Schools add LGBTQ to sex ed: Inclusive or overstep?

[Honu]

Pretty much. And, their behavior is between them and God, so long as they don't hurt or force anyone.

It is just as okay as any other deficiency or abnormality that people have. Aberration is defined as a deviation from the norm.

Matthew 7 much?

Edit: Let me flesh that out a bit.

Matthew 7:1-2 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

God judges perfectly. We judge through the filters of our experiences and biases. God doesn't.

I try to remind myself of this perspective in my interactions with the folks I meet, because I believe my greatest failing is being judgemental:

When a trout rising to a fly gets hooked and finds himself unable to swim about freely, he begins a fight which results in struggles and splashes and sometimes an escape.

In the same way, the human struggles with the hooks that catch him. Sometime he masters his difficulties; sometimes they are too much for him.

The struggles are all that the world sees, and it usually misunderstands them. It is hard for a free fish to understand what is happening to a hooked one. Karl A. Menninger, "The Human Mind"

Ironic that you are quoting that and yet you seem to be the one with a plank in the eye

I am guessing you are not a Christian because of those other replies and that quote and how you think it is ? you truly do not understand

well its a bit like hearing a lefty on the news say we need to ban those automatic bullet clips cause they can just spray out cartridges and kill people then put up his photo of a shotgun and call it a M16

if you think you are then you are mislead greatly and need to really study learn scripture and realize those other things you said above

snip of it

Many people have ripped this passage out of context, however. Jesus warns us not to assume God's prerogative to condemn the guilty; he is not warning us not to discern truth from error (see 7:15-23). Further, Jesus does not oppose offering correction, but only offering correction in the wrong spirit (v. 5; compare 18:15-17; Gal 6:1-5).

I am trying to do what is said in Galatians 6:
Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently.

this is my gentle nudge to you

You know, I have a theory. Homosexuality is a luxury beset by an overabundant population

If I had the Infinity Gauntlet (and boy do I wish I did) and snapped my fingers and reduced the world’s population back to 3.5 billion....

Boys liking girls and vice versa would not even be a question.

Per sex ed, it’s straight forward. Like was said from a biological point of view...I have no issue. Politicizing or moralizing it....huge issue.

A lot of young people who are blossoming don’t need the artificial and social pressure to do something that can radically and emotionally alter their lives.

The facts are that the more sexual partners you have....the more it blunts you. You aren’t James Bond. You aren’t worldly and it’s not cool or sexy. The fantasy is better than the reality because when you finally meet someone you like and you tell them your tally...that may be a huge turn off to what could have been something real.

I was once told “I cannot surrender to a man who will give me away once he gets bored. If he takes me, he owns me and all the responsibilities as well”

Well it's simple, marriage is a life long commitment that can and usually produces children to be loved.

So because my wife and I don't have children our marriage is an aberration?

[Gunfixr]

I read somewhere that being actually (as opposed to pshchologically, or, it's cool) homsexual is a wired in thing. It has been traced to a difference in the brain. This difference is caused by certain levels of stress on the mother during the first trimester, iirc. It does not always happen. Not everyone with this difference is homosexual, but every actual homosrxual did have it.
All this shows is that homosexuality is an aberration, and can be caused, and so therefore could be limited.
As to gender, there are two. Yes, occasionally, someone gets some of both, and sometimes one gender has characteristics of the other.
It should be noted that in the socialist/communist state, children of married couples are considered property of the state, as they were produced by licensed permission.

As for teaching the children, I think they should definitely be taught the basics of the human reproductive system, how it works.
Perhaps, a more "advanced" class, that went more into the basics of sex, the basic types, its risks, and what homosexuality is. This one requiring a sign off by parents.

Ideally, parents should be handling everything in the second class, and should be able to handle the first one. But, let's face it, how many parents are "too busy", or just too scared to handle it? This is not to mention that the children ARE going to learn about from TV, ads, the Internet, passing "info" back and forth.
Do you really want your kids to learn sex from Internet porn?

I'm sure my answer isn't perfect, but I doubt there is one. I'm not going into morality/religion.

Not an attack on you Gunfixr at all, just quoting you for reference. I don't get when people use this argument at all. Most people have 1 object. If by chance you have 2 different objects, it doesn't mean that you now have a 3rd object. You just have both objects.

I don't see how you made that connection with that quote.

[Dr. Bullseye]

Why does anyone think we or our kids want to know more about homosexuals of any flavor?

Knowledge is power. It is a good thing to be aware of current issues.

My trust that teaching LBGWHATEVER in school will be abused enormously by the individual teachers leanings, be they right/left/center.

Perhaps I’m simply a jaded old dufus, but my experience with young folks these days has been that it’s a minor miracle if they can add/subtract without a device and are doing well to read.

Maybe “they” should can worrying about currently fashionable, earth shatteringly important social issues and get back to some basics.

I read somewhere that we are killing our planet and its going to be over really soon

I read somewhere that we need to ban all guns

I read somewhere that all conservatives are nazis

I read somewhere that Russia helped Trump win the election

there is NO proof of what you wrote none 0 nada zip but it is created by the left to try to make you accept it and sadly some buy into the nonsense

but they like to write stuff like that and hope it sticks and hope folks repeat it so it comes true and they can then normalize or have an excuse for things and blame it on something else etc...

I wonder when the LGBTQBTTFCK community is going to have their great Sunni/Shia divide over weather being gay is a choice or biological programing. Hope they spend the next several centuries blowing up each others pride parades and BBQs
