I agree! Parents should feel comfortable, knowing that no topics contained herein will harm their children. It is a very serious shame that many parents are so confused aout right and wrong and health and harm that they might consider the exposure to homosexuals “inappropriate for their” children.

Don’t try and turn this into a homophobic issue. Topics WRT to sex are inappropriate for a family-safe site like LUGNET (save off-topic.debate)

Don’t try and turn this into a genophopic issue. Sex is a family-safe topic. The only reason such discussion doesn’t belong here is because the owners say so.

  
   But what can we do about it?

You can respect the desires of some parents who don’t wish their children exposed to these topics in this type of forum. What is so difficult about that?

I’m not willing to reduce myself to the lowest common denominator of thought and action. That’s what. Your particular small-mindedness about human sexuality is a perversion of humanity and I’m not willing to support it no matter how wide-spread it is. Respect is earned, not granted.

  
   Forced re-education camps are pretty antithetical to our way of life even if that’s what is called for.

Well, that’s just your opinion IMO.

Well, isn’t it just your opinion that I’m wrong? Or does your opinion somehow get to be called inerrant fact?
