If you are a Christian and believe Homosexuality is sin, isn't it a parents duty to keep a child away from a consistant homosexual influence? example would be a teacher in a public school that is open about being homosexual and has your child in their class on a daily basis.

Wasn't it Jesus who said "hate the sin, love the sinner."?
Exactly what Christian values are you teaching your children with that behaviour?

It all depends upon the age of the child and what the parent teaches the child. While it is certainly wise to keep a child from propaganda that normalizes and promotes sinful lifestyles if a child is old enough to understand what the parents will teach them from the Bible they could go to school and be praying that a homosexual teacher will be delivered from his or her sins. If a child is too young to understand about sex then it might not be apparent to the child what a teacher's sexual orientation is. Basically it is up to parents to teach their children what God says is right and wrong along with all of the other lessons a child needs to learn so that they can come to faith in Jesus at an early age. That way they will have a firm foundation upon which to stand against all of the ungodly ways that the world system seeks to promote, not just homosexuality.

No it is not wrong. However, it is hard to do. Some homosexuals aren't as open as others. If you know someone is openly homosexual, then by all means keep your children away from it. If a teacher at your child's school is openly homosexual, then, if possible, go to the principle and demand they change classes with your child.
If that doen't work, then you can put your child in another school or even home school. Or you could put him/her in a private school.

I would have to say that at this time in your life, it would be probably safer to stay in the closet. I know teens can be very mean when it comes to acceptance in a peer group. Coming out of the closet can even lead to assault. I personally believe that if you are gay or straight, it doesn't matter and you should be able to express that however you want (without infringing on anybody else's rights; don't go firebombing churches because they are against homosexuality). The reality however is that there are always going to be a set of the population who are anti-gay to an extreme, and willing to infringe on your rights to that extreme. Stay safe and good luck.

I think I would not want my child getting involved in that, but you any hide it. I care for it, let alone support it. But me, as an old fashion kind of gal, I know to go with the natural male and female. (as I always say, if two guys like each other, then Why do they need a feminine female figure? Ditto for girls.) but no, I don't want my child to be around it because it's influential. They hear it all over ad they think, hey, I'll be gay or whatever! I've met 8 people who say theyre gay and you ask them why... "I don't really know, it just feels right."

Yes, I believe it would be wrong to keep children away from homosexuals. They are people, too. However, I do not believe that any teacher in any school, hertosexual or homosexual should should put on a sexual public display. Neither hertos or homos should do a deep soul kiss or take about their sex life in public. What you do in your own home is your business.

I have some friends who are gay or lesbian. I'm not this way. The only thing i think is wrong, is when schools teach children about homosexual relationships like they are normal.
If you believe in the Bible, then you know that we are living in the days of Noah, or Sodom and Gomorah. But you also know that it is not our place to judge people based on the sexual orientation.
If you believe in evolution, well, i would like to see how people will evolve if every one keeps turning gay.

NO it is not wrong to keep children away from homosexuals. Why on earth would you feel you even had to ask such a question?? I would not have my child in a school if a teacher was a homosexual and wasn't even my child's teacher.

Parents should always take proper measures to protect thier children. Thats not to say they cant get out though like one guy said suggesting they stay in their rooms. Remember that we are to be in the world but not of the world. Also it was made perfectly clear not to do anything that would lead your brother to stumble. So for me, if my child had an openly gay teacher, then he/ or she would no lnger be being taught by that teacher if I had other options. BTW, I had a gay teacher my senior year of high school and requested another teacher. I got it too and there was no problem. That teacher inderstood.

It is your every right to protect your kids. If you feel strongly about this issue then it is your right to send your kids to anyone you want. Teachers are not aloud to discuss these issues with kids so in the end it really doesn't matter. The truth is it is hard to raise religious children in America.
