There certainly is too much suffering / division in the world today. I wish it wasn’t so.

IDK the true percentage of young children who feel like they were assigned the wrong gender but believe this is fairly common. I remember going through this & since come yo believe we all have varying degrees of male/female traits. Perhaps most ‘homophobes’ are likely in denial of their own feelings as such and there in lies the hate many have for those who chose the lifestyle.

Kids are both impressionable and vulnerable. Part of knowing who they are is by making their own choices, hopefully with proper love and support.

LGBT is as old an humanity and it’s a shame in this day and age it is not better tolerated. However the anger, hate and intolerance of the LGBT community is as appalling as the religious zealots — at least the zealots believe in the value of life.

You worried about children suffering? There are MANY more factors than their sexuality.

First-World Problems!

Kids are being raised believing truth is relative (doesn’t exist), that everything is disposable / conditional including love and family. We’re meant to believe human existence is an accident of nature (despite science suggesting otherwise) and death is the end. What is the sense of living then?

Oh, ‘Safe-Sex’ (a BIG lie) — is encouraged and killing the unborn downplayed as an inconvenience. What kind of life-long suffering must one have KNOWING they killed their baby.

Parent’s are over extended physically / emotionally / financially trying to measure up to some notion of ‘success’. Too busy to spend quality time with their kids, parent try fill the void with ‘things’ . When the the child’s innate need for love, consistency & acceptance goes unfulfilled all sorts of bad things happen.

They’re medicated them to quell the angst and have no life in their eyes. Others are often are ill-mannered with a unhealthy sense of self entitlement and lack respect for anyone.

Those who are less secure are ridiculed and shunned and consider to suicide or fame by being a mass murder. (guns don’t kill, people do)

I can go on but hope the point is clear: as children we have NO IDEA who we are and spend our lives figuring it out. It’s a beautiful mystery to unfold.

Children are innocent and impressionable. Sexuality is a beautiful part of who they are. As wonderful as sex is it can also cause terrible damage.

Pushing ANY social agenda on children, including LGBT-phobia, is DEAD WRONG.

May sound old-fashioned but may I suggest letting children enjoy their childhood while it lasts — not as a politicized platform on which to dump the baggage of our own childhood in the vein hope of shaping the future based on anger and fear.

Lastly, to address your well-intention yet audacious & unjustified opinion regarding my parenting skills and your ‘concern’ of irreversible damage to the most important people in my life:

You can rest assured my wife/spouse/partner have never steered our children toward or away from LGBT. Fact many in our family are LGBT.

We teach OUR kids not to judge but consider their character and respect them regardless. I suggest those in positions of influence to consider the same.

Without differences life would be very boring.
