Or not..

Maybe they are just firm Christian believers who think that its wrong.

Homphobia would be homophobic acts.. Not believing in your religion

yeah but that’s just extreme Christians nowadays, and might i add, this is most likely the older generation that are more likely to have this view, as opposed to parents of primary school children

That's not really fair now is it , i always see this homophobia argument and it's tiresome . I see pride parades as being something for for older people and adults .

Maybe these parent's just don't want their kids to be apart of this type of thing YET , it doesn't mean they're prejudice gosh !.

No, it just means they're too immature to explain real world issues to their children and want to pass the buck.

but if they do not, then their kids are more likely to grow up thinking that it is something to use as an insult

And racism still exists. Something you cannot CHANGE.

You cannot change your skin colour. You cannot change which country you are from. You can change being LGBT though.

There is probably more racism than homophobia. Thisis why this should cone first

But if an event like this stopped one child from developing feelings of confusion, self loathing and thinking they are abnormal then surely th at is a massive plus? A friend of mine has a daughter who is 9 and thinks she is a boy, she is currently being assessed by the CAMHS as she has already self harmed due to confusion. Had she been exposed to the LBGT community she may have not resorted to that. Her parents have a big responsibility in this too not just schools but I believe in today's society, kids should be exposed to everything possible to help them grow

I think you're making assumptions ok they'll be some that might not talk about it , but how do you know these parent's haven't talked about the LGBT community with their kids? , and nowadays parent's probably don't feel the need to explain as everything is plastered on TV these days . Even Youtube has videos about it .

but it’s a fact of life that the LGBT community exists and we should embrace that surely?
