Some cultures (Arabs, Muslims, Africans, Christians, etc..) just don't accept that as an acceptable norm in their culture and don't want their children to think it's an acceptable lifestyle. As someone who has a plethora of LGBT friends and acquaintances and comes from one of those conservative cultures I simply mean that I respect them and their rights but I also want to raise my children to grow up being cisgender heterosexuals.
Imagine thinking that forcing religion and heterosexual norms on a child will change their mind. Your religion does not dictate mine or my kids lives or lifestyles and don’t want that religious indoctrination forced on to us.
Some people (Ally’s, LGBTQIA+, Genderqueer individuals, etc…) just don’t accept that as an acceptable norm in their culture and don’t want their children to think it’s an acceptable lifestyle. As someone who has a plethora of religious friends and acquaintances and comes from one of those liberal cultures I simply mean that I respect them and their rights but I also want to raise my children to grow up being their authentic selfs and living their life.
"grow up being their authentic selfs"? so what age would you introduce them to homosexuality and gender theory? would you rather have them be thought that by their school or are you going to teach them that they can just choose their gender or sexuality?
The same age we introduce children to heterosexuality and gender theory. If the information taught is objectively truthful and backed up by scientific discovery then it makes no difference where it's learned because it will be factual.
At what age is it OK to let your kid read a book with a straight couple? At that age is the same age I'd teach for other option to be fine. There's nothing scary about homosexuality just as there isn't for heterosexuality. If them learning about heterosexual relationships doesn't hurt them, learning about homosexual relationships won't hurt them either.
Nah, nobody's got rights to treat others like shit for who they were born as.
It ain't right when Salafist muslims do it, it ain't right when black africans get told to do it by american evangelical missionaries, and it ain't right when you try to play cover for it by painting it as "just culture."
That behaviour is disgusting barbaric and undeserving of the respect afforded to true cultural differences like language and dress and (non harmful) traditions.
