Am I Being Too Sensitive

a reply to: VulcanWerks

But for the kids that's just an adult who dresses funny. They don't talk about anal or such words, do they?
I have recently learned that is a necessary question.

Again I go back to what I said.

They don't have to know about Pride Month per se in full context.

They can learn about famous persons who had notable achievements and context can be added as they age.

Another way to put it is that you might tell your students that the US fought a Civil War or fought in WWII. You might even discuss who fought whom when they are in grade school, but you start adding in the fuller contexts of issues like the real horrors of slavery and the Holocaust until they are a good deal older for obvious reasons. It's not that you're hiding anything so much as that they are not mature enough to really process it.

The full context of LGBT differences is the same way. Everyone assumes that no one is talking about the sexual proclivities of any other famous person they are learning about either.

But it's still also a playful expression of your personality. I love Ru. For example, I feel he is giving a bunch of outsiders a little lovefest now and again with a big reach. Not saying watch that with your children!
But I enjoy that and I support that.
Sure are some nasty bitches but that's true for the whole average of the population.
People can make a decent living with design and showmanship.
I hope you all give your children so many more impressions of how they can be as adults that only those for whom it serves a need can find it and the rest sticks with...super heroes or whatever else they need for that aspect of their personality.

You know what? As soon as Tom Cruise became a good actor? He killed himself on Oprah.

It's just sad we have very many bad Tom Cruise movies and only two good ones.

School uniforms were a big debate... as far as I know LGBT etc. isn't a uniform those that have worn it like one as if it were a character? Are typically called "flaming" at the extreme other end no one suspects the Birthday clown.

It's like food or treat safety on Halloween... too many Gacys' or people pretending to be something they are not, doing things wholly criminal and using earned uniforms to do it,soiling everyone else's reputation that also earned the uniform or rank.

Saying Professional lesbian or gay or Bi just leads people to think pornography not anything moral or ethical in their sexuality. However it doesn't actually lead then their desire craving and curiosity does and of course those that are professional aren't the one's aflame they go about their lives craving monogamy eating ice cream feeling sad from a failed relationship and just as lonely as anyone else.

It isn't as glittery and noble as Hollywood tries to make it appear but just as normal and common place as before it was ever cast into the public eye like a grain of sand that either irritates or brings a tear where there weren't any... Oh once Hollywood is done with the Gay is fabulous the truth is out there waiting, lurking and it is dark. Sugar coating it and hiding that side is imperative because A lot of truth and justice has to come out of it so people can finally breathe a be free of it.

I had a psychiatrist once try to get me to admit or feel like he did... sex was sex that it feels good no matter who that feeling is coming from.

Can you imagine the horror? On the fundamental level he was correct... however he was leaving consent out of the equation, like you keep telling or forcing that dog to sit... one day it will like it.

NO IT WONT

I completely understand your discomfort.

Personally, I'm opposed to 'anything' month. A single day, I could accept.

In this country, people who died for our freedoms only get a single day. That should be the same across the board.

No, it's disgusting that sexual orientation has any place in pre-school.

Kids should be having fun, socialising and playing with friends not worrying about the birds and the bees.

On the one hand, sex is sex, but on the other hand, not everyone thinks of sex the same way. There is a reason why we call them kinks or fetishes, and there is a reason why homosexuals have trouble in regular society.

It is mainly because, truth be told, I have a strong disgust reaction to the idea and site of two people of the same sex engaging in relations. At best, I can tolerate it, but I do not seek it out. So for your psychiatrist to try to get you worked around to that was very much wrong. I always assumed that if one were homosexual, then such a person would be feeling the same reaction to seeing straight disaplays.

And I also figured that perhaps this was why we did not engage as a whole in PDA as a general rule, at least back in the days of my grandparents. It was always a given that certain people weren't going to want to see it.

Part of the current issue a lot of younger generation heard extremist a lot but didn't know what was being directly pointed at or referred too, to come up with their own ideas or delusional equations... that makes them sort of unique but also sort of out there lost in the aether.

"What else is new"is what I have heard from the young peer pressured to do way way too much and things others never would as dares or so called rites of passage. Knowing the root. Those children walking by all of that is sort of the same thing as extremism was.

It reminds me of the song parody now known as the war on some drugs... Huey Lewis and the News"I want a new drug and then lists the side effects he wants and see's beneficial from it... sort of like designer clothes and fashion.

I wouldn't want to wear any other generations clothes than my own generations in all honesty. Expecting mine or anyone else's too is unrealistic being distilled out from them as genetic and social wisdom.

The "Y"s as they are called have left late "Y"s out in the cold trying to be or catch up to generation"X" or one up them. I go out to places to relax and I have noticed virtually all of them go out to places to compete. It is very tiresome watching them get away with basically murder that would have 10 police vehicles at anyone in my generations house that did the same things. But that is the winds of change or progress as Robert Dillon sang it.

I honestly do not like saying generation this that or the other only because they have been used as weapons against each other to fuel that idea that there is or should be competition instead of peace and relaxation. Acting like there is only one crayon and everyone needs or has to use it all at the same time.

Yeah what I don't like is sick old nasty men looking at the women of previous generations trying to be sugar daddies when they were adverse and hated tattoos piercings the music etc but now it is their fetish their perversion... previously having legislated and preached and used law enforcement against all of those people that they now want to get sick with... not realizing they were already sick with discrimination and trying to accept what they never did?

Well too late.

Yeah not my psychiatrist... a psychiatrist and it's obvious he was a quack. But the sorts of people mentioned have always been the problem thinking people they are now or always have been sexually attracted to but denied it used to subjugate in an attempt to control them instead of do them the honor and step the hell out of all of our way... and get back to theirs.

Sex was not important only because so many people were damaged and abused from people like that... and still are.

Justice or fruition of actions always arrives as law without law.
