I think it is a beautiful idea with a cute message, but, I mean, it should have been optional from the outset tbh... you can’t force people into feeling proud, almost defeats the point.

The ‘protesting’ parents are probably massive *****. Who would protest an event designed to make children feel proud lol. They literally sound ****ing awful.

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.

I honestly don't see how it's inappropriate for 5-6 year olds to learn that people of the same gender can fall in when they're already more than aware at that age that boys and girls fall in love. Leaving it as something to discuss in teenage years just makes it a taboo subject when it doesn't need to be.

Pride is not a primary school message. It's an adult message and has no place in a primary school

When you’re a parent and actually have some knowledge on being one maybe then you will be qualified enough to slag parents off like that.

Guess what? Having a kid doesn't
A) Make you smarter than everyone else
B) Give you the right to voice bigoted opinions
C) Make you the the most intelligent person in a room

People with kids always go "When you're a parent" popping out a sprog and raising it lets you see the world differently, sure, but it doesn't make you special.

Judging by the previous picture it looked unsuitable for that age group. Besides the headmistress should have run it past the parents first. They are their children - not hers.

Matthew. · 02-07-2018, 07:44 PM

it’s 2018, how can people be so homophobic as to still think like this

The previous picture has nothing to do with this event, that was LT baiting you... you took the bait and ran with it. Come run back, leave the irrelevant picture behind, we can discuss the actual topic if you want

The picture used previously in the OP was picked by LT and not representative of the school's intended event.

It may seem too adult for you to get your small mind around but it's really not that deep

Being proud of yourself is something children shouldn't be taught from a young age?

Bloody hell I am going to be a **** mum, I will teach my kids from the time they can understand me that they should be proud of who they are no matter what.

Yep, I guess I don't understand the mystical magic that parents get that makes them the authority on everything from vaccines to pride

And you can't make a point without a forum member insult?

Withano · 02-07-2018, 07:48 PM

Can we just stop going there as if its a zinger to put down an argument, not just here, everywhere

We dont need to be LGBT, a headmistress, a parent, or a child to discuss the people featured in this article.

Correct

You need a tougher skin to be a parent

But this was a pride event -not a few lessons.

An event like this may have confused youngsters.. You see homosexuals everyday around us... It's not like they're being ushered away when a parent sees homosexuals kissing. I would support this if it were a few lessons... Not an event.

I was 9 when my dad revealed to me and my brother he was gay, and we both understood it, without any questions, and we knew we loved him just as much as we always did. From that I learned to be on the side of LGBT people, it helped me understand the struggles they endured, and still endure to this day. You know what I didn't get when I was 9? I didn't understand how someone could hate my dad because of who he loves. Pride is just about understanding, learning and celebrating people from all walks of life. I'm 27 now and I still don't understand why some people are still so scared of LGBT people.
