Elementary kids and gender & sexuality agenda DO NOT MIX.

But if you try to tell children that a Rainbow is a promise from God to never, ever flood the planet like that again THEN WATCH OUT!

There are protests over the Florida bill banning teachers from teaching kids under third grade gender identity and sexual orientation but neither should be taught in schools at all, including high school and college.

I agree with you as I see the types of (strange) people who are teaching sex education in schools these days. When I grew up, you would have gotten the facts and straight version and not "the agenda" version which seems to point kids in an awkward direction. Adults should never try to confuse young children which is their goal in their presentation. It is wrong in every aspect of good parenting. The protective parents who are showing up at the school meetings are good people and not 'terrorists' as the leftists would have you believe.

When I was 6, I saw a pride flag at a school (not knowing what it meant) and I thought it looked cool (since little kids like rainbows) so I asked my mom what it meant, she said it’s meant to represent friendship. Was this a good choice?

Also I believed this until I was 12.

I think your mother realized that you were too young to understand the concept and tried to protect you from too much info too soon. It is nothing most normal mothers would want introduced to children this young and especially their sons. I would say your mother handled it the best way she knew how to at the time and I think that was quite responsible. You didn't get the total answer until you were older and perhaps you feel she should have told you more but she handled it reasonably and really didn't want to make an awkward conversation with a child too young to understand. It really makes me angry that teachers and adults feel the need to expose this to young innocent minds. They are the ones who created the situation and your mother reacted well and protected you from TMI. She sounds like a good mother.

Your reaction (at 6) was exactly how most kids would react. That is "the reason" these people try to introduce this early, to influence young minds. It was inappropriate then and it is worse now...it is smack right in your face and is very wrong for children. How old are you now?

I’d rather not say my age

I only found out when I saw a bunch of pride stuff in a comment section with rainbow flag emojis.

And little kids are fascinated by rainbows which is normal, most people are, I don’t like that it’s associated with gay people though.

You are so right about kids and their susceptibility to rainbows and colors. Kids need to be kids and not worry about things beyond their years. Gay people can be gay people (live and let live) but they SHOULD NOT push their preferences on children who need to be protected from it. I am totally against the "pride parades" and quite frankly, any parent who thinks this is enlightening and educational for kids should really rethink it.

If you have any questions, I am sure your mother will be able to talk to you now that you are older. It is tough growing up today with the peer group being what it is and all of this crazy stuff thrown at you. Only talk to your parents and people who you can trust. I don't know how trustworthy teachers are today after seeing so many confused souls online. Good luck maneuvering your life. Remember that the ups and downs are normal and the downs are temporary....just wait them out. :)

ight. I am hopping in on this-
I am 15, a pansexual, but also extremely conservative. The movement started off as a valid concern, but grew to what it is now today unfortunately. I realised I am a pansexual (I like all genders) and I still do not agree with everything that is happening now. Biden has lost his frickin mind, along with all the other libtard puppets around him. I advocate for both sides, and keep in mind not all LGBT people are bad. There are people like me.

I don't have a problem with gays or others being who they are....I DO have a problem when young innocent minds are messed with when they should not have to worry about things they are too young to understand. I think we agree on this as conservatives.

I halfway agree with you, but kids have realised from very young ages that they do not feel like their birth gender, despite not knowing what LGBTQ is. It isn't a choice to be gay or transgender, BUT pushing it onto people (like the media is) makes it seem like it is.

You are a conservative, also a pansexual. I respect you and you should absolutely 'be you' and I can 'be me' (heterosexual female) and we can get along just fine. My husband and I have someone we know who is 'gay'. He is 'extremely' successful and a great person. He has mentioned to others, "Don't you think I would choose to be straight if I could?" That was an eye opener statement. So, I would agree with your "It isn't a choice to be gay" comment.

I also agree that there is a concerted push from the media to accept the transgender/gay scenario. The push to influence children's innocent little minds is HUGE. This is the part that worries me as I love children and want to protect them. I can see that you share this concern. That is the conservative part of you coming out and I love that you are in tune with that part of you. It makes you a reasonable and rational person as today the leftists have lost their moral compass.

My husband and I have raised two children, a boy and a girl. We raised them by the Golden Rule...do unto others as you would have them do unto you. We are not religious but totally believe in honesty, integrity, and character. It was very natural for our kids to be who they were....our son, into baseball and our daughter into dolls. We didn't have to deal with the agenda facing parents today with gay pride parades (handing out lube off floats...saw the video today) for "family friendly" events. That is just plain WRONG.

A friend of ours has a son who went through a phase of wanting to wear female clothing when about 4-5 years old, He is happily married today for a few years. Kids may be confused when young but figure it out as they get older. It is unconscionable to force feed them on gay/trans agenda at an early age (much less get a conversion surgery). I think we agree more than we disagree on things, Now-I-Just-Sit-In-Silence...
