if you are an atheist who supports homosexuality or not you should tell your children about them with an open mind, but if you are part a religion that condones homosexuality, it is your job to tell your kids that it is an issue and against your religious belief, that is my opinion. Side: Yes

Children can know about their existence, for knowing their existence can do no harm to them, it should be made clear that being heterosexual or homosexual is completely their opinion, and it's not wrong to have their own personal views on it. In my opinion, it should be made clear that it is normal to be homosexual, just as normal as being heterosexual. However, I do think that such matters should only be brought up when the child is mature enough to think and understand such issues. Side: Yes

I believe that is is anyone's choice to be gay or not and that children should be informed of this possibility as to not possibly confuse them in this matter, if they were to be gay and not be told that it was even possible, they may believe that something was wrong with them and they may suppress these feelings which would be damaging for them and be very unhealthy for their emotional and social health and interaction, and so with the child's best interests at heart I believe that I support this view Side: Yes

Why the hell not? Even if your family doesn't agree with gay marriage/lifestyle, it's good to teach kids that if someone is different than them, you still treat them like a human. I, for one, don't believe in the schools that are now putting in a curriculum that emphasizes "Gay history" and things of that nature, but it's completely reasonable for parents to say, "Hey, gay people exist. Don't be a dick to them because they're different from you." Side: Yes
Yes. Considering that NO ONE can honestly say that the Bible is the actual "Word of God", that it isn't the compiling of ancient thoughts of MEN who lacked the knowledge we have today, who believed what THEY considered "evil" in their day was exactly that. Children of today should know what others have LEARNED, NOT what has been spread as mythology for centuries. If we went strictly by the Bible, we would be no better than the radical Muslims that go strictly by the Qur'an! Humanity has learned that we can't do that, so we don't, again, except for a few radicals of Christianity that eventually get caught for being a bit too "Biblical", and consider the Constitution "secondary" to "God's Word"! The Philippines, Venezuela, Mexico, the Caribbean Islands, Florida ... all places with a preponderance of very religious people, more so than most of the U.S. and much of the world .... suffering in the extreme! mythology isn't helping them much, the things we've LEARNED will be of much more help, medically, mechanically, and socially. Same with the "evil" of homosexuality ... "most of us" have "LEARNED. Side: Yes

I stopped reading when your entire bigotted response was acting like this is only Christians who have a problem with Homosexuality. Newsflash..... many people who are not Christians also understand the natural normal design of our bodies. It's a matter of biology explaining how our bodies are designed and how sex is suppose to be. Activist gays and the Leftwing Liberal political correctness has turned science upside down to try and sanction unnatural sexual orientations as being natural. They are not and never will be, no matter how many extremists come along and try to twist the natural order to life. Side: No
The QUESTION, the DEBATE, was ABOUT Christianity! I, if you had continued reading, brought Islam into it .... AND Catholicism ... which many do not consider "Christian" even though Christ is their main point of worship! (Strange!) "The left wing liberal political correctness" is NOT a "political" thing at all, it is a HUMANE thing based on that "science" you say we have turned "upside down"! We have NOT! We've taken what science has proven beyond anything but a radical Christian DOUBT, and chosen to accept those with that NATURAL orientation ... "the NATURAL order of life" as SCIENCE sees it, not necessarily religious correctness as some "extremists" see it. Side: Yes

Hello A: I don't think you should talk about sex to anybody's children except your own. Look... If I, as a parent, found out that a homosexual was talking to my young son about homosexuality, I'd think he's GROOMING him. When confronted, I'd EXPECT him to say he was only teaching.. It's a DANGEROUS road to go down.. I have NO idea why you'd wanna risk real TROUBLE.. excon Side: No
http://www.createdebate.com/debate/show/ Oh really now ? I have been on-and-off in a homosexual relationship for the last few years. A few years ago I was an au pair and I went to visit them recently. The kid I used to look after was asking me when I am going to get married and how many girlfriends I've had. After a lot of pestering I eventually just said "maybe I will just marry [the name of the guy I've had relations with]". Would you habe done the same? What is the appropriate age? Denying what you wrote are you ! Then you deny never to have spoken about sex with a child ? Tad bit confused you are ! Side: Yes

You are deceptive as always. The other argument you created spoke to YOU talking to other's chldren about you being Gay. Now you are changing the topic to try and say that the debates were about their existence never being mentioned to children. Sometimes parents are forced to speak to their children about homosexuality when the child hears about it from TV, kids at school, etc. You on the other hand are an arrogant fool if you think you have the right to talk to my kids about Homosexuality.

Children are not thought about any type of sex on sunday schools. There are special topics for children and there are no sex topics. Even bible quotation to be read are written for them on paper slips to take home so they recite it off head the following week. Even if they graduate to a matured service type, they will hear of gay in sodom and gomorrah and it's gruesome repurcussion of an entire city destroyed with fire to explicitly show God's special hate for gay and His disgust in it. This topic is however rare. It may appear not more than 4times in an entire year of several sunday, and other days services. There are bible discussion leaders in church to whom gay bible passages may be put before for proper interpretation It isn't inappropriate for a child to know there are drug addicts, gamblers, sick people such as some people called gays and God so bitterly hates the act that he is willing comprise the human victim's(of sickness beyond ebola) life along with the disease to go down the drain even if the last and only method is by death. What is inappropriate is to tell a kid about the sickness also tell them there is nothing wrong with and it's cool. These groups suffer the same amount of mental illness: Xenomelia, Homosex, pedophilia. But as usual every mad man still thinks he is normal per the principles of his abnormal mental state. Go to the assylum and see how many crazy people think they are even intelligent than you...... Side: No
