    I am naive I guess, but I do feel at 7 you are nothing. This is similar to a discussion I had last year in cub scouts with parents who had a problem with the concept of gay scouts. my thought was from birth to the end of essentially scouting age, they are children. There is no need to sexualize anything. What they chose to do afterwards is their own choices. We are in too big a rush to make kids grow up whether they are straight, gay or transgender. Perhaps its my version of don't ask don't tell, but at these ages let talk about kid things.

    I agree totally with what Spear stated in his post/response..

    For me It's getting sicken you can't even look on Yahoo or other major web-sites and see on a daily basis who is gay today and decided to come out.... Honestly speaking I do not agree with that lifestyle but I also don't see the need for anyone (Straight or Gay) to tell people about it and make major news of it.... I really don't care what anyone fancies in their bedroom... And it's not news worthy either.

    Sad though that as parents today we are at a much earlier time in our children's life's having to explain the difference between straight and otherwise.... To be honest I don't think I really understood the totality of what someone saying they were Gay was until way into my teens...

    I could care less if people are gay, want to be gay, or whatever. Really, that's freedom. However, I draw the line at publicly pretending this is normal. I absolutely detest the fact that some schools in this country approach this subject, & act/teach as if this is normal.

    Im all for alternative ideas/lifestyles/whatever... again, THAT IS FREEDOM. However, if you choose an alternative lifestyle, whatever it may be, you should be willing to accept the fact that, not everyone agrees with or condones your lifestyle. Damn sure don't be trying to teach my kids, or grandkids that it is okay, or normal. This crap has really gotten out of control in recent years.

    One's sexual preference is much like a penis. It's okay to have one. It's even okay to be proud of it. Just don't go waving it around in public, or trying to shove it down kids' throats.

    If you aren't hurting anyone, or imposing on an innocent..... do your thang. Just keep it to yourself, or behind closed doors. Which is the real problem imo. I literally could care less what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own homes, as long as it doesn't involve innocents. Really. Just quit trying to impose it on everyone else.....

    I want to know why a parent would even put a PICTURE of there 7 year old child on the internet saying that my child thinks he or she is gay? This could back fire in ways you could have never imagined!! I'm in law enforcement, this young child is going to have problems if he doesn't already with bulling among other stuff nice job PARENT!!
