Read this one more time I believe a child should form their own opinions.

What's with the attitude?

Okay, so that means you are also against people telling kids that homosexuality is "not normal" or that it's wrong. Good to know! If everyone were like that, kids could very well be allowed to form their own opinions on the subject... and find that it's just another variance between human beings that doesn't hurt a thing.

But of course, that would mean that parents shouldn't seek to influence their child's opinion either. So you are doing exactly what you kept criticizing me for, saying each parent should not teach their kid whatever they want...

Whether you believe it or not, it's not going to happen. People, including children, interact with other people and their opinions, unless they are on a desert island.

It doesn't matter what other people do with THEIR children, I don't tell others what to do with their children.

Life and expereances form a persons opinion, of course people around you influence children but they still form their own opinion, they don't need to be taught what to think.

I don't tell them what to do, either. I might give an opinion on what they should do, however. And in that respect, you and I are no different:

This means you believe that other people (including parents) should not try and shape their opinions, does it not?

And I've already explained to you how it does matter what other people do with their children

Why is it reasonable to teach young children that it is normal to be homosexual, at such a young age that most of them don't even understand normal sexuality.

Discuss.
There is nothing reasonable about it.
