...lovely.....

Ikr? It's lovely to think that the next generation is going to be raised with such positive portrayals of gay relationships and how normalised they will probably be to it all.

The best way to to end homophobia is to raise the children and teach them that it's no different to any other kind of love.

this! people don’t realize that kids literally DON’T care about sexuality (along with race/gender/etc.) at all

it’s how they’re raised in today’s society

Hatred is ultimately learned behaviour, raise a child in an environment where being gay isn't seen as something different to hate and they won't have any issues with it.

Hence you wanting to shove it does the throats of others peoples’ children at such a young age. Ripe for the picking hey!

Parent power I say. Parenthood, young children and associated issues like this are like anything else and people discussing such issues need to be coming from a position of actual experience.

Where did all that hate for Trump, May, Mogg etc come from I wonder - as if anyone is so pure and innocent - definitely not those on the Left

...I don’t understand though, Brillo...it’s not ‘shoving’ anything...to say that people love each other..(..in a romantic love...)...is a fact, which is conveyed to children from birth in so many ways...to say that ...for instance...here are two males and they love each other is conveying a fact...as well as two females...those are all facts...so it’s just teaching a child love...(..in TV series for instance...)...which is often done anyway in stories and has always been done...prince meets princess for instance and then at the end of the story they live happily ever after because they fall in love...it’s not always a prince and princess though is it...?...sometimes it’s two princes and sometimes it would be two princesses...that’s just informing children of life and of love and of reality...it’s not shoving anything or taking away any innocence because nothing sexual is involved any more than it is now in things like ‘falling in love and getting married’ Disney movies and the like...


...if we withhold facts from children, if we make them taboo to be shown...?...then what happens if that child is homosexual and they grow up feeling that homosexual is something bad and something wrong....something ‘not normal’...that has to change from past mindsets and society judgements and prejudices...and TV, movies, books etc are good place to begin I feel....

Many parents don’t though. Secondary school fine - toddlers and young children not so fine. Let children be children and keep their innocence for a few years before they learn about grown-up stuff. It’s preciously short as it is.

Look how gay rights have come on - that’s because most young people are ok with it today. Why do we need to push it on to such young children - they will get the message at secondary school. Sorry Ammi I simply see no need for it.

...I genuinely don’t understand what love has to do with innocence though, Brillo...what other message will a child get from being shown love, than love...?...many, many pre school children are shown Disney movies and many of those movies portray love...isn’t that the only message here that a child is being given..?...then is nothing else to it...to only show love between a male and a female ‘as the thing’ is surely lying to a child or concealing some truth from them, filtering the truth...perpetrating falsehoods..?...
