Faith schools should say homosexuality is normal..

[daftpunk]

Why can't people just leave us alone

DAftpunk, do you think homosexuality is abnormal?

And what's your favourite biscuit?

Oh daftpunk, you are such an unbelievable ignoramous....

YOUR VIEWS ARE NOT NORMAL, you are a hateful, predjudeced person ... how does that fit in with the catholic ethos? pretty fucking well actually

Do you think it's an 'abomination' DP.

You sound like that ignorant hate-filled oul hag who's in the press lately.

Another one here whose DC go/will go to a Catholic CHurch and who teaches them that Homosexuality is not wrong or unnatural.

IMO the local Church/school is trying slowly to be more accepting, which is such a good thing. Our school participated in Comic Relief/Children in Need as well.

If the RC church can raise the blinkers and adopt more accepting views can't see why you can't Op.

Do you go to Church, are your DC in Catholic schools?

DP, I for one am pretty sick of you spouting this crap, we are know your views so why not give it a rest eh? Of change your name to DaftPunkHatesPuffsaAndLezzers, Im sure that would get you lots of attention.

You are obviously homophobic and very vocal about it, perhaps we should consult MNHQ on their policy of people spouting hateful crap. Maybe its time you were banned?

Think Dis has a point. This kind of bile hurts people.

Disenchated3;

you don't have to read my posts.

why do you read them if they annoy you..?

This is a thread about something in the news...1000's of people will disagree with NC over this.

Actually,thinking back to my own Catholic education light years ago, we were taught (in Compulsory RE) about omosexuality/Abortion/Euthanasia and given the Church's views on them but were never told that they were "wrong", just encouraged to discuss and think about things more.

We were also taught about other faiths as well, again, these were not lambasted or shown as wrong.

This was 20 years ago.

Because I don't 'ignore' hatefulness, I fight it. Thats how you get rid of it.

Hmm I am coming around to the the banning idea

The fact is, this kind of invective is being stamped out in law

because it's wrong and it ruins people's lives and justifies hatred and violence

And these threads just upset people

what's your favourite biscuit Daftpunk?

op you are a loon
can't think of anything else to say

I have read posts on here calling the pope a homophobic idiot (infact, he was called alot worse than that)...do you think that is acceptable..?

Im a practicing catholic and my eldest attends a strict catholic college and middle son is at a 'good' catholic secondary - I have brought my children up with the theory that love is love and regardless of what other people may say - if there is mutual love then whoever shares that love is living Gods way,after all God is love.

answer my questions first!

specially the biscuit one!

I don't eat biscuits....

If someone behaves in a way which is homophobic, or makes homophobic statements, then it is acceptable for people to call them homphobic. Equally if they say/do things which make them look idiotic, then it's acceptble to call them an idiot.

Good point riven. I know stonewall reported some homophobic hate crime on their fb comment page recently.

Riven - I think the legal protection for racism/disablism doesn't extend to homophobia. Maybe one day.

(I could be wrong)

I'm not sure its fair to accuse DP of trolling in raising this, because it is the sort of news item which someone else might have raised anyway.

Riven...

This is about me (as a catholic) not agreeing with a politician on the issue of homosexuality being taught in faith schools....am I not allowed to disagrre with him..?

DP - you have the right to be a homophobic idiot if you want. You don't have the right to go into a school and teach children your views. You don't have the right to condone homophobic bullying in schools just because you believe homosexuality is in some way "abnormal". I for one would be happy to "leave you alone" if it was just your own opinion you were posting about here.

But you're posting about schools, and that means you are talking about how children are treated and taught, and that affects all of us, since those children will grow up and spout their views and hatred, if that's what they have been indoctrinated in.

So we (ie society in general) are not going to "leave you alone" on this one.
