Sex obsession of any type's for kids.

Reminds me of a queer eye for the straight guy episode where they were watching one of their "charges" shower prior to asking his wife to be to marry him. They were commenting on his shaving technique (which I thought was ludicrous), and then one of them was commenting about his body and making suggestive comments. On a prime time show. It was disgusting. Why the double-standards? If that was a guy OR girl making comments about the opposite sex, they'd be crucified. But because they were gay, it was "ok" for some reason.
Just a bevy of my thoughts about gay folks, and gay rights, etc.

For those who object to it because your children might see it, eventually they will be exposed to it, and probably when you are not around. You are also missing a golden opportunity to teach your child(ren) something very valuable.
I think it depends where people live, if their young children will be exposed to it or not. Where I am living now, this definately would not happen, but their are known gay inidividuals around. While they are not discriminated against by neighbors, they don't show public displays of affection.
I'm also curious as to what age you think it is ok for children to be exposed to this? You gave a nice example of a talk one might have with their children, but unless you are actually a parent, it isn't so easy.
Children ask a billion questions when they are small, and I know for myself, being a mother of 4, that I would have a hard time explaining this to them, so, while I am acceptant of your situation, you have to realize that your suggestion might not fly with a lot of parents.

Not only have you simply explained the situation, but you have begun to instill in your child(ren) their own individuality and that they need not conform to the will of others.

To those who object to homosexual behavior due to their religious beliefs (mainly Christians as I've seen you in the religious threads), I would remind you that Jesus gave you only two commandments:

I would also add:
37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven
Luke 6: 37
All words atributed to Jesus himself. If you are truly a Christian, then these words out trump any others from the Bible, as you should have a duty to follow the words spoken by Jesus himself before all others in the Bible.

Here is what you are essentially teaching your child...

Look, son, you see those men? They are different. We're all different.
Some people choose to worship Satan, and some the one true God.
Some people listen to music that is demeaning to women, or is self-destructive, or promotes violence against others.
Some people believe that it is acceptable for an older man around my age to have sex with a young boy around your age if both consent (THINK: NAMBLA).
Some people think that male-on-male sodomy for the explicit purpose of pleasure and self-indulgence is acceptable.
Some people believe that Moses, who led Israel (God's chosen people) and Paul (who was a faithful and obedient apostle of Christ) were liars and bigots, therefore negating their favor from God according to the commands of God through his only begotten son Jesus, who also was a deranged liar.
But it's ok, son. We're all different, just like them.

Shame!
To answer the question, no. Differences are good. Some behavior however, should not be and is not acceptable, but in private, go ahead. Case-in-point, farting. Silly analogy, but I hope the point can be made. Wanna sit in your room ripping'em until your nose hairs are burned, go right ahead. Sitting in the booth at McFastfood, not appropriate or acceptable. If you don't like that I will try to find you a better one
So you are saying anyone who is different than you should just hide who they are?
People should NOT be ashamed of who they are...
I would agree that someone who hates someone, especially due to the fact that there is a difference, is stupid and may qualify as sumbag. I don't hate homosexuals at all. Nor do I hate someone because they differ with me on something.
...if you are hateful and hate people just because they are different than you are a SCUMBAG.

Well, it seems you were taking shots at my post without a direct address, and via edit instead of a new post which I almost missed but let me address your opposition.
First, I never made a claim that homosexual individuals cant be good people or incapable of raising a child. I said they shouldn't be. The reason goes back to my indoctrination of society that is in process for homosexual and other inappropriate behavior/lifestyles. A child growing up with a homosexual as a parent, especially if they are what could be considered a good parent, they are either directly or indirectly being brought up to accept their parents lifestyle as normal and acceptable. Which it shouldn't. I also did NOT say that a heterosexual couple or person guarantees a loving or good parent.

Wrong. This hits at the heart of the problem. Shame is real, and should exist for thing. Another example of appropriate shame, a ship is sinking, not enough lifeboats. A 40 year old man takes the last seat on the last boat before a 10 year old, or woman. Shameful. Shame exists to further encourage us to do right. The idea of a shameless world, is one where anarchy rules.
