It must be hard for all concern. We will know the impact on children from these union and marriage in the next 20 years- good, neutral or bad.

This short and lively video seeks to dispel myths about LGBBTQ parenting from that community's perspective.

Islamic scholars overwhelmingly teach that same-gender sex is a sin.

The Muslim holy book, the Koran, tells the story of Lot and the destruction of Sodom - and sodomy in Arabic is known as "liwat," based on Lot's name. 

In reply to nitro

Yes, so what is your point? Punishment for sins can only be determined by God not by man. Is it your contention that using one's religious belief, one should punish and discriminate against others? Is it your contention that one is required to hate them?

If so then you badly mistaken about religion and the holy text, because it calls for none of that, but it do require compassion and humanity.



Do you always think so narrow minded?

In reply to Emir

There are some who would rather children grow up in the uncertain world of orphanages and foster care than be raised by couples in a same-gender relationship. It is what is.

In reply to Tryangle

I posted this story not because I am for or against, but it is a serious social topic of our times, and you young people will be at the center of accepting it or fighting it.

Some have likened it to the civil rights of our time while others have tied to the end of our civilization.

All the credible research says that there is a no harm or no difference to a child's mental health being raised by LGB parents. Some studies have even found it beneficial compared to "unintentional" parents.

Paid studies. The Miseducation of America by these queers.

In reply to nitro

My problem with that poster is his/her religious radicalism. One should never attempt to impose his religious views and or obligations on another.

The Quran is quite clear on this so not sure why he felt it necessary to quote a religious text he doesn't believe in to support his views.

The white man is changing the laws of the Holy Bible.As far as I understand,every Holy book is against Lezzers and Battybways.Why do we have to teach little kids at school that it's OK to be Gay or Lesbian,children at that age are very impressionable and could be swayed,2 man cyah make baby neither can 2 women but dem want children to bring up,what a joke.

In reply to granite

I think the separation of church and state (which is yes a USA concept, and not necessarily law in other countries) suggests that no religion, holy or otherwise, should dictate specific policy when it comes to the rights of individuals. So things that may be considered as sins in a religious text, may not be considered illegal by a particular government for whatever reason. Laws evolve of course.

The procreation argument against gay people is such a bizarre one in my opinion - we don't ban infertile couples from the legal construct of marriage, but people of the same gender? Because of where these couples may place their parts?

Back to the topic of raising children. You got good parents, you got bad parents. Some are straight, some aren't. Children may be impressionable but they're also clever. If they're in a loving environment, the chance for their future success skyrockets. If they're in a broken home (or none at all), it's much less.

In reply to Tryangle
I appreciate your articulate response concerning LGBBTQ,but I still feel children so young shouldn't be taught about Lesbians and Gays so early in life.You never know how many can be swayed,that is what I am bothered about.I only wished that the powers were so interested in teaching 5 year olds about racism and how bad it is.Anyway you say the world is changing and who knows what's next,as for Holy Books I never felt much about them,maybe we would just keep changing the rules to suit changes in society.

In reply to Trinity

where exactly is that "credible" research?

In reply to granite

Catch em in their formative years and indoctrinate.

Catch and release.

We wont let them drink, drive. vote, cross the road, handle dangerous animal, give em drugs

But sex education that is so graphic that I would not utter to a lady. Well kids can handle.

Remember Canadian premier Whynn, she appointed her friend who owned child porn to write the curriculum.

In reply to granite

Remember that at several points in history, holy books were used to justify all kinds of craziness. So society evolving with the times makes sense, else we'd still have chattel slavery, church-sanctioned sexual abuse, and the like.

As for teaching kids, I've heard people claiming that kids are being taught the literal sexual functions and the like. Which to me seems ridiculous. We don't teach young kids about what heterosexual activity entails, so this extreme seems ludicrous. Is it mischief-making? Honest question.

On 'grooming', yeah we as adults have to be watchful of it at any level - so that goes for family members, teachers, coaches, youth group leaders, anyone in a position of minding after children for a period of time.

I think it can be done without deep explanation or description. I mean, they're going to come across a same sex couple holding hands or hear about it in school from their buddies or whatever. What do we say? Do we say, yeah most couples are a man and a woman, but you have some men who likes another man in the same way and women who likes another woman... and then choose to bring up if it lines up with your particular faith or moral code or whatnot... but I don't think you go beyond that because why would a child be interested in anything beyond say a kiss? If the child asks about having babies, then maybe you bring up adoption or surrogacy but you're not necessarily going to get into the biology (unless the kid's older and youve already had that birds and bees talk?)

In reply to Tryangle
You have sanitized this quite nicely,don't get me wrong because I am not anti this or that,hopefully they would work in the manner you are hoping they would.Respect.

In reply to Dan_De_Lyan

Nonsense and you sound like a radical-religious fundamentalist bigot for making this statement, no sex education class teach "graphic" matter about sexual intercourse to children. That is a damn lie.

Some people have no problem passing on racist mores and prejudice stereotype to their children yet they object to LGBTQI education for kids.

The buller-man has been around since human came to being and at certain times in history they were accepted.

What we know and it is becoming quite clear is this- Bullermen are not made, they are born that way and no one can sway a straight person to become a bullerman.

Following his arrest in 2013 Ben Levine ultimately pled guilty “to three of the seven charges, namely one count of possession of child pornography, one count of making written child pornography, and one count of counselling a sexual assault.”

In reply to Dan_De_Lyan

You cannot equate that Ontario example with all sex ed class. Sex Ed has proven beneficial to kids.

In reply to Emir

that is all across the board.

You made this comment me.

.



Then I posted what Ontario is doing to kids. Now your position is shifting?

But you can give an opinion to me?

In reply to Dan_De_Lyan

Yes I can. People who give an opinion like you did based on one example and then broad rush that to an entire global community is dangerously bigoted.

It is why I was aghast

In reply to Emir

being old is not synonymous with wisdom.

Medicine says Mental illness, but you say it must be normalized. Smh
