I read today how the state of Tennessee passed a Bill that makes it illegal to discuss homosexuality to children before the ninth grade. While I can understand that some topics should not be discussed I also think that children need to learn that there is nothing wrong with being gay. It sends the wrong message and sadly too many people still judge gay people as being evil or worth less then straight people.
I look forward to the day when a wiser generation can run and be elected into government. A younger generation that accepts people for who they are. A group of kind individuals who will allow all people to be married wherever they want to be married and despite who they fall in love with.
Love is one the best things that can happen to someone and it's wrong that some people's relationships are treated with hatred.
There are a lot of topics that shouldn't be discussed before the ninth grade but pretending that a part of the human population doesn't exist is just wrong. Talking about it can help a kid feel accepted and maybe not be driven to someone as horrible as suicide. There is no reason that any child should have to feel alone with no one to talk to.
amen to that! very well said!
