enchante 4,542 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Just kind of wanted to voice my thoughts on this and hear yours tbh. I’ve seen some people say children shouldn’t be exposed to the lgbt spectrum because it is abnormal and children should be given time to grow before they learn about it. Personally to put it the nicest I can this is a load of horse crap, to children who grow up with homosexual parents nothing about it seems dirty to them it’s just their parents. In that same strand I believe children are taught prejudice and not born with it. Let me know your opinion on the matter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chae(forever)young 782 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 homosexuality isn't even anything shocking, just tell the kids about it Exactly. When my dad told me what it meant when someone is gay or a lesbian he didn't beat around the bush about it; He just told me what it was and how some people just like what they like and that was it. It's parents who treat it like it's something to be afraid of or feared that give it stigma and cause it to seem "inappropriate". If you treat something like it's something to be feared or taboo, then it's going to be seen as something taboo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinky Winky 1,232 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Anyone who thinks it is abnormal is wrong and that behaviour is exactly why there is this prejudice against the LGBT+ community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katsu curry chips 7,808 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 LGBT is not abnormal, it's less common than heterosexuality, that's it! basically this, and children are perfectly capable of comprehending that love is a universal thing, perhaps even more so than adults sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haze 10,915 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 They like villianizing and hypersexualizing queerness in retrospect to heteronormative stuff. It's honestly a load of bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jela 1,609 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Ok the problem is that these homophobes (because people who say that showing something other than heterosexuality is inappropriate is homophobe in my book) associate being gay/bi/lesbian with sex only and completely overlook the fact that these sexual orientations are not just about sex and involves romantic attraction/feelings too. Just like heterosexuality. So if heterosexuality isn't seen as inapropriate I don't see why homosexuality/bisexuality should be. LGBT is not abnormal, it's less common than heterosexuality, that's it! Source ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Ayy Big Gay 8,172 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Intentionally not exposing your kids to gay shit would make some of them think there may be something inherently wrong with it so thats why their parents are trying to keep em away Just tell your kids about gay people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most of these surveys aren't even really representative because they really give an answer the question "what percentage of the adult population is openly gay" and don't take a looot of factors into account. for anyone interested this article sums it up nicely https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/what-percent-of-the-population-is-gay-more-than-you-think-5012467/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enchante 4,542 Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 I don't think you should be telling s 4 year old about sexual attraction It’s not sexual attraction but orientation. Nobody is telling they’re kids “hey sometimes guys blow other guys and that okay!†I’m asking if lgbt sexualities are inherently a dirty thing that children shouldn’t be exposed to.

PrazzyJazzy 4,132 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I think its stems from the fact that religious people use the "sex is for reproduction, not pleasure" argument against homosexuality -- but if that was the case then we wouldn't have developed to have stimulus around sexual reproductive organs. In fact, its been proven that animals NEED the stimuli to have sex. Basically, animals (and humans) evolved to have sex for pleasure more than for offspring. Thus, by their logic, heterosexual couples who don't want to have children OR have sex for any other reason other than to have children should be as "sinful" as homosexual couples.

Gray Wednesday 1,822 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I've actually overheard a heartwarming discussion once in a park. A mother with her small daughter (couldn't be older than 5 I think) were sitting on a bench and not far from them on another bench were 2 girls holding hands and at a point they kissed. The kid then pointed at them and said something like "Look mom, they love each other! I didn't know girls could too!" to which the mother responded "Yes they can, boys too" and the small girl was so surprised and kept going on and on about how cute the couple was asndsjf Kids know what love is and they'll understand, anyone using that excuse is clearly homophobic. Would you also not let your kids see interacial marriages because they're also inherently "inappropriate?" Like wtf Anyone who actually thinks this is seriously problematic They probably used to be seen like that years ago tho.... I guess it's just a matter of time till lgbt+ people won't be seen as "not normal" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know any religious people who deny the pleasure aspect of sex tbh. LOL! We acknowledge that it's purpose is mainly for reproduction....that's why you have to take extra measures if you DON'T want to reproduce; because otherwise, if you have sex, you gon' reproduce - that's what naturally occurs once everything is operating as it should. So you can't fight that; but pleasure is also a part of that...most religious people I know, acknowledge, embrace and promote that, once it's within marriage. What most religions find wrong with homosexuality, is that it deviates from what is seen by most religions as a natural design for home, family and ultimately society.
