aog and sqad
your argument appears to be that at 5, children should only be exposed to what they already know or assume
that seems somewhat limiting
and contrary to what learning is actually about
as i wrote earlier; confusion is good! it is natural precursor to enlightenment and increased understanding

Just because they consider it normal OG it doesn't mean that is the road they'll be taking!
Some people like to exercise and go to gyms, I fully accept that and also accept that it's considered normal for them to do so, me personally however think it's wrong if I ever set foot in such an establishment ;-)

Yeah but aog is right.... a wedding - but no priest but they are not the norm, and certainly not an R C priest - heavens ! -
and not a muslim wedding - certainly not normative
nor a jewish wedding - uh uh not normative - in fact I've never been to one !
and no racial minorities - only on the ground that they are not nomrative
and we are left with the very normal white anglo-saxon protestants
which is definitely the place some people wish to be....

/Educational books for children at that age illustrate the norm, in my opinion and not the exceptions. /
whose norm?
growing up in Liverpool in the terraced streets I found that 'Janet and John' always lived in suburban semis or villages surrounded by fields, duck ponds and woods.
that was alien and possibly confusing initially; but a useful learning experience nonetheless

I think the point is being missed here, they are not talking about teaching sexuality but relationships.
Children can be cruel, with anything seen as unusual, to teach children that two people of the same sex can have a loving realtionship and bring up children, just like their own parents is surely justified?
Their are gay people, those people are "out" they are going to get married and they are going to have children. I have no idea how may gay marriages there wil be, there will be.
To deny it, is archaic, like hiding your head in the sand, but people should really understand that todays 5 year olds will be FAR more accepting and understanding of gay people than todays population.
To be taught this has nothing to do with our perceptions, but theirs.
In a society that has celebrity gay couple Elton & Daveid etc, gay relationships in TV shows, Modern Family, Will & Grace and others. To not discuss and explain it to some extend is ridiculous

What about Sikhs? They believe that couples are a joining of souls and that the body you happen to be in is niether here nor there, thus they aren't hung up about ' gayness' at all. They are a major religion who have managed just fine not suppressing or promoting it, just accepting it. No big deal, as some might say.
/No but it has been known for it to encourage experimentation. /
That is factually untrue
A phase of homosexual experimentation is a natural and spontaneous process among a high percentage of people without any external models to copy
The vast majority of those individuals develop into heterosexuals

Don't worry AOG, they won't catch gayness!! ///
No but it has been known for it to encourage experimentation.
umm no: Frankie goes to Hollywood was marketed as that year's fad - homosexuality. Holly Johnson and Paul Rutherford were feted as gay members - and the ad campaign was abandoned.
The ads were changed to a memorable - Holly and Paul like.... fruit
and that was because the kids wouldnt buy it.
so much so
that they had to change the campaign
so no it doesnt encourgage experimentation aog
