Since it appears that every sexual preference now wants curriculum time; how 'bout the foot fetishers. What say you?

Absolutley. Of course gay rights and foot fetish history should be taught in schools. In place of math and english of course. Now just to replace...............oh wait they teach evolution!

No. I would much rather they teach young girls where they can secretly get abortions at the age of 14 without parental consent though. *rolls eyes*

Seriously, Sonrise? I used to see quality in your posts...but this...?

How do you compare a sexual orientation (Gay, straight, lesbian, bisexual) to a foot fetish?

Sure, at the appropriate time when most public schools begin sex ed. Throw in a bit of time and discuss odd sexual behavior. Make sure our young pre teens and teens know all about people who get off on ears and feet. Because unlike us, they need to know everything at a very young age, so that nothing is ever a surprise. Bondage, S&M, role playing should all be addressed to make sure our kids know all the tricks from the get go. Definately deserves to be included into sex ed classes nationwide

What's the difference; they're both about minority sexual preferences. Gays make up between 3-7% of the population, depending upon which poll you look at; I bet foot fetishers make up an even greater %, yet they hardly, if ever get mentioned.

Gay is not a fetish. That is the difference.

And for some people, it is not a preference. I do not remember ever making a conscious decision to be straight just like my good gay friends did not make a conscious decision to be gay.

Perhaps because it is, in it's own way, a sexual orientation. Many people with such fetishes don't care about the sex of their partner. For them, it is the feet that are the object of lust and perhaps even love. So in essence, you could see this as their sexual orientation. Just as a person who likes to have sex with animals may not care what the sex is of the animal. They simply enjoy dominating the animal. So this could also be seen as their sexual orientation. In this day and age, the old cut and dry, gay or str8, doesn't quite cover the massive differences in the sexual appetites of human beings. There are far more labels to be given than gay or str8.

sex ed is good but i am really concerned about the low math and reading scores in k12.
i think it is something we might consider good allocation of scarce resources.

Sonrise is obviously trying to mock the hardships of the gay and lesbian groups.

Before anyone says anything, I am straight and I am against teaching homosexuality in schools until they are in the late junior high school years. I do not even support them talking about various sexual methods or whatever other people think they are teaching. I think going over it VERY VERY briefly is sufficient enough. Nothing that would involve graphic description of what they do, you know?
