Homosexuality in the Classroom.

[Darcey1]

My daughter is nine. Yesterday she came home from school and said that her teacher had told the class that she was a lesbian. The teacher is about to have one of these civil partnerships and according to my daughter told the class that girls could marry girls and boys could marry boys if they wanted to.It was according to her entirely natural. This seems like corruption to me. I don't want my daughter exposed to this kind of lifestyle.

I am very upset about this and don't know what to do. Am I over reacting? Should the school have warned us that the teacher was going to do this? Do you think I should make a complaint to the school?

I have been wondering all afternoon, DP, (cause I had the album on in the car): do you ban your son from listening to American Idiot in case he wants to be part of 'the f*ggot America' like Billie-Joe?
Where are you going to draw the line on all the external influences pushing this bizarre notion that homosexuality is normal and nothing to be afraid of?

Daftpunk -- how do you live with yourself knowing that you are the worst kind of prejudiced bigot? And to think that you have children!!?? My blood runs cold at the thought of how you parent your offspring.

You are sick in the head and need help.

Ooh, teletubby, that is a bit harsh! Her views are not nice but they are not uncommon, particularly among the older generation (no offence DP!).
I was raised by parents with similarly, err... unreconstructed views (homophobic, racist and, is there a word for Catholic-phobic?) and I am the loveliest, most tolerant liberal you could ever hope to meet

Has the theory that DP is a bot ever been advanced?

At the moment it's failing the Turing test quite spectacularly.

Well I meant every word and then some.

People who hold these sorts of views and perpetuate prejudice through their children don't make our world a better place.

She compared drinking a bottle of vodka every night to being in a loving relationship with someone of the same sex!

I hope her kids grow up to realise their mother is a complete looney-toon.

Does anyone else find it tedious the way these debates eventually become all about daftpunk and her looney views?

I think she gets off on the attention.

DP you are obsessed by sex. Is that how you define your relationship with your dh/p?

Presumably, no.

LG, I wouldn't assume anything about anyone's sexual orientation, partly because a good few people only realise where they are in this area as their lives develop, and partly because there's such a broad spectrum of sexual orientation that it's going to be pretty inaccurate a lot of the time to say whether you're gay or straight. And partly because I don't think it's any of my business and I consider speculation about anyone else's private life a bit distasteful. You can't tell just by looking at someone or observing mannerisms or whatever, and why would you want to? Unless you fancied someone and then I think they should tell you if they weren't interested, and why if they felt sexual orientation was relevant. Or if you introduced your DP and she was a woman, I would assume you were on the lesbian end of the spectrum; this would not be the same as coming out as an event without a social context. I would assume you wouldn't be particularly interested in knowing the sexual orientation of everyone you meet, maybe this isn't the case?

Kind of a sidetrack here, and just a rumination really.

So Darcey1,
did you or will you complain, or has this post given you a different point of view?

bonkers. Offensie, bigoted, brain-meltingly obtuse and the IQ of a potato. A boiled one.

Daft punk you are painful, but not surprising. I hope all your children enter gay partnerships ith black muslim egan liberals.

LG just curious, if your mum had been like DP how would you have handled that?

It seems to me that she's closed the door to her children being anything other than her view of what people should be, and where does that leave her children?

Amen.

sorry LG I didn't know that was the case, so didn't mean to put my foot in it and bring up painful memories.

Perhaps DP and the OP can see from your reply though that being so narrow minded won't improve your relationship with your children if they are, in fact, the thing you fear the most. All that protecting them when they are little only to cut them out later on......

And I would like to add that one of the disastrous consequences that can result from making it clear that LGBT children are not acceptable members of your family is the possibility that one of your children will lie or pretend to the point of marrying someone of the opposite sex, make that person's life completely miserable, and in fact make a mockery in some respects of the institution of marriage which many people of DP's ilk claim to support. Not to mention the psychological strain of trying to be something other than what you are for the LGBT individual. Not a good situation for the spouse, and not good for any children.

'Militant Homosexual Lobby'

I think I have that DVD.

You utter twat.

ahhh sweet, a buddy for daftpunk. Nemo, you're a dunce.

No no, medication is going down nicely thanks I might post you some, c/o Wankers R Us, it would calm you right down

Also, I love the 'if it was normal we'd all be doing it'. I could use that for just about anything.
