That's a fact and I'm cool with it. What I don't like is the idea that it's "ok to be gay" being jammed down kids throats.

its not like it is required reading for third graders.

You can't put kids in a little barrel and protect them from everything. They're going to see and hear things regardless of your best effort to protect them from it.

But you certainly can try to protect them from more than one thing, right?

I mean, like, I don't want my kids to drink or do drugs. Do I have to pick one or can I express my disapproval of both?

You and I have different ideas about what constitutes "hate".

what if the book was about interacial relationships, would you see throwing away property that isn't yours as a hatefilled act? I would. you just have to look at the reason behind the action.

Yes, you can try to protect them from more than one thing and I think any sensible parent does.

I suppose the "gay thing" doesn't phase me because my uncle is gay and I've got many gay friends. There's absolutely nothing wrong with them and they're the type of people I'd gladly let around my children. "The Gay" doesn't rub off.

Why does it have to be "hate"? Can't it simply be "I don't agree with your personal choices and prefer not to have my children exposed to them"? Don't people have that right?

No.

If someone snuck up behind an interracial couple with a bat and bashed some skulls, I'd call that a hatefilled act.





Unless the assailant was simply robbing them. Then it wouldn't be a hatecrime.... just a crime.

I fell the same way about bigotry with my children. I have a lesbian cousin and she's been with her partner for 20 years. They see her at all the family stuff and it's no big deal. All three of my kids this is strange when people are afraid of the scary gays. So do I.

If they happen to be gay when they grow up I'm ok with that too. I just want them to be happy with who they are. They are most likely not, but still I'd love them the same no matter what. Do you really want to teach your kids the same in homosexuality and have them living a lie their whole life because they are afraid you will disown them?

About the only ting I would be against is their becoming Mormons or one of those other wacko religions that ring my doorbell at 7 am on a Saturday.

Some people also bang sheep, but it's not in the public library.

They should hand this book out to those who need it.

Sheep banging books should always be available!!! :killingme

But seriously, :coffee: you have a point that it should be accessible to those who may have a use for it. But it was obviously a self help book for kids with these issues. We should be glad that there are materials out there to help young people sort these issues and know they are'nt alone in their home situations.
Does anyone have a title of this book in question? I find it hard to believe that it was truely that graphic.

I've never met a gay person that wanted others to become gay and join them. Approval maybe, embrace no. I think most gay men and women would just settle for no open hostility.
