I read the other day that Wal-Mart refuses to stock any books that talk about homosexuality. I guess they're afraid that their customers might become gay if they read about it.
I remember reading about a study a while back that concluded the more homophobic someone was, the greater chance that they had homosexual tendencies. Why hate other people because you're scared and frightened of your own sexuality, one that the people you hate shares? Preposterous.
If it's taught in a classroom, I think the teacher can handle answering that question. Seems pretty basic to me. You say: Some men like other men, and some women like other women. See how easy that is?
and then when the child comes home and asks mom and dad the same question and gets a different answer than what the teacher said, then you have the instance of where the child does not believe the teacher anymore and starts to consider that most of what the teacher puts out is either lies or some political agenda.

I read an Ayn Rand book once, and it turned me away from Liberals.
or they could conclude it as a business decision and like wal-mart to be called a family store, and their idea of a family consists of adam and eve, not adam and steve.
The same family store that has magazines with half naked women on the front? That kind of family store? LOL, gimmie a break.

Let's be honest here. Children explore their bodies and may even play doctor. I masturbated in grade school. I played doctor with both another boy and another girl, and I'm straight. Give the poor kids enough info so they can understand what they are feeling.

I have to assume that your definition of "family" does not includes families headed by same-sex couples. Estimates are that at least 250,000 children in the U.S. are being raised by same-sex parents.
like maxim and the like, which are way up out of reach & sight of most children?
Just give it up already. The hot rod mags, maxim etc, all have half naked girls on the front and all are easily accessible, right there in the aisle. You can't claim it's a family store, when they've got mags of girls bent over cars in the aisles; sell it to somebody else.
