RE: What’s The Right Age to Talk to Kids About LGBTQ Relationships?

in #life5 years ago

I agree .. it’s important for kids to know , but I think that a parent should be the one to tell their children.... I don’t think that it is appropriate, no matter what your feelings towards it are , a school teacher should not be having that discussion ... myself , I believe people will love who they want regardless of gender , nationality, etc .... but that should be a conversation I have with my children . .. at least that’s what I think .

Thanks for sharing your view @anonymity and I agree that parents should be the one to raise the subject with their kids. However the problem is that some parents don’t, or they teach negative attitudes towards the LGBTQ community and that might contribute toward homophobia later on. At least when they talk about it at school it normalises for everyone.

I know , but I feel like with anything else ... it’s up to the parent .... and we can’t tell people how to parent their children .... maybe schools should touch on the subject when the children are older ... like when they take health Ed. And the start discussing sex etc . But I wouldn’t want anyone discussing it besides me before than . I have had the conversation with my 8th grader and touched on the topic with my 5th grader .
