Do You Agree With These Parents?

[youngmafbog]

I must admit I do hold some sympathy. Whilst I certainly do not condone homophobia I really dont think schools should be promoting LGBT propaganda for children as young as this.

But will the Muslims be able to do better at halting this mad rush to push sex (all types) onto young children than the Christians or atheists have been?

Just bung the info woth the sex ed stuff, specific classes are OTT

[pixie374]

It is taught as part of relationship and sex lessons, spath.

"Sis" Gender, now I can imagine what many 'uneducated' might think that meant if they heard it for the first time - and it wouldn't be hetero!

Why do we always have to have labels, why cant we all just be us and live together in harmony without dividing ourselves all the time?

Wasn't there a thread on this
Story yesterda?

Jim, likening it to homosexuality is quite offensive. Sexuality is about being who you are and affects nobody else. Trans is about pretending to be something you aren't and insisting others adopt a pretence. They couldn't be more different.

teaching kids that it's okay to be gay sounds like a way of discouraging homophobic abuse, which is an attack on a fine old British tradition.

Interesting to see so many people suddenly thinking Muslim views on sexuality are the way forward.

Pixie, I wasn't likening it to homosexuality -- I'm sure I'm one of the least likely on this site to make that mistake -- except in terms of how people are reacting to the new term being invented and subsequently used.

[jim360]

bednobs, does seem to be related, yes.

[pixie374]

I doubt it Jim. Your posts on this subject are generally fantasy, to say the least.

[jim360]

Well, you're entitled to your opinion of my views on the topic -- although I disagree with that view, of course -- but my point is that I was absolutely not comparing transgenderism with homosexuality at any point in this thread.

parents were interviewed at length on BBC Midlands Today earlier this week. whilst there were a few "against our religion" comments, in the main the objection of most parents wasn't the content of the program, but an objection to what is essentially sexualisation of little children.

How are the right on Liberals going to get their heads round this one?
On the one hand LGBT is the big thing in their world, however a vulnerable minority's views are being ignored. Oh what a tangled web we weave.

[pixie374]

I'm not sure what these lessons consist of exactly, but I can't imagine it's about sexual intercourse, of any variety for 4 year olds. My 3 year old granddaughter knows I have a female friend with a girlfriend. That's it... it's normal to her and is nothing to do with sexualising her she doesn't think like an adult.

[woofgang]

so I can't use a phrase to describe me in certain circs.....I don't go around saying "hello I am Woofgang, I am cis gender" but in discussions such as this its a useful shorthand....as I was saying.....what naomi seems to be saying is that she doesn't want me to use a phrase that I choose to describe me.....no one else, only me......because she feels that I am then describing her with that phrase. Relax naomi, we are NOTHING alike and I will give you a certificate to that effect if you want one.

Just ask yourselves this question. Would being taught about LGBT between the ages of 4 to 11 have altered your current perception of the subject? My answer would be 'no'. Given that most of us would have been taught subjects 'parrot-fashion', the only things i remember from my first couple of years at school are times tables and rudimentary English grammar. Something as complex as sexual preferences would have gone way over my head.

[naomi24]

Woofgang, Call yourself whatever you like whenever you like. My objection was to being defined by that term, not to you using it to describe yourself. I simply defined it and you objected to my use of the word ‘normal’.

//we are NOTHING alike//

Thankfully we are not. I have no objection whatsoever to being regarded as normal.
