young, innocent children and start forming their beliefs against what they feel and see, even intuit from inside themselves.

Brain Washing ( Jesus Camp ''Highlights'' ) - YouTube

It remains a horrible thing to do to children. This is precisely the type of thing that should remain as, in reality it is. It is a matter of opinion, of "belief." Most children will, if having never been introduced at all to the subject of homosexuality think that it's a gross idea, and they like our own daughter first did will likely use that very term in their reaction.

Making children doubt what they sense, witness, intuit and discern is THE most horrible, even criminal thing one can do to them.
By dang, we've got it covered with our public, govt. schools.

I find it funny you love to put blame on public schools and ignore the sick twisted brain washing of private ones.

I know because I went to one.

They try to morph their opinions into you and create a bubble of that "evil society" that is everywhere.

Some kids want to have gay sex & some kids want to be religious. It's a free country.
