I guess i can see where you're coming from, but keep in mind that there are gay students at these schools, and that being gay is not chosen, so how could it not be normal or natural? if it's not then why does it exist when it's not chosen?
The point is, it doesn't MATTER if something's natural or normal. All that matters is if it causes any harm/risks compared to benefits/neutrality, in and of itself. This is the sort of thinking we should promote to our children. The entire debate needs to go. Moreso than any other debate because, in addition to us never getting anywhere on it, it teaches kids wrong no matter WHAT your side is. It promotes the idea to them that the way you're born (or how you contrast with others, another meaning of "normal" kids can assume is being used here) has anything to do with what you should be.
Question for you: What if a particular person WASN'T "born gay", and there was some objective way to know that for a fact. Would you have a problem with them "becoming gay" later on?

i DID not choose to be gay, i have never MET someone who DID. myself and all the gay people i know have stories of HARDSHIP over the FACT that we're gay. the simple solution to the problem if it was a choice would have been to simply 'not be gay'. but that wasn't a CHOICE GIVEN!!
weight the harm etc also makes no sense, since it's not chosen, however harmful you or someonne would think it is, wouldn't stop the nature and the reality of life here on earth. people will KEEP BEING BORN GAY, mental arguments won't change birth traits.
Why don't we just teach children that homosexuality is normal and natural for homosexuals, and homosexuals are people too, so they should have the same rights and responsibilities as heterosexuals. Why make this complicated?
Parents pass on their beliefs to their children, other than that it's not anybody else's business to push their opinions on other peoples children.
You might want to explore why parents have a right to control what their kids learn and think. If you have the right to teach your kid anything you want aren't you doing them a disservice? If you believe that the earth is 6000 years old, whites are the master race and all other races are inferior, do you feel your kids will be well served by not hearing alternative views? Isn't it better to expose your kids to a wide variety of views and allow them to develop their minds?
Apparently you don't have confidence in the strength of your own beliefs if you think exposure to alternative beliefs might sway your kids away from the echo chamber you have created for them...
And I agree, i also feel it's the parents job to pass on their beliefs to their children and no one else.
