How do you think your homosexual classmates felt during these lessons?
Is the reason public schools teach sex-ed for pro-creation, or to have an orgasm?
ab·nor·mal
abˈnôrməl/Submit
adjective
deviating from what is normal or usual, typically in a way that is undesirable or worrying.
Homosexuality is unquestionably not usual. I think it’s a disservice to tell gay kids that their lives won’t be harder. No matter how much the culture changes and gets more fair, humans treat different with hostility and pettiness. If nothing else they will have less partners to choose from.
Telling gay kids they’re freaks and throwing them off buildings like ISIS. No.

Neither–it’s anti-procreation, in that it focuses on abstinence or contraceptive education. (Relatedly, it’s also anti-STD.)
So is being able to DL 800#.
I know of no one advocating for that message to be taught. Do you?
Sounds like you’re making a strong case for early-education interventions to counteract the “hostility and pettiness.”
Less partners than…?
Straight kids.
Yes. But don’t teach them that the sky is brown. Heterosexuality is normal/common/usual. Otherwise there wouldn’t be 7 billion people around. Being gay is and always will be more difficult for kids. I don’t believe in teaching kids life will be easy or pleasant.
True dat. One of many, many reasons it’s easier to be straight than gay. And, I would add, just another reason why, at this juncture, no one in their right mind would ever choose to be gay.
One of these things
Is not like the others…
Acknowledging their existence is not ‘teaching them life will be easy or pleasant.’
We are operating under different definitions of heteronormative. Oh well. I think we’re 95% in agreement in policy and actions. That’s a win lmao. Have a good evening.

I think they can figure that out on their own.
I think a good looking, pleasant gay man will have more choices than a heterosexual who looks like Harvey Weinstein.
With equal net worth than yes. Money matters.
Money wasn’t enough for Harvey.
Well thanks to intersectional yarn balling, I’m not even allowed to speculate on that without being beaten with a pussy hat full of rocks.
So one one hand you have “everything is normal” and on the other there is “Don’t try to understand us because its an insult to treat us as though we are different or should be understood by white privilege power structure blahblahblah…” .
Like everybody that isn’t them is normal, but so are they and damn you for thinking that they aren’t.
So Yeah, leave that out of the curriculum. Too many sub standard test scores in the actual basics to roll that sexual dumpster fire down the hallway at a bunch 13 year olds.
But if I were to speculate on how a gay kid felt in a heteronormative perspective based sex ed class I’d say he would feel the same way as many other kids felt in their elementary algebra class as they puzzled over the ever burning question- “What the hell do I need to know this for?” as they are lectured on how math is everywhere and applies to everything.
It’s not what they have done, it’s what the far right want them to do and if the get 6-3 or even 7-2 majority, they may be able to fulfill their greatest fantasies. Hold on notorious RBG!
No… you have it backwards.
Gay marriage proponents simply want gay people to be able to do the same thing as straight people (get married), but religious people say that homosexuality is an abomination, is against God, and is not in line with biblical marriage thus they shouldn’t get to do it. Remember the whole “Adam and eve, not Adam and Steve” thing?
No one was trying to tell straight people they had to do anything. They were trying to get gay people the same rights as straight people.
Which one of those is legislating morality?

The graph shows months and jobs gained or loss, and it shows the timeline where the stimulus happened. It doesn’t say that the stimulus created that trend. I suppose you could say it infers that because of the arrow but it doesn’t explicitly state it.
Also I was using it to show that Trump basically inherited his job growth, Which he is taking full credit for. I suspect if his numbers were down it would be “Terrible Obama crashed Economy before I took office. Sad”

You can bet that’s exactly what he’s going to say once the economy takes a turn downward. Regardless of when it does.

You mean where a baker has to go to the SCOTUS because they were sued over not making a cake for a gay couple? When the government tries to coerce a private business to provide products they don’t want to. That must be what you mean by legislating morality.
That has nothing to do with morality. It is a legal question that deals with rights. The scotus does not legislate.
