I agree its brainwashing.. if it wasnt then why dont they go read there stories to 13-16 year olds?
If somone went in stating it is ok to be straight and its normal and acceptable there would be uproar.
The real reason for this is so that kids self police their parents who are from a different generation with different view points on the matter.. If their parent's oppose to this then kids might tell there teachers and teachers may report you and blah blah blah.

Since you are born gay I dont see how this is going to make a difference except to let a gay child know they are not freaks.
Maybe... Ya think???

I agree with you and I do not get it why others also do not agree. Its simple science. If you have a learning, impressionable mind of that of a youngster, its young years are the worst time to start filling with information that is not relevant to its life at this point in time. Its biology will begin to truly show when they reach puberty and then and only then should they be given the free will to travel whatever road they wish to travel. It should not be for adults to stand there and fill a young mind with misinformation. You may as well say the children's parents do not love them to their faces because after all, should not affect them, they will know biologically right?
- Can't at all do irreparable psychological damage that could leave a child lost.

In Britain you would go to the Christmas shows called Pantomime, where the leading man was a girl, and the guys dressed as old women. Every straight person literally laughed their heads off, Kids were the main audience. Their was no big hoo-ha about it back then when being gay meant being happy. Things really have changed.

Stop being an idiot. You cannot change a straight person gay and vice versa. When these children grow, sure some might be gay, that doesn't mean anything.
Stop fearing gay people and drag queens. One more thing I find people like you are usually the kind of people who hate what they are hiding from the world, is this true with you?
How do you explain women's softball teams? Or would you suggest lesbians are just genetically superior at softball? Normalizing the behavior makes it a viable option for confused hormonal teens in a situation that is clearly environmental . 50 years ago, the world wasn't upside down. Now you have television implying that every family unit has a gay person.
Stop taking the "evidence" there "could be a genetic link " to the extreme that it is 100% genetic and environment plays no part. No science supports that. There have been studies with identical twins to disprove that.
Secondly, why would anyone think it is ok to talk about this kind of stuff about any orientation with little kids? The nonsense needs to just stop. There is nothing "normal" about a drag queen. This whole situation has done so much damage to society.
...
And, ask yourself this: who in the world would want to identify as being a particular way that is looked down upon by WAY too many people in this world? People would choose that?
Nope.

Tranny is an offensive word. You demean yourself by using it. Do you use the N-word, too?
And some education for you: drag queens are not transexual. They are acting out a part. A trans person is someone who feels their gender identity doesn't match their sex. A transgender person conducts their daily life as a person of a different gender. A drag queen stands on stage dressed like a woman and lip syncs. Or in this case, reads to children.
In re: to baptists, perhaps you're behind on your news. There are myriad, recent stories about rampant molestation happening among the southern baptists. Here's one article: www.nbcnews.com...

What are you worried about? The "gay" may wash off on the kids? And, even if it did, what's the problem? Seriously...
And it is genetic. That's the way people were born. Of course environment has some say in it (nature vs. nurture), but think about it for a minute: how many people identifying as gay have come out to their families/communities to terrible consequences? More than you probably are willing to admit.

What a fantastic response, I think it says a lot that I'm the only one to star a post that is the most eloquent in the thread.
A storytelling session in a library is being painted by some on here as trying to initiate children into becoming gay - some have even not bothered reading the actual article (quelle surprise on ATS) and seem to think this is classroom teaching that is attempting to indoctrinate. If the storytelling week had overlapped with a black history month I'm sure there would be people on here suggesting there was a conspiracy to make white kids turn black.
Have you read the article?
The thread is not about LGBT month, it is about teaching kids, during these celebrations of sexuality, about being gay.
Celebrate all you like, but just leave the kids the f*** out of it.
Would you like some S&M crowd to be teaching kids about their sexuality during whatever time they deem it appropriate to celebrate the sh** they do in the bedroom? How about stripper month? Bring in a pole and teach the kids about pole dancing and lap dancing?
I'd like adults to act like adults [.....]
Adults don't teach children about sexuality at that age.
Would you like to stop being an idiot and actually read the article this is about? It doesn't actually 'teach' anything, but I happen to know from your posting history a little about what you are so not quite sure why I've bothered responding.
And I'm not quite sure how you haven't been zapped for getting bent out of shape and calling people idiots.
The queer and tranny that showed up were there to read a story to the children and tell them how great being gay is.
Yes, of course, you've learned from my posting history that I'm an independent thinker and normal, therefore I'll never be brainwashed into toeing the same illogical line that you're demanded to toe. I get it though, someone has to accept society's rejects and it upsets you that I'm not one who chooses to, so in your mind, I reject you like the rest of the normal society does.
In reality, I just want you to be yourself and believe what you want to believe without demanding others to believe the same thing. Your bullying tactics won't work on me because I despise bullies. In my opinion, they're no better than the white stuff that accumulates at the corners of a dry mouth.
Ah, aggression and terms such as 'queer' and 'tranny', like I say, I knew what to expect. You've said before that you're a boy from a small town, it's understandable that more cosmopolitan concepts such as showing that we aren't all the same are offensive to you, don't worry about it.
Do you complain about what the words LGBTQ stand for or is your anger limited to those who don't praise that lifestyle?
“They are too young to understand. They don’t know what makes male and female apart from how you dress and how you wear your hair. So to those children, those people are ladies because they look like ladies.” (Dr. Amy Brown, Ph.D., a professor of social psychology at UL Lafayette)
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders notes that children begin to experiment with gendered behaviors and interest, such as dressing up in certain ways, between the ages of two and four. This is true as well, according to the manual, for children experimenting with cross-gendered behaviors.

Children do not know what 'cross-gendered behaviour' means ffs. They don't need to know at that age.

Exactly my point - children don't know at that age and are not being taught anything - they are being shown diversity and hopefully taught to respect people's differences by the real teachers in their lives, their parents.

What next ? Respect the thief because that is how their brains are hardwired ?
Yes, there are scientists claiming that criminals can’t help themselves because of their biological makeup.
So will criminals be added to the ‘diversity’ program someday after it is concluded that they should not be treated .
“hardwired” Now a common phrase in news headlines, TED Talks, and blurbs for books about psychology and human behavior, “hardwired” originally referred to rigid cables, as opposed to flexible ones, in electronics. Its application was then widened to any computer hardware specifically wired for a function that couldn’t be changed. But recently, its overuse as a metaphor for the mind has gotten a bit out of hand. According to the researchers, few psychological abilities are actually “hardwired.” They write: The term “hard-wired” has become enormously popular in press accounts and academic writings in reference to human psychological capacities that are presumed by some scholars to be partially innate, such as religion, cognitive biases, prejudice, or aggression. For example, one author team reported that males are more sensitive than females to negative news stories and conjectured that males may be “hard wired for negative news.” Nevertheless, growing data on neural plasticity suggest that, with the possible exception of inborn reflexes, remarkably few psychological capacities in humans are genuinely hard-wired.
