I've mentioned them several times (whether in this thread or others, I've lost track). So have other posters. If you can't find the posts yourself, I am not going to repeat myself for you.

No, I've looked and I've looked and either it was mentioned just in passing and I haven't found it yet or you're being evasive and avoiding answering the question entirely because, you know, there's NO harm to anyone what two people you don't even know do in private. I suspect the latter.

Now, PLEASE spell out for all of us WHAT EXACTLY YOU THINK IS HARMFUL TO SOCIETY about gay people.

Read this real slow and tell me where it says sex education,
What it does say is "Homosexual normalcy" which would be a social issue.
All I said is educate the children to read and let them form their own individual opinions, simple, no insults and no harm in it.Just let kids grow up as kids, let them enjoy being a child, they will ask questions when they want to know.

Human sexuality IS a social issue...Here it is part of the education of normal human sexuality taught in our schools...If you want to argue semantics or just for the sake of arguing, I'm not going to bite.

Caleb doesn't have"moms", he has a mom and mom has a friend. Personally I couldn't care less as long as no one is trying to indoctrinate my child with the idea that this is "normal".

My kid, my values. Your kid... well teach them any damn thing you believe in.

New U.S. government stats reveal that teen births are up for the second year in a row...Why?

All they had to do was ask a Canadian. Despite Canadian and American women aged 15 to 44 declaring that they want the same number of kids (about 2.2), American women end up having 2.09 and Canadian women have about 1.6, and 30 per cent of that difference is due to teen births in the U.S., almost 90 per cent of which are unwanted.

The difference is not solely due to the ethnic composition of the U.S. population: the white population also has higher birth rates than other countries.

And it's not due to a higher abortion rate in Canada. In fact, unwanted pregnancies and births are more frequent in the U.S., as is the use of abortion.

No, the main reason is that Canadian teens of all social classes get comprehensive information about contraception and about how to avoid unwanted pregnancies. They get more sex ed in school, and can access high-school-based family planning counselling though the nurse. They can also always access universally free medical services, including visiting family doctor and special health clinics. And at all levels, there's a more positive attitude towards the pill, and either cheap or free prescriptions for it. The Tyee – Canada on Top in Sex Ed

Kids are taught that homosexuality does not make a person inferior beginning in grade 8....

I don't even have to look and I know that no one has pointed out something harmful about homosexuality in and of itself, because no such thing exists. While I do believe (generally speaking) what two adults do in private can affect society in subtle, indirect ways, no such way has been pointing out in regards to homosexuality either.

Ultimately, their strongest argument will forever be "An invisible, inaudible, intangible man says it's wrong".

So they learned about homosexuality in the back seat of a car on a warm summer night? Ohhh, that *is* bad. Sorry to hear about that!
