    my school, my church, and my parents never talked about gay stuff and then I became a full-blown gay.

    I’m living testimony that you can’t just catch it from the air.

    Did you watch Sesame Street? Apparently that can cause it too along with "subliminal" messaging from Disney.

    elementary schoolers aren’t being taught “sexuality”. they’re just taught that some people are different from them and that’s okay! some kids have two dads or two moms and that’s awesome!

    they’re not “ learning sexuality”. They learn about their own bodies and how it may change. I was taught pretty rudimentary in elementary and a bit more in depth in fifth grade. Some kids go through puberty earlier than others and learning this early can help them understand in general. And it’s proven to be a protective measure against sexual abuse.

    While I still think, if you have to learn in school what being gay means, you are not consuming enough pop-culture during childhood^^. I learned about lesbians from Sailor Moon and about gays from the telenovela that was running back then, and therefore it felt just normal.

    parent

    Because it’s scientifically proven that teaching a generation of kids about drugs without proper education leads to more drug addicts of that age. Or teaching them about sex without proper education leads to a oversexualized culture and loss of intimacy with the same generation.

    So teaching people about gay/lesbian/trans people without proper education leads to a false sense of self that they should also partake in those groups rather than learning what actually makes an lgbtq person.

    what does “proper education” mean in any of these scenarios? what sources are you using?

    parent root
    2 points pixie_pie

    Probably none. As over sexualisation usually comes from repression and not established boundaries e.g. the fetishisation of minors. Sometimes people mistake bodies or body parts that are not covered or talking about sex as a sexualised society.

    Because wanting proper education is sexualizing what exactly? Smells like guilty conscience

    Yeah, I don't see it either. Being secretive, hindering people educating themselves is the breeding ground for what they're trying to prevent.

    1 points angry_sloth2048

    Proper education means the opposite of a 1 day long course on sexual activity at 4th grade like everyone I know had. a 2 month long course on what sexual activity does to the human body, the brain, and your mentality on sexual activity.

    You act like we were taught properly when it was far from what we should have been taught. The danger of STDs and how they actually form. Not just the symptoms but where it comes from and how not using protection, having too much sexual intercourse, and hopping between sexual partners is severely dangerous.

    You wonder why abortion is such a huge problem, it’s because we weren’t taught how dangerous pregnancy is and why the idea of sex for fun causes far more issues with pregancy than any intimate relationship really does. Sex is a means for dopamine and not a means of intimacy.

    Or logically about straight couples. Teachers wouldn't be allowed to say they're married, and 95% of all literature needs to be tossed from schools.

    Accepting of others? They're kids they do that naturally. You got kids? Isn't going to do anything? Then keep that shit away from them. Again, simple.
