Schools in tennessee k-8 not allowed to discuss gays.

[Mosasauria]

You really want a school teacher to have an in depth conversation of the difference between having vaginal sex with a girl and anal sex with a guy...to an eighth grader?

Why not?

This.
Anal sex is fun.

[Wamitoria]

IE: A state where you do not have to worry about "the religious" getting into your PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM.

Is there such a utopia?

[GeneralHaNor]

Not knowing what homosexuality is about is what makes people scared of it.

And as we all know: Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to the dark side.

Are you seriously going to run with the "Morality Drawn from George Lucas Movies" argument?

I Do believe this question has been thoroughly answered.

Don't do it. It's a trap.

Sure I do, just as much as I need to worry about your child having anal sex with a female, or oral sex with a male, or oral sex with a female, or any other kind of sex.

If your child is ignorant, that poses a direct threat to the public. I'm a member of the public. My loved ones are members of the public. If you don't want public interests to have an impact on the education that your child receives, then...DON'T PUT YOUR CHILD IN PUBLIC EDUCATION.

If you do not want Politicians creating legislation that their voters put them in office to create, DO NOT MOVE TO TENNESSEE...or any other state where you would be the minority. IE: A state where you do not have to worry about "the religious" getting into your PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM.

When Tennessee stops absorbing tax dollars from my state, I'll be willing to let them set their own agenda for the public schools that my tax dollars currently pay for.

So instead you were just discounting any possibility that a child of yours would have the audacity to go and be gay on you then?

No, I was actually stating that it is none of your damn business whether my child is gay or not. If you have a problem with, that is your issue. You want to put anymore words in my mouth while you are painting a picture of me?

Getting a tad defensive are we? I wasn't aware that asking you questions was "putting words in your mouth while painting a picture of you"?

Currently dropping, but 75% is way more than a majority.

It's so weird to see Christians pushing the idea of "majority rules" at the precise time when their majority is plummeting. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love it because my demographic is going to be the majority within a generation, so by your own argument we will have the right to oppress the snot out of you the moment we hold the majority...I just don't get why you would be pushing that agenda for us.

For people who enjoy it.

Maybe a wee bit, especially since you think that it should be your business what my child, let alone anyone else's sexual orientation should be. Should we all start wearing letters on our shirts that state our sexual orientation?

[Hellsgrind]

I see what you are saying. I still do not believe we should teach our kids how to have sex with anyone in public schools.

Then what's the point of showing them contraceptives? I mean, if you're going to show a kid a condom and then say, "This is used for protection.", you're going to get some kids wearing condom bicycle-helmets.

How about if you are in World History class studying Israel and a student asks "Did Jesus really die on a cross in Jerusalem?" Do you tell them your beliefs and say yes, I do. Or do you tell them legislation prevents you from answering that question and that talking religion in school is a big no no?

You bring up the fact that there have been documents suggesting to that figure existing and dying in that fashion, but the idea as a whole is still being hotly debated. In this manner, you are still INFORMING the child of the Christian prophet's supposed existence, but not necessarily giving your views on it. Whereas if the child asks if it's possible for two males to fornicate, and the teacher answers, "Yes, it is" you're giving the child the answer that they want and still maintaining political neutrality because the debate isn't so much that Homosexuality doesn't exist or not, but rather if it is right or wrong.

Like I said before, there's a huge difference between informing the child and persuading him. What he or she does with that information is solely up to him or her as an individual.

For males, receiving anal stimulation can directly trigger orgasm.

For me, it's the other way around. But I haven't exactly had sex with a guy...
Either way is nice really.

The article is questionable. One in three say they are evangelical?

It's not a "Christian" nation. What "Christian" nation would have an establishment clause......

There is no way that the slide Christians received in the last 20 years will continue. It may keep falling, but 14% in 20 years will never happen again. Id say, by the year 2030...you will see at or around 69%. No lower than 65%.

You complain about me putting words in your mouth because I ask you two questions and then proceed to put words in my mouth... When did I ever say that your child's sexual orientation was of any interest to me, let alone "my business"?

You need to promote abortion to be a Librul. Buttsecks doesn't cause abortion. Buttsecks is birth control for Catholics.
