Bisexuality disagrees with you

I understand that this little girl may be different, because of who her parents are, but come on, how many "average" 5 year olds even know what gay means?
exactly. Most 5 year olds are too busy being children to even think of that sort of thing.
-I have a feeling though, by the time I hit 30 years old, there will be a hell of a lot more homosexuals than there are today.

Let me guess.. that should be in about 15 years time right?
Also regarding your first response take ten 5 year old boys OR girls and show them a picture of a man and a woman kissing and guess what...EEEEWWW! Thats the response you will get to it whether male/female, male/male, female/female!!!edit on 9/4/13 by wiser3 because: (no reason given)

This is all sorts of wrong. Same sex oriented discussions and content which goes against the natural procreation method (something THAT CAN be explained simplistically to a 5 year old) should be off limits point blank period.

Wow! I'm really surprised this got so many stars. The only "opinions" she should be having at age 5 should be on topics such as what's the best flavor of ice cream or how to make the best mud pie.edit on 9-4-2013 by TrueMessiah because: (no reason given)edit on 9-4-2013 by TrueMessiah because: (no reason given)

And if they do, it is probably making fun of them.

It seems no matter what the topic is on ATS, if it involves homosexuality at all, People are with it 100%.

You seem to think the govt can solve social issues like gay marriage,
or better yet govt fixing disagreements on the whole topic. lol, you along with most liberals have lost your way on this if you think that is the case.
states and local govt to decide since not all regions in the U.S. will think like you do
Don't even try to preach to me what you think "freedom and democracy" is.
unfit parent. How sad of you sir. That's just pathetic.
So. without me even giving my *personal* stance on religion in this thread since it is un-related to the topic at hand, you choose to give your view of the subject as it somehow relates to gay marriage?
"If you believe it's perfectly acceptable not to teach your child that gay marriage is good and proper by the age of 5, then you are an immoral person not deserving of acceptance from our society and an unfit parent. You must conform to my beliefs (societies), or else you and your child are hateful and fearful people."
That about sums it up.

Why clutter a child's plate with this nonsense? Why not talk about "My Little Pony," "Transformers," playing at the park, going fishing, or coloring? You know stuff that children are interested in, and leave this BS to the adults. Better yet, why not let the children learn about this things in time, and when they are ready? They have plenty of time to be adults, and childhood is fleeting.

What does your "pro-equality" have anything to do with interviewing a 5 year old over adult matters?
But a 5 year old shouldn't be interviewed on national television over homosexuality.
nonsense. this shows you have no actual understanding of proper liberalism...(hint, its in the name)
They can, that's why they are elected. smart laws to force equality in areas that the state is involved in. segregation, gay marriage, women voting..yes..the government can solve these issues. Acceptance? church actually marrying gay people? no..thats for the people. but the legal framework starts and stops with the government.
No, disagreements is part of the people..we can disagree on many things. but governments job is to make sure that the framework for legal issues is equal. Government is not passing edicts that require you to like gays, different races, or women..they are simply passing laws that equal the rights of the various groups. Its your right as a citizen to freely hate, love, or feel indifferent about whatever you want.
Incorrect here. states should not decide who gets rights and who doesn't. You and I actually think alike on the subject here though. Ron Paul believed such stuff should be completely out of the governments hands. I agree.its a religious institution. But since its not..since there are tax breaks, many legal things, etc..state run, then it is then required to serve equally. No different than a different color of skin here
I have the freedom to speak my mind..so ya, I will try..and do. your choice to listen or not
I disagree fully with your notion that you should not broach the subject of social realities to a child of any age (within context of their age). They can grow up immune or shocked when they first hear about their friend with two moms or whatever...to not teach them a reality of the land makes them unprepared and will then be taught by someone else in their way.
Was responding to your mock outrage comparing no religion taught with accepting the rights of others in their private life. you were the one that went off the rails into absurdism, I simply responded of the difference between the two subjects.

Ditto, but you're the one who accused those who disagree with forcing gay marriage on a 5 y/o with not teaching their kids "freedom and democracy".

Is a child too young when they are starting school to find out that their friend may have a mummy and daddy?
No, that seems normal..
now, what if that same child, whom knows only about mummy and daddy dynamics meets a friend whom only has a mummy, or a daddy? the child will be confused as the parents never discussed how different familys have different setups sometimes.
and then some have two daddys (many here..remarriage), some have two mummys, and just two daddys, and some have none due to orphan situations.
This is not cluttering the mind of a kid..the kid already has a understanding of parents..guardians..what is being discussed is perspective of love being a qualifier moreso than any specific setup requirement.
