RE: I'm sure Correct about the daughter being lovely(must be the mothers side ) trust me ! But i was referring to the crap in the world in general, not about being gay. That was just the subject for discussion that i was hoping to avoid with her for a few years yet, and yes, i would not find that an easy discussion tbh.</p>
I always get suspicious.. ...when people say things like "And by the way, she isnt spolit, but still nice and innocent. You get the drift yet?" You might as well shout "I didn't burn them".
RE: I always get suspicious.. If you get suspiscious, thats your problem. But dont be suspiscious of what i post, it is factual, and you dont know the first thing about me. </p> So just what exactly are you suspiscious of??</p>
"daddy why are that man and woman holding hands?" "because they're in love darling" "daddy why are those two men holding hands?" "because they're in love darling" Why is the first conversation fine to have at a young age but the second one not?
RE: Why???? I have to agree with Shaftn Red and this opinion is not bigoted or homophobic although this seems to be lost on the PC brigade who find offence in everything. They're gay, so what? They bang on about being accepted yet they still have to have their special days - gay fecking pride marches which IMO totally contradicts their message. I know gay people who avoid these marches saying it makes a mockery of them. We don’t have hetro-pride marches or proud to be fat marches so why have gay pride? When a certain group of people decide they need a march to show the world how proud they are to be that way I think they have the problem and not the rest of the populous who on the whole couldn't give a flying **** if they are gay as it just doesn’t matter.
RE: Why???? A bit like Barnsley town centre on match day then. Why should the non footie families be exposed to the hoards of Barnsley and opposing supporters taking over the pubs, shops, public transport, streets? A bit of tolerance is required. They ain't forcing you to join in.
so do I but that wasn't shaftn reds reason for his argument. It was that he wants to protect his child from gay people and having to explain to the child that it is ok to love somebody of the same sex which in my opinion is very wrong and hiding these things from a child is what causes homophobia, racism etc
What if im with my little girl and she wants to ask questions id rather not discuss wuth her at such a tender age? Why on earth would i want to explain any of this to my daughter. I beleive in being open with her, but only to a point. I suspect you told your kids everything as soon as they could listen. Perhaps that even Father Christmas doesnt exist !! I will keep her sheilded as long as possible before this crappy world gets hold of her. And by the way, she isnt spolit, but still nice and innocent. You get the drift yet? do you want to ruin everything by telling kids the truth too early? certainly looked that way to me and others
RE: I always get suspicious.. I am always suspicious of people who make obvious statements. You wouldn't go round telling people you breath air now would you.
Who are you (or anyone else) to tell him when and how to broach certain issues with his children ?</p> She's his daughter, it's up to him how he handles issues like this. The state doesn't yet have total control over kids. </p> </p>
wtf are you on about ? To quote you : "It was that he wants to protect his child from gay people"</p> No he doesn't. </p>
I agree. wait unti lthey ask before breaching sensitive subjects. No point in spoiling their innocence too soon.When they do start being inquisitive and asking questions,then you can be open and honest with them but don't force subjects on them before they're ready.
I often wonder... ...these people who are offended by things like this, does their moral outrage about homosexuality extend to a boycott of websites showing nubile 18 year-olds lezzing up?
Word it as you wish, the 2nd answer is "because there gay" hence the problem of explaing that one away. I would point out not everyone holding hands is in love
