Facebook killed the radio star. And by radio star, I mean the premise of distributed forums around the internet. And that got got by Instagram/SnapChat. And that got got by TikTok. Where the fuck is the internet we once knew?

Children need to understand that there are gay people in the world. Otherwise, they'll grow up afraid of gays and, if the kid is gay, he won't understand it and have a confusing adolescence with feelings that he doesn't understand properly. I think it's very important to expose children to all aspects of the world.
You guys are saying it as if it's an erotic book. Although I haven't read the book and I've never even heard about it, I imagine that it isn't erotic. There's nothing wrong or weird about same-sex relationships, unless you're still living in the past.
I think that they should make a book like that required for children.

I agree, but if you introduce them to these sorts of things when the children are too young to fully understand them, I fail to see any point in introducing them at all. I think homosexuality should be thoroughly covered as soon as the kids are old enough to be educated on the subject of sex.Quote from: iago on April 29, 2006, 05:23:12 pmYou guys are saying it as if it's an erotic book.

There's nothing wrong or weird about same-sex relationships, unless you're still living in the past. It's clearly strange to the children since its obvious they haven't been introduced to the subject yet (and lack proper education creating the possibility of fully comprehending it). Their parents are filing lawsuits. I don't think the school system has any right to interfere with how parents are governing they way they raise their children. If they want to shield them from homosexuality, I don't see it at all just for a teacher to suddenly push this sort of subject on children. I wouldn't argue this point in the least bit if the teacher had asked permission from the parents.Quote from: iago on April 29, 2006, 05:23:12 pmI think that they should make a book like that required for children.

iago's point was it is obserd to try to shield children from gay people and other facts of life, parents can raise thier kids but not control the random enviorment of the world around thier children.
If gays wanna get married and be miserable like the rest of us, I say let 'em.

No, it's different. Children are taught that slavery is BAD, and thus they're against it.However, now they're being taught that homosexuality is acceptable and OK...so they'll be for it and probably experiment with it. And that's wrong.Read a recent article from Time magazine (2 months old or so) - it said that a large percentage of teens are become "bicurious" because it's "cool" - this will just further that and it's wrong.My sister is in 2nd grade and her homework consists of how Jesus is different than other kings (ie. not concerned over land) and she's required to memorize bible versus that discuss living a good life and not stealing and etc. She is not recieving assignments or stories or anything else that involves two gay fairies. I will be placing my children in private school.
