July 11 can't come fast enough!!
That's about the age kids learn about racial tolerance, gender tolerance, etc. Why would teaching kids about lgbt tolerance be any different?

it might not be important to actively instruct the lil skippers on lgbt "tolerance" but It's essential to not teach them intolerance and disrespect or model hateful or ignorant behaviour.

Why not simply teach your kids tolerance for everyone?
Why not just teach your kids the right thing, provide them a positive platform for education?
More intelligent people seem to be the more liberal minded folks. They are able to draw rational conclusions to societal issues.

Lemmi guess, you were watching UFC Unleashed and Aldo was fighting Mendes and you decided to put your one penny in. The rest of what you said, was literally complete nonsense.

Tolerance is not needed to be taught , if u don't teach hate and prejudiceness. i dont have to tell my kids to be nice to black, gay, asian, ect, cause I have gave them no reason to dislike them.
Hate is taught, Love is not.

Our sentiments to a tee , my wife has a Masters in teaching & a degree in early child development so she decided when to say what , I think we explained when they were 7 or 8 but they were asking questions & we never lied to them or withheld info.From them .
The more info a child has about the world & people in general the better man he will be according to my wife , all 3 of our son's turned out just fine & the 2 surviving son's are fair well adjusted family oriented married men with kids of their own now .

I think most kids are mostly worried about "the cooties" at 5 to 10 years young
much less gay relations.

True , very true but when you take your kids to public places where they see gay & lesbian couples & ask questions you have 2 options , the 1st is to lie to them & set a precedent of untruthfulnes with your child .
Or you explain in a simple way where they can understand it's just people living their lives different from us , being that our family is different from most they understood the basics without getting into a sexuality discussion .

Actually I think he was agreeing with me.

That's the truth. I myself had made the statement being gay is wrong. I never hated gay people and it never really bothered me. In a debate on this site I started to wonder why I had made that statement.
The bottom line is it was something that was said to me over the years even at a young age.
I have let that go. I have three kids. I teach them to say yes sir, no sir, yes mam, no mam, please and thank you. They are being taught responsibility at a young age. They have not been taught hate.
I wonder how to approach this subject and when asked I will say to be tolerant. I guess I will do the same, teach no hate and they will not learn it and answer questions as they come.

I agree if they ask they are old enough to understand.
Like your wife said "The more info a child has about the world & people in general the better man he will be".
We should answer as many questions as we can.

T? Hello no. There's no way kids that age can understand the concept. Nor should they be asked to try.
LGB? IMO, no. Not at that young age.

lol, so.. what was the point of distinguishing between 'T' and 'LGB' if you oppose them both?
Why can't a kid understand "the concept of transgender" between the ages of 5-10?
"Sometimes a person is born and they feel like their outside doesn't match their inside, and that's OK. If you feel that way it's nothing to be ashamed of and if you meet somebody that feels that way there's nothing wrong with them"
Why wouldn't a kid be able to understand that?
