Should we tell kids about homosexuality

I think if they ask then some sort of response is needed but it should be explained in an age appropriate manner.
 
Some people recommend talking about homosexuality at a certain age. It doesn't matter what age they are. You just limit the discussion to that appropriate age level. It doesn't mean you can't tell a 5 year old about gays, just limit it to something like bobby has two daddies who love each other like mommy and I do... Just like you wouldn't tell a 5 year old about how mommy and daddy EXPRESS their love there's no reason to tell jimmy how Frank and Tom across the street do it either.
 
Absolutely, the only thing holding your kids back is the fact you won't teach them stuff until they are xxx old. How do you expect kids to mature without knowing stuff!
 
Umm.. could you clarify that poll a bit. Who are "we'? The kid's parents? Teachers? Strangers?

We (my wife and I) incorporate the topic of homosexuality into our birds-n-bees discussions with our daughter.
 
Considering the fact that the same user said

So the answer to that is to teach the kids Christianity in school and hen the values they learn will do more good to prevent the consequences you're worried about.
Saving that no it's not the school's place to tell kids about sex, condoms, homosexuality, which might go against their family's values. Kids aren't allowed to have sex and they don't need to know about it. Allt hey need to know is not to do it.

well... You get the idea :/
 
Absolutely. I think part of good parenting is to warn and protect your children of the dangers that lay in wait to prey on them. An informed child knows when to spot a bad thing and keep on the right direction. If we did not inform them they may do something regrettable eg. influenced by primetime "pop" television programming and their secret gay and lesbian agenda.

Depends on the age/maturity of the kid. At the high school level, yes, we should.

yeh... i dont know where you went to school... but i knew about gay people way before highschool...

i remember finding out what "lovely human" meant in 5th grade from my older cousin... she yelled at me for using it... i had no idea what it meant... but it had become the new popular insult in our school...

fact is parents probably should be explain some sh!t a lot early then they do... i mean honestly ... who didnt know about sex before there parents told them about it...

Yup, even way back in the 70's(when I was in school) kids talked about various things concerning Sex/Sexuality regularly. Most of the talk was vague and secretive, but it happened along time before the subject was dealt with in SexEd or(in my case) by Parents.

Homsexuality is not "danger"

However much you want to aruge, sexual orientation is pretty much set in stone by 5 months in the womb. It doesn't change after that.

as for the gay\lesbian agenda?

You lost your tinfoil hat a few feet back 🙂
 
no, we should not be talking about anything related to sex with our children. we shouldn't even be talking about it with adults. no sex talk whatsoever. you perverts all deserve to go to jail for spreading such filth.

I'm not sure you are.
 
there's no need for it. MTV will eventually educate them on it, lol!!!!. I'm not against homosexuals or anything, and believe it's decided @ birth. I guess, I'm just a bit conservative when it comes to speaking with children about any type of sex.

Do kids under 10 even need to know about heterosexual sex?

At some level yes. Especially if they go to a public school and you can't watch *every* single thing they are exposed to. Some loudmouth 6-year-old on my daughter's bus, talking about some junk she overheard her big sister talking, about is what caused our daughter to begin asking questions. We thought we had a few years left, but handled it rather well, if I do say so myself.
 
The story of Lot in the Bible tells us that pimping out your daughters is completely acceptable, whereas homosexuality is not.
 
Yes, if you don't they'll learn about it from someone else. Wouldn't you rather have some control over their introduction to the idea, whichever way you feel about it?
