Probably :notimpressed:

So would people rather that kids never know that homosexuality exists until they're at secondary school? Pretend that gay people are not a part of society? School is meant to teach kids about the world around them and making them aware of the lgbt community is a part of that and the pride aspect conveys a positive message so that they won't then find it weird or uncomfortable when they get older

Whether I do or not has no bearing on the fact that it's now a widely-used term within the LGBT umbrella, be it academia, popular culture (Queer Eye says hello) or otherwise, and anyone who doesn't think so is still living in the Thatcher era

I've been busted. That's my life over.

i don't believe you have a life hunty

Right so because one or two uneducated parents don't want it to happen that means none can attend?

If my son's school did this I would proudly attend. He does know about LGBT issues as I have gay friends and their relationships are as normal to him as any. He doesn't think of it in a sexual way obviously, just that Paul and Chris love each other are together like Vickie and Rob. No big deal.

If all kids were the same then homophobia would slowly diminish and we can all live our own lives without worrying about who is with who regardless of gender

:clap2:

:clap1:

That's true, but nobody cares about me and the problems in my life, I just have to get on with it. They certainly don't invite me into primary schools to put on an event promoting proud to be straight.

Homophobes won, I guess?

Disgusting parents.

What's the background of the parents? London's a very diverse city, lot's of religious people in London.

Congratulations on 'getting on' with your life. If only the bigoted parents had done the same instead of ensuring that the majority of others missed out on such a progressive and well-meaning event.

I question the need for it. The problem i see with it at a primary school age is that it is highlighting that there are different groups where really they shouldn't give a crap. The focus should be on everything is normal, not, certain groups need a special event.

Congrats on missing the point of pride entirely

2 slurs on people you don't know

I love pc

I've removed the misleading picture from the original post.

:thumbs:

So cos a few dinosaurs get to moan it ruins it for everyone? Despicable :rolleyes:

i have to say that those who did not want this to happen, well it says a lot about them doesn’t it

How tragic

i never understand how people can make the 'shoving LGBT down our throats' argument but claim they aren't homophobes :skull:

I think secondary school would be a more appropriate place for it tbh rather than primary.
It’s up to parents when they talk to their kids about LGBTQRSTUV stuff.It’s taking the choice away from them.
Atleast by secondary age everyone will know about these things.5-6 year olds may not.

Although i’d guess that it wasn’t compulsory so anyone who wanted to go could and those who didn’t can just not go.

homosexuality shouldn't be treated as adult content though so it shouldn't matter if it was at a secondary or primary school

because those people are dickheads :hee:
