Little girl stands firm in face of street preacher's homophobic rant

[ChrisL]

I disagree, chrisL. Some children are extremely astute, and most know a hell of a lot more than adults think. In my case, for example, I was told that my father had died in an accident when I was in the 2nd grade. i knew that it was a lie, and suspected that it was suicide. I was right.

The child, in this case is learning passive resistance to bigoted people, and screaming hate filled people. It is a useful lesson. And you can bet that she had been educated by her parents. She is obviously at a gay pride parade, and wearing a rainbow skirt. At that age, she is likely to see worse at church, if she had different parents..

No they don't know "more" than adults.

No she isn't learning anything. She isn't old enough to understand what any of these people are fighting about. It is wrong to expose your child to these types of things. She is being used and that is all.

If you are not teaching your child values at the age of this child, Chris, then shame on you.

If you bring your child to gay protests, then shame on YOU. It's selfish and that is all.

I have no problem with you bringing your child to church, which I totally reject myself. It is too bad that you don't respect my right to educate my child to be accepting, kind, and non bigoted. I am proud of it, and not about to apologize for it at all.

I don't bring my child to church. You should shut the fuck up about that which you know nothing about.

The CHILD has been on this earth for a grand total of SIX years. She has no CLUE what is going on at a gay rally or protest.

...and perhaps you should stop making value judgments about how, and what I teach my children and grandchildren.

It looks like a parade, not a protest.

That might be true, if the parents have not exposed her to the world. Not the case, here.

Are you saying that parents can't take their children to parades, because hate filled Christians might get in their face?

You value your freedumb that much, eh?

Little Girl Does Not Give a Fuck About Street Preacher s Homophobic Rant

So, to those of the Christian Right: Are you as smart as a fifth grader?

What's a homophobe? Is that someone who cowers in fear at the sight of a homo? I've never seen anyone like that.

Little Girl Does Not Give a Fuck About Street Preacher s Homophobic Rant

While I support gay marriage, I have a problem with this. This child is just a baby. She doesn't understand the issues and is not old enough or knowledgeable enough to make an informed decision about such issues. I think it's quite clear that a person (probably one of her parents) gave her a flag and told her to stand and wave it around. They are USING the child as a pawn, and that is wrong no matter what. Who would expose a young impressionable child to such bitterness and ugliness?

It appears that this little girl is the sane rational one of the two, with the bitterness and ugliness coming from the preacher who hides his bigotry behind the Bible.

I agree, and why would someone expose an innocent 6-year-old to such things? To help with an agenda, which is why she is being used as a pawn. You know, little kids take things like that man was saying to her to heart. They believe adults and think adults are all knowledgeable.

I also question what kind of scum street preacher would get in a little girl's face like that.

The guy has a screw loose obviously. This is why it is a bad environment for little ones. You want to protest, that's fine. Leave the kids out of it!

HELLO IN THERE....IT WAS A PARADE!!!

Apparently, Carla, there are "good" parades, and "bad" parades.

Children shouldn't be used as tools, that's what that was

So...you have a problem with churches having children stand on street corners with Yes on H8 signs in 2008. Good to know.

 

[Sunni Man]

If the little girls parents explained that she was supporting grown men sticking their pee-pee's inside other men's doo-doo hole.

I have no doubt the poor child would be mortified and want to throw up. .....

The kid was standing there high fiving people...she knew exactly why they were supporting her.

And...again, we have a RWr thinking so much of the male sex act....way more than any gay person would.

That is not an appropriate environment for a 6 year old child. End thread.

It looks like a parade? WTF kind of parades did you attend as a child? That doesn't look like a parade to me. Parades are fun and people are happy, not screaming and yelling at one another. This is some bullshit you're spewing.

I love it when "freedumb" lovers say we shouldn't take our children to parades.
