Oh NO! not TEH GHEY!!!!

So, preschoolers may get to learn that there are some parents who happen to be in a same-sex relationship, or -as I like to call it- “a married couple who are gay.”

This has caused a number of people to freak right the fuck out. Their main reaction:

“I don’t want to teach my child about sex.”

What in the Freaking Hell?

So I have to ask them...When your child sees a married hetero couple, do you talk about sex with them?

Why should seeing a same-sex couple be any different? Is it absolutely necessary to point out "oh yeah, see those two men? They like getting it on with the nasty together, just like daddy and I do"? Do you tell your kid "yeah, daddy and I have lots of sex, and so do all your friend's parents. 'cause we're straight."

WTF does sex and the having of it have to do with same sex couples who parent children that opposite sex couples who parent children doesn't?

answer: absolutely nothing. not a damned thing. there is no need to talk about sex at all when pointing out to a small child that there are all kinds of families, and some of those families happen to have two mommies or two daddies.

If you're not talking about sex with your kid when you see str8 couples with kids, why the hell would you think you have to talk about it when/if you see gay couples with kids?

holy shit already.

Why the hell do people think that when they talk about a gay couple, they have to go into details about anal sex, and how much lube is needed per night? You would think that when they see a gay couple, the first thing they think of is "Hey, they're boning each other. heh. heh."

What the fucking hell is so damned offensive about one man kissing another man, that isn't offensive about a man kissing a woman?

grow up and get out of the fourth grade already, jackasses!

Here's a hint. Little kids? don't care about sex. They may know that rubbing whatever feels really nice, and that boys have a penis, and girls have a vagina,(or whatever stupid, weird, or cutesy name their sexually repressed parents thought up to name said body parts) but beyond that they don't really care, nor do they want to know. "Todd has a daddy, but no mommy" "Lina has two mommies" "Taran lives with his grandma".. these are all they know, all they really need to know. So wtf is up with the hand-wringing and "oh my baby doesn't need to know about sex yet, so keep her the hell away from the gayfolk!" bullshit?

Damn.

Well, it's a scare tactic. Clearly the maturity level drains out the end of some adults about sex: once they discover it, they decide what's right and wrong about it and that their views are penultimate. Therefore, anyone (in this case, little kids) who has a differing view (in this case, almost no view) about sex, must be "educated to the right".

How about, we don't worry about the sex stuff until the kids ASK. Let's not force these things down their throats way way before they're ready or even remotely curious. There's plenty enough misinformation and bias out there without loading up kids to be minature copulation-nazis.

Geesh.
