I'm not sure that this would lead children toward homosexuality, but it would certainly be confusing for children who are just developing social interactions. My girls are a little confused by "boys with girl's hair" and why their maternal grandparents don't speak. There is a a gay couple in my neighborhood raising a little girl and they seem to be great parents. My daughters don't yet understand that they are a couple. I'm not ready to try to explain that one but I don't know if I want "King & King" to beat me to the discussion. I have a cousin who is gay and, as a child, he alsway sat with the little girls at family gatherings. He didn't know what gay was (or did I) at the time. He wasn't lead into homosexuality, it was inherent early on. As Chris Rock would say, "he didn't have anyone to be gay with." I'm just not sure that this sort of schoolbook, back then, would have helped him understand himself or deterred any playground bullying. I'm all for such stories/books involving children with physical challenges as those are immediately evident and should be addressed to avoid any social stigma. Addressing sexuality (homo or hetero) at age four, however, I'm not comfortable with. I think it would put a lot of people off, but I think these books should show to the occasional mixed ethnic couple so that would not be such a shock to kids.
I think there are defiantly guys born with inherent feminine characteristics. I'm sure that they get horny like the rest of us. They cannot get a date with the chicks they hang with much less get their noodle wet so they resort to the feminine compassion of their other likewise friends. Does not mean there is an inherent gay instinct. Just differing levels of physical and emotional attributes. And the ability to improvise to satisfy a need. Then there are just freaks. This is not hard to understand really it breaks down real simple. Most of us heterosexuals can relate for instance shagging a chick in some quazi public location what a rush right? Is sex r e a l l y better in some contorted position scrawled between the four seats of a 75 Honda Civic? I think not. But the rush of doing it in public can make it fun. At some logical point most would be like “ok been there, done that, got the t-shirt, time to move on” Some never do just taking it farther and farther. The public says “insert x act here” is bad. That just made it all the more fun for those types. I'm sure there is a percentage of population that admires goats from a sexual standpoint. But if it was common and accepted knowledge that every household had a family goat fuck toy the shine would suddenly tarnish and the goat fuckers would simply move on. But that’s just because they are freaks no genetic predisposition here. If I had a kid it would be some version of this I would tell my son. If I had a girl.... her ears would never hear trash like this and she would not know what sex was until she met some guy and got married ...after I died.
It doesn't matter what reading material they gives kids to try and introduce them into the fact there are homosexuals in the world and that there is nothing wrong with it, kids are bastards and will be mean to anyone who is different wether it be because the kid is fat, ginger, spotty,smelly or got big ears.They are like a pack of hounds and as soon as that difference is noticed they will pray on it.All these books will do rather than help out kids who's parents are the same sex or kids who might be showing homosexual tendancies , they will bring it to the attention of the school bullies.
No doubt. When I was in school there was this guy that picked on me all the time. I just saw that he got arrested recently as a sex offender. Somehow that makes me happy.
You forget I got kids who are in highschool and i see what they have to go through everyday...it's like running the gauntlet .I'd hate to be at school nowadays it seems so much harder than when i was there.
Probably drunk in a tree stand. I'm not sure. Lots of in-breeding in my family, I can't keep it straight.
Point is if he had Dad there to tell him to get his ass out of the makeup party and go climb a tree he might not have ended up where he is. I'm not saying that playing with the boys was a sure thing for change, I'm just saying that sometimes people get labeled, and then they fulfill the label. A boy needs a man around.
