Don't Say Gay?

[Destro]

As someone who has been on the edges of what people consider a normal school age time, I can tell you that the more you try to keep from children for your own personal prejudices will turn them back ten fold. You can be honest, real and factual with kids and still present your ideals and beliefs in that framework. Once they learn the truth and facts you choose to ignore or hide, you will become untrustworthy and should they rebel, the only thing you taught them was their parents are full of sh**. There are reasons many children change things about themselves once they get to college.

If you are indeed correct and show your children the benefit to them and the world of "your ways," chances are they will gravitate towards that. Once you decide your opinions are facts, you loose credibility and respect.
