I am shocked to the core and Horrified that under the banner "No Outsiders" Children as young as Four are being subjected to Pro- Homosexual propaganda in our Primary schools for gods sake. What absolute wickedness has overcome the leaders of our society. I used to be liberal and say & do nothing about Homosexuals, still don't particularly hate them for their behaviour as they probably can't help to whom they are sexually attracted to as I know I can't. But to promote to Four year olds that a homosexual lifestyle is as healthy and acceptable as a normal Hetrosexual one is pure and utter lunacy. This even extends apparently to changing fairy tales so that Princes reject princesses for gay Marriages.
Homosexuality is a sexual prefference - Not a lifestyle to be taught in primary schools.

I agree with you. why does a 4 yr old child need to learn that. Maybe it isnt a choice to be homosexual, but it truly isnt the way things are supposed to be. Why is everyone pretending that it is? A child who has no knowledge of homosexuality could interpret that as a choice. if they are being taught it is the norm. People may think I am ignorant, but I do think that rules are changed according to what the people at the top want to be able to do in their own lives.i.e homosexual priests, theres too much hypocrisy in the world. That is so wrong, I cant believe it.

My son is gay and I would like people to accept him as a person rather than because of (or despite) his sexuality. The sad fact is that, even though he is only 17, he has already suffered homophobic bullying and discrimination because of his sexuality.
If you think about it, heterosexuality is taken for granted - the princess marries her prince, the old lady in the shoe has loads of kids (where is the father?!). Whether we like it or not, homosexual people still suffer discrimination, which is largely based on ignorance. Therefore, I welcome anything that promotes understanding and acceptance.
Of course, in some people's minds there is a line to be drawn between teaching acceptance of and "promoting" homosexuality. I think there is another debate to be had here. The notion that sexuality can be "promoted" logically infers that one can choose one's sexuality. This is absurd. My son did not "choose" to be homosexual any more than I chose to be heterosexual.
This aside, we need to think about how these stories are handled by teachers. By telling a story where, for example, the prince lives happily ever after with the male woodcutter in the forest, I would hope (and I am fairly sure) that teachers are simply telling the story without comment. If a child were to ask why two men lived together, for me an acceptable response would be, "Some men love each other so much that they like to live together" - exactly the same sort of answer as would be given if a child asked why the prince and princess go and live together in a castle.

It's not a case of being pro-homosexual as much as guarding against anti-homosexual attitudes of the kind you are displaying here - you use terms like 'wickedness' when what we are talking about is an alternative, but equally natural, sexual orientation.
Just for the record, I'm heterosexual, but I am all for any initiative that will result in a generation growing up free of the outdated hang-ups you seem to be plagued with!

I don't understand your logic, so please be more elaborate. When homosexuality is not discussed people do it to be rebels against their parents. When it is openly discussed it is thought to influence kids to go to the "gay side" because it is seen as a valid alternative. If they are going to become gay either way, as this type of logic states, then why should they be ashamed of who they are?
I am thrilled that kids are learning about tolerance and that not everyone likes the same things and that is okay. Teachers are not saying be gay or else, they are saying straight and gay are both fine, be who you are and be happy not only about who you are but be happy for others and let them do what makes them happy.

I agree with the person who said keep your kids at home. We homeschool and have found it's the best way to give our kids a well rounded education and not subject to just one opinion. Our kids have all kinds of friends, all races, all orientations and it's much healthier for them and are allowed free and independent thinking.

Your question brought to light a program I was unaware of - so I clicked on their link and read about the program. How wonderful! I wish we had a similar program here in the U.S. that addressed the issues of bullying and same-sex partners. It's absolutely fabulous!

If it's a sexual preference, and homosexuals can't help to whom they are attracted, then it would not be possible to 'promote' it, surely ?
Perhaps you have been reading the more lurid headlines in the newspapers - this is an easy issue to misrepresent.

Homosexuals are born homosexual. It is neither a preference nor an orientation, nor a lifestyle. Check the definitions.
Keep your kids at home if you have trouble with your School District.
Thanks for visiting LGBT.

Well I don't think they should talk about anything relationship type for that matter if they are only 4 they don't understand. I think it should be taught in health class around 8th grade. I am not against gay or lesbians but I dont' want my child at that age to be subjected to that just yet. I would want them to know of it and understand, it is considered and ulternate lifestyle. I don't even want my child to know about regular relationships at that age. I just want them to know about there friggen ABC's for crying out loud.

and neither is advice on how to do drugs..but they teach that..talk to frank, he's got some great ways to get stoned...
and stop being so homophobic... attraction exists in all forms shapes and cultures... who are you to decide what is and what isnt correct...
and the wickedness is merely a policy of political correctness... which causes more grief than it ever was hoped...
