So the muslim parents didn't want this teacher (who is gay) teaching their children in case he infects them with homosexuality.

This is so blantantly homophobic I can't believe any school would agree to it.

In fact if the parents insisted on this I would have all their children expelled immediately. The parents must set a better example than this to their children.

In Britain in the 21st century it is not an offense to be a gay teacher or gay anything for that matter.

Sure
but some bible parents
have a view that the state can not control them.

There's nothing wrong with being a gay teacher. At my primary school the head teacher was a lesbian, and she was married to the deputy head.

Yes but he was a Male
bible folk hate gay males

[Crimson Dynamo]

gay male primary school teacher?

i would chose another job

[the truth]

Yes but he was a Male

no they dont. but sadly many gay people hate Christians

My RE teacher at a Catholic school was gay and nobody cared. :laugh:

[the truth]

My RE teacher at a Catholic school was gay and nobody cared. :laugh:

lovely to know he wasnt discriminated against for being Catholic

[Marsh.]

lovely to know he wasnt discriminated against for being Catholic

He wasn't a Catholic.

[the truth]

He wasn't a Catholic.

what religion was he?

[Vicky.]

--

Too young? Surely learn about this earlier and they are less likely to question it when older? What do people want..for the kids to get to 14 year old and suddenly be told that being gay is something that happens sometimes..way to confuse the kid.

[Marsh.]

what religion was he?

I don't think he belonged to any religion.

[the truth]

My RE teacher at a Catholic school was gay and nobody cared. :laugh:
re = religious education right?

[Marsh.]

re = religious education right?

Yes?

[the truth]

Yes?

so youre religious education teacher wasnt religious ?

[Vicky.]

so youre religious education teacher wasnt religious ?

Mine wasnt either..I think its better that way to be honest, as that way they arent biased in their teachings about other religions.

[the truth]

Mine wasnt either..I think its better that way to be honest, as that way they arent biased in their teachings about other religions.
because a religious person isnt capable of being unbiased??

[Vicky.]

because a religious person isnt capable of being unbiased??

Of course they are, its just more likely that if you are a devout buddhist for example, you are going to focus more on buddhism than anything else..and be slightly biased in your teachings of other religions that you disagree with. If you have no religion, then its not going to happen :shrug:

[Marsh.]

so youre religious education teacher wasnt religious ?

No. What's so strange about that?

I think he believed in a God but didn't follow organised religions.

[Kizzy]

I don't remember that the sexuality of teachers was any of anyones concern when I was at school... God I feel sorry for teachers now, they have to be totally sexless and joyless individuals it seems.

[Marsh.]

:laugh: I know, it's ridiculous.

They have to stay at home marking books when they're not as school.

[the truth]

it was the promotion of gayness that seems to have irked the parents.

not necessarily. that's like saying the gay teacher will be biased towards the gay kids.

[the truth]

No. What's so strange about that?

I think he believed in a God but didn't follow organised religions.

It is strange. to teach RE , especially in a Catholic school and not follow a particular religion or be brought up with any particular religion? please tell me more about this mysterious gay non religious , religious teacher, how did you know he wasn't religious and didn't belong to any particular faith? what did he say exactly?

[Kizzy]

it was the promotion of gayness that seems to have irked the parents.

He didn't promote being gay that suggests that it's an informed choice..... sexuality doesn't work like that.

[Kyle]

not necessarily. that's like saying the gay teacher will be biased towards the gay kids.

No it's not. Your religion teaches you that you are right and everybody who doesn't follow the same religion as you is wrong. Your sexuality doesn't require you to believe all other sexualities to be wrong.

[Vicky.]

not necessarily. that's like saying the gay teacher will be biased towards the gay kids.

Not really, but I see where this is heading so I am done here :p

[the truth]

No it's not. Your religion teaches you that you are right and everybody who doesn't follow the same religion as you is wrong. Your sexuality doesn't require you to believe all other sexualities to be wrong.

no it doesn't. there are also many religions and many interpretations, there are also all sorts of other variables like agnostics, so youre wrong and quite ignorant in your labelling and pigeon holing of all believers in God.

[the truth]

He didn't promote being gay that suggests that it's an informed choice..... sexuality doesn't work like that.

who are you to say how sexuality works for the millions of gay people?

[Kyle]

no it doesn't. there are also many religions and many interpretations, there are also all sorts of other variables like agnostics, so youre wrong and quite ignorant in your labelling and pigeon holing of all believers in God.

Reported for accusations of insincerity.

[Kizzy]

who are you to say how sexuality works for the millions of gay people?

Millions of 'people' being gay isn't a choice... A teacher at school didn't influence my decision, or yours, as I said it doesn't work like that does it?

[the truth]

Millions of 'people' being gay isn't a choice... A teacher at school didn't influence my decision, or yours, as I said it doesn't work like that does it?

Im talking about whether the teacher was religious? youre on a totally different wavelength , bets not to interrupt in other peoples chats.
maybe being religious isn't a choice?

[Kizzy]

who are you to say how sexuality works for the millions of gay people?

We were discussing sexuality, please don't tell me where to post.

[the truth]

We were discussing sexuality, please don't tell me where to post.

I didn't?

[Kizzy]

'Im talking about whether the teacher was religious? youre on a totally different wavelength , bets not to interrupt in other peoples chats.'

Hard to have a one to one chat on a public forum.

that was advice. I didn't realise your ego was so fragile. you interrupted and got the wrong end of the stick.

[Kizzy]

I don't need your advice thankyou, so tell me more about how sexuality is a choice based issue?... That's rather a bold claim there.

ask Jessie j and millions of others........some people change even if you and your radical liberal friends are too narrow minded and wont allow them to do so

[Kizzy]

ask Jessie j and millions of others........some people change even if you and your radical liberal friends are too narrow minded and wont allow them to do so

So because Jessie j sugests her bisexuality not homosexuality was a phase 'millions' of gays are living a lie... Is that what you're saying?

Liberals don't force homosexuality on people.

[Marsh.]

Kizzy :fist: Stop making people gay!

[the truth]

Kizzy :fist: Stop making people gay!

marsh stop labelling people its soooo narrow minded, live and let live. if a person wants to be gay or straight you have no right to stop them or mock them for it:nono:

Down with gays!!!

"I did come out at school in an assembly after a group of 11-year-olds held up a poster they made, with the heading “Gay is good”. It seemed like the right time to let the children know that they knew a gay person.

:conf: Okay.

He was open about not going to church or anything. It's not compulsory and no, it's not strange.

RE isn't about telling kids to believe the bible and go to church.
