Gotta agree with this one. A 14 year old would be one thing, but a 10 year old doesn't really understand what he is doing here and is clearly being influenced by his parents.
I also don't recite the Little League pledge "I trust in God, I love my country and I will respect its laws..." because I only believe in 1 of those statements.

The kid may not fully understand what he is doing when he refuses to say the pledge.
Just like he doesn't fully understand what he is doing when he says the pledge.
You've got a dirty mind... because it is indeed possible to explain how men can love other men without talking about penises and anuses. When your child asks about a married man and woman, do you graphically explain to them how they have sex?
Yeah, except when the child figures out what goes in and out of what "hole", he/she might get a little confused. They haven't had the time we have had to become jaded to "ewwww, that can't be right!".
I'm disgusted with where this thread went. If grown, consenting adults want to have anal sex, then let them!! It's not that serious.
And honestly, you can discuss nontraditional relationships with your kids without bringing sex up. I wouldn't even consider it if I had kids. If my kid asked me "how did you make me?" I would still explain it without walking on the sex issue. I think anything sexual discussion before puberty is just so inappropriate.

What goes on in the intimacies of the bedroom between two consenting adults is really beside the point, isn't it? It's not exactly like only gay couples use alternative "holes"; straight couples actually engage in some "ewwww, that can't be right" activities as well.
I would hope that my 10 year old would not be aware that men's things get hard and then get stuck into the anuses of other men.
But, hey! That's just me, being an old fashioned mother and holding the unpopular belief that children should be protected and not made aware of the specifics of every kind of sexuality known to man.
To use your child as a political pawn, forcing upon him knowledge he has no business knowing -- that is child abuse. It is repugnant.
Of course you would think about the details and WRITE about them here!
Why are you so obsessed with gay men's sex?
What about two butch women scissoring each other? Or Ellen and Portia doing what they do?
Maybe the kid just thinks that if two adults love each other that they should be able to get married. Maybe he has no idea what sex is or that it has anything to do with marriage.
How about focusing on actually raising your kids and not on "protecting" them from what you find personally offensive?

Blinded by the "consenting adults in a bedroom" agenda, you have confused the issues here.
I am happy the little boy is standing up for what he believes in, and I'm all for GLBT rights being the same as those who are straight, but it bothers me that this little boy is stand a stand on something I am like 100% sure he barely can comprehend, in terms of historical and social context.
I agree with this statement. This is just as bad as the teabaggers that had their children holding up Obama hate signs. I don't think children should be used in an attempt to further political agenda.

I agree too, and not be confused with educating children about social and political issues in an age-appropriate manner.

So be sure to share your asinine bigotry equally between gay men and gay women.
They haven't had the time we have had to become jaded to "ewwww, that can't be right!".
