With the greatest respecto to you, I guess you may have homophobic tendencies May I qualify that.

As a parent myself, with two children, one of whom (the older one), is now married in a hetero-sexual relationship, I allowed the brevity for my children to read what they like - within reason! My only caution was to steer my children away from dodgy websites that showed porn of one sort or another - If they went there behind my back then I didn't know about it!


Books are another matter. I've found several books in my son's room (relating to teenage boys exploring their sexuality with each other). I firmly believe that boys or girls have to work out where they stand from a sexual standpoint, so long as they are not coerced into a given stance by an older person (for instance to show 'them' to be the leading light on a given subject).

An older person in this example, might be pushing a boy or girl to go down that older person's proclivity of choice and if that older person is using it for their own ends - it is wrong. It makes that older person no better or worse than a paedophile.

Homosexuality I've come to believe, is as natural as being a heterosexual or bisexual - so long as they are above the age of consent. Naturally, as teenagers, we all 'experiment' to a greater or lesser degree, and at some point we set our own choices in our development of ourselves.

That choice is of no concern to the Government or anyone else, be they a religious minister or a parent. We may not like their choices, but its what makes our children who they are - unique!


I hope this discussion wasn't too heavy??
