Is an 11 year old really old enough to sign this petition?

Time and again, we're told that kids are being forced to grow up too soon, Nd that that should not be subjected to 'gay propaganda'.

That being the case - would you be happy with your child being subjected to THIS propaganda?

No, I wouldn't - and I wouldn't be happy with them signing a pro-gay marriage petition either.

Exactly. I can't understand why this story hasn't had much traction. If Stomewall started handing out pro-marriage equality leaflets at school gates, can you imagine the furore???

NO

No. And why is a Catholic school disseminating the views of some Catholics ?

I had a chat with both my kids yesterday about this, they go to a catholic school and by all accounts the Catholic Education Service has written to all catholic schools looking for support for their propaganda on gay marriage.  I've heard nothing fom the school as yet and am confident that they won't go ahead with any talks without parent consultation. I told my kids that they must not sign anything that makes them feel uncomfortable and that if they felt pressured they should refer the teachers to me. My kids don't really understand what all the fuss is about anyway, 13 year old said if people love each other they should be able to ge married, end of. Quite right!
