Neither does anyone else

Parm is obsessed with that discord server that’s why I called you parm. I think you may of seen it as a gotcha but failed.

You might not be a middle age man but you debate like one

And if a child is uncomfortable talking to their parents or guardians about those things for whatever reason, whether it be abuse, or bigotry, then teachers and councillors they feel comfortable with are the next best options, if you don’t want them to be able to do that, then yes, you most certainly do want them to suffer in silence

All you've done is talk to me like trash .

Saying I debate " like a middle aged man " ...is ridiculous lol . I don't agree with you , therefore you spit your dummy out .

Talk to you like trash? Calling you up on your ignorance isn’t talking to you like trash. I don’t agree with anything you say because it’s wrong and very damaging.

he isnt

can you back up that wayward statement??

i

Didn’t he make a thread about discord like three days ago :skull:

No-one on this thread’s being right-wing, not even LeatherTrumpet. It’s more a case of not thinking a 4-year-old should have to take part in an LGBT parade if they don’t want to or their parents would rather they didn’t. 4-year-olds don’t need to know about any of that stuff.

did he?

apols if i missed this

but making one thread?

Again it’s not the not wanting her child to attend the parade it’s the reasons for her not wanting her child to. She’s been on tv with her backwards opinions about homosexuality. That’s the issue here

It’s not even about religion so much as it is overall culture. I’m not here to say whether it’s right or wrong but if you know anything about the different shades of black culture beyond Brian Belo-type figures you’d know and even straight-up acknowledge here how different the experience is and you’d be allowed. Under a colour-blind illusion we like to pretend that we’re all exactly the same and have exactly the same values but we don’t and we’re not. And to tell you the truth black kids don’t need your sympathy (unless they align much more with the gay side of things and their parents wouldn’t or don’t like it). They just need you to put things into context and stop applying the same cultural standards that you would to your average contemporary English family with people who migrated from Montego Bay, Ilorin, Umuahia and Sudan. Unique cultural values are values and they can’t be forced to change.

I’m not trying to fall out with you, Glenn (I respect you and stuff), but at the end of the day these kids are eating jollof rice, plantain porridge and oxtail curry whereas you likely grew up on mushy peas, fish fingers and black pudding more than anything else. They do not need copious amounts of sympathy from you just for having parents who disagree with homosexuality.

You may not think it’s very politically correct and colour-blind (what we being colour-blind for in the first place?) to be saying all this, Glenn, but it’s the truth and you should know it.

You’re talking about Catholic churches. Many kids find comfort in Assemblies of God and St Stephen’s and Sunday-school (and it’s not like St Stephen’s hasn’t christened some of the best people and most adorable babies) so you’re going to have to vex for Virgin Mary alone.

To ignore this womans cultural christianity and judge her through a UK lens is very harsh. sorry but im with Redway here.

Thank you.

:clap1:

It’s a bit like forcing a Jewish kid to sit through a triggering anti-Semitic recount of the Holocaust as part of a history lesson just to make everyone aware that different opinions exist. Sorry but … yeah, no.

Exactly
The way I see it .... nobody should be forced to do any of this. And it's more absurd it's being pushed for a child as young as 4 years old !.

The only things that SHOULD be COMPULSORY in school is grammar & learning how to read etc .

Teaching kids about human differences is like forcing a Jewish kid to hear antisemitism is a wild comparison, even for you

This forum is ****ing mad at time I swear

Can you think of ways to teach about differences which don't include parades or drag?

View youtubekids and you'll see what I'm talking about.

What’s ‘even for me’ supposed to mean?

They can't debate without throwing insults at members on here .

No, what’s that supposed to mean, Liam?
