What Should Children Be Told About Marriage Equality?

[Fang]

I don't tell my young child anything about gay marriage. When he asks what marriage is (and he has) I tell him it's a special bond between a MAN and WOMAN. He'll learn about all this crap later in life. But for now our influence is one of man and woman. PERIOD.

He'll "learn" it as soon as he turns on the TV or learns to read. Sending him to public school? Our kids go there too...you know the kids with gay parents! {gasp}

Oh yeah, gay kids go to public schools too...

If I'm reading you right you took my post personally. Oh well, not my problem.

Marriage Equality: What Do We Tell the Kids? | The Bilerico Project

I've always found that the least psychologically-damaging thing to tell kids is the truth; and not some APA gay-owned cooked up cauldron of lies to cover denial issues they don't want to examine in themselves. One of those issues would be the glaring examples of closeted heterosexuality in the homosexual subculture. But there are others.

Or you could just simply show the kids this picture and tell them "these people should not be around children in a family." Kids are pretty smart. They spot the obvious right away. They should have no trouble comprehending that the people below should not be near children.

You people need to parent your own children

Keep your hands and ideas off of ours

First of all, there are almost 400k of "your" children living in foster care.

Second of all, many gays & lesbians conceive and deliver babies for each other. So it is not all about "your" children.

Why not worry about the children in abusive situations and leave those kids who have loving homes alone?

If a family has a gay family member you tell that gay child that you love them very much. That will never change. You just won't accept gay behavior as normal because it isn't.

It is very painful but parents are often faced with children who have compulsions. I'm sure Jeffrey Dahmer ' s mother loved him in spite of what he did. Parents show up at jails to bail their children out of jail. They still love those children but won't accept the actions as normal. Not even if that act comes from a compulsion they cannot control.

Gay behavior is normal to a certain percentage of individuals. That makes it normal. If we are to accept what you say as being true, then we could just as easily say that being left handed is abnormal, wrong, and dangerous. Funny thing about that; the Catholic Church for centuries believed that being left handed meant a person was the servant of the Lucifer himself. They would forcibly make left handed people use their right hand. In Catholic schools, as late as the 70's, nuns would use rulers on the hands of anyone using their left hand.

Just because a behavior does not conform to your idea of normal does not make it abnormal.

Sorry but gay is maybe 2 percent of the population, that is in FACT the definition of Abnormal.

Actually it is quite a bit higher than that. But by what standards are you making it "abnormal" when all of the leading scientific and medical organizations have declared just the opposite?

 

[PoliticalTorch]

I told my kids when they were old enough to ask. They will ask. I just explained that some people like boys and some like girls. when they got older they came back and asked how a gay couple could have children I told them via adoption of children that didn't have homes.

And while that was very commendable of you I see that you failed to also inform them that Gays and Lesbians are also perfectly capable of procreation if they so choose. Just because a man is Gay does not mean he is impotent! By the same token just because a woman is a Lesbian does not mean she loses her eggs or capacity to reproduce. Indeed, many Gay and Lesbian people do reproduce either through the conventional way or through artificial insemination. There are several stories I could present to you about Lesbians who got pregnant and had Quintuplets (two different sets of Lesbians.) Likewise, men who have their own children. Others adopt as you have brought out.

You tell children that families have mommies and daddies. Even if mommy and daddy are not together they both love their children very much. Some men and women are deranged. They have two women or two men pretending to be the same as real families. These people are just pretending. They cannot be trusted. Never let yourself be alone with them. Run away.

Actually this is how one teaches his children hatred and bigotry.

Possibly because those scientific and medical organization were pressured into making that declaration. It was a political declaration and not because of a scientific or medical breakthrough.

Like all parents, a clean room is more important than anything, see the mother's note to her son, who dared leave soda can around.

And for a Real Education on sex, have any of you ever watched The Jerry Springer Show and are you sure your under-aged children aren't watching it on prime time when you aren't around (or even when you are?) The results may surprise you!

That's Spot On!! But it sure appears that some people prefer to teach children hatred and bigotry rather than the truth that it is better to Love than to hate.

Teaching them that 'no one' wants to marry some child who cannot clean their rooms is the great equalizer, untrue, but in my home, as a child, all were equal. The idea stuck, I thank my parents.

It's how you keep children from being victimized by a degenerate.

Any adult with a sexual interest in children, pre puberty, is a degenerate.

What Should Children Be Told About Marriage Equality?

Depends on the kid and the context. Even little kids understand "Uncle Bob and Uncle Gary love each other like Mommy and Daddy do and are going to get married".

See, not so hard.

Of course not. But unfortunately it sure appears to be to the hard-headed Conservatives.
