A 10 year old was suspended for asking to be excused from a Pride lesson in school...

What are you doing? @GoldenWorm

@GoldenWorm As is hammered into everyone day in and day out recently, lol

And before you think I am a bigot, I am bisexual, and even 'I' think it's getting a bit much.

@Quizzical edit this is meant for thunder. you linked 2 different issues. 1. Should kids know about LGBTQ people with 2. What's appropriate punishment for violating school rules.


You can see the conservatives here saying no to the education because of the punishment. Its two different issues.

I didn’t link anything. My response is why are you calling people snowflakes? I didn’t read the other responses here so I don’t know what you mean on the last point. @GoldenWorm

@GoldenWorm I think the punishment was WAY over the top, but I think the reaction from the school was that extreme purely because it was a lesson about LGBT issues...

Had the guy not wanted to do a PE or a metal-shop lesson no-one would have batted an eyelid.

@Spoiledbrat I was replying to some one else, not you.

Oh. That happens. @GoldenWorm

@Quizzical maybe, I have no idea and OP didn't provide context about usual severity.

@GoldenWorm Well, admittedly, more details would be useful.

I just think lgbq community is being a little disgusting and rude toward people who don’t get it. @GoldenWorm

(Raising hand in school) “Gay guy here. 10 is just too freaking young to understand jack shit about sexuality and sexual orientation. Force feeding a 10 year old male or female gay or str8 “education” is nothing short of rape. The parents (if they really know and understand their kids) should be the ones to know when and what age their child is ready for sex ed. And that’s my gay and very proud 2 cents.” @Quizzical

@DukeOfEarle It's interesting... The very vocal 'faces' of the LGBT community would have everyone believe that we are all reading from the same script and all want exactly the same things, which leads the rest of society to believe the same thing, and that there is some sort of 'Gay Agenda', when in reality, just as with everyone else, we all have totally different opinions...

I'm afraid I think that Pride as it stands these days is doing so much damage to social relations... It's doesn't help that it seems to be being totally run and organised by the far left social justice warriors 🙄

To quote Fonzie, “Exactamundo!” I will admit I am in the minority in that regard. But I do have to ask this question: Since when do men and women who (because of their sexual orientation) generally do not procreate suddenly think they know what’s best for kids? @Quizzical

@DukeOfEarle Lmao, that's a fair point 😂

@GoldenWorm

Just for clarification are you calling me a snowflake?

I merely asked a question for discussion.

I have no dog in this fight.

@Spoiledbrat Yes, exactly. Even though I am bi Trans, I hate today's militants within the community, they are way overboard and target those in business that want nothing to do with them, like the cake bakers.

@NativeOregonian They just don't understand, you can't FORCE someone to like and accept you, and if you try then folks tend to become resentful more than anything 😒

@Quizzical They understand, they just don't care, and are hellbent on punishing everyone with lawsuits that they can, just because they want to.
