No, the education regarding how gender and orientation aren't the same thing. And kids with gay parents can still learn how babies are made, btw. Unlike many right-wing bigots, they don't seem to filter or neglect teaching all the basics at a certain age.
You can't have one ounce of "faith" if you talk like that.
Oh, I believe what he said happened. Philly fans, especially the one's that tailgate can be brutal. If the kids felt embarrassed it was probably more to do with the fact of being eyed over rather then being embarrassed by their parents. I would imagine kids raised by gay parents get their fare share of bullying as well, which is a damn shame.
Kids get bullied for many reasons, and only the bullies (really their parents) should be to blame. I got bullied for being chubby and having red hair, both of which are direct traits from my father... but I'm still glad he conceived and raised me, and actually feel I'm a better person because of it. You know, it seems the kids who were bullied usually end up being the more awesome teens & adults - at least, that's what I have noticed over the years. Probably has to do with learning how intolerance hurts others, and developing a certain compassion for the "underdog."
Most kids do start asking around that age, so it's perfectly normal. Maybe your kids developed that line of thinking a bit late? Not to say that's a bad thing, but I guess every kid develops in different ways! I have studied childhood development in detail, btw, since it was part of my Master's Thesis (how different stages of development pertain to library services & materials).
My kids are perfectly normal adults and no they did not develop that thinking late. They just never pointed out the differences between them because they didn't care. They were more interested in playing with their toys and not the difference in their bodies.

If I talk like what? You mean, if I understand simple biology? Lots of people with faith understand and accept science, despite what the folks in certain circles might say.
Godless, anti-gun/anti-Constitution, drug abuser and GAY.....
I bet that kid will turn out a winner....
Who are you referring to here? I don't think any of that (except the parents being gay) was in the story.
FYI: Lots of "winners" are raised by Atheist Democrat parents, whether you are willing to admit it or not. Matter of fact, the majority of the region where I live falls under at least one of those categories - and we also happen to have a few of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the country, not to mention your computer was probably conceived and/or created here. Whoopsie!

Like I said, all kids are different! Just saying it's not abnormal behavior at that age, which any doctor or psychologist would likely confirm.

The parents will likely teach this kid to be everything a RWNJ isn't, meaning he'll do well in life.
