Should gay marriage be taught in school to children?

I didnt even realise marriage in general was taught at school :S

If this means should children be taught that sometimes 2 men or 2 women get married, then yeah...why not.

MTVN 03-07-2011 09:37 PM
Taught in what sense? If it's just to tell people that it's acceptable then yes

In the sense of saying that Two Men or two Women can love each other and be happy then yes, I say teach them =).

:S Don't see any harm in it tbh

Equality should be taught to children.

We didn't have to "teach children" when we made interracial marriage legal, so why would we have to teach gay marriage? Love comes naturally, no teaching required.

This history of the gay rights movement should be taught though. Just like children are taught about how interracial marriage was illegal, and about the civil rights movement, the same approach should be taken with gay rights.

Teach about the history and the struggle.

It should be taught in history class, not health/sex ed classes.

I think marriage is touched within RE/PSHE, so gay marriage can be mentioned along side.. its not really important espicially to children though.

RE at secondary school covers it, and Sociology even further if you take it.

joeysteele 03-07-2011 11:04 PM
In later years at school the various types of all marriages allowed in the UK should maybe be made known, in the sense that it is legal and is fully accepted, so yes.

I'm not sure if 'sick' is the best word because it would be the desire and inclination to pervert children's minds. a 'Sickness'.
But actually doing it. planning it and carrying it out is really evil.

Of course, children don't need to know these things until they are older. At which time, naturally, they will think same-sex mock-marriages are revolting and actually want to make them physically vomit at even the thought,
but,
as children this is not a concern to them, is more than they need to handle and besides that they need reading, writing and maths.
Not left-wing anti-christian anti-family social perversion hate manipulation experiments.
do you feel the same way about interracial marriages?

Is it sick to inform the white students that they might possibly fall in love with *gasp* a BLACK person? *shock horror*

You're an idiot. Judging all "yanks" based on this video would be like Americans judging all "limeys" based on a video from the BNP.

We don't teach kids in school about heterosexual marriage so why in the world would we teach them about gay marriage? Gay marriage isn't even legal in the UK. You can have a civil partnership, but that's not the same thing. As far as I can see teachers have a difficult enough job teaching kids to be literate and numerate without wasting half the day talking about marriage, gay or otherwise.

Well as Jords mentioned marriage is indeed taught, or at the very least touched upon, at varying stages of the syllabus so it's not that unreasonable to think that this could be extended to include gay marriage. Noone's saying it should replace maths or english lessons, but a little bit of time spent in RE or PSHE would do no harm.

Can you explain how it's different? Taking away the religious aspect, legally it is the same.

I think a union between two people of both genders should be discussed/included in school as part of a sexuality/personal relationships education.

MTVN 04-07-2011 01:08 PM
And I've just watched that video and it's such a shameless piece of propaganda by the Religious Right, it's actually pissed me off. It's so stereotypical Tea Party that it could have been satire, I mean listen to the music they're playing in the background and the way they show the happy heterosexual, religious family bouncing a ball and walking through the woods together, and then comes the crocodile tears from the mother :bored:

I've not read such breathtakingly bigoted and hateful comments like that in a long time. Congratulations.

It could almost be a 'Little Britain USA' sketch.
