Whose to Decide

Prompt: http://litmuse.net/prompt_rights


As a heterosexual male, I would be hesitant to take my young child to school to find out that they have a homosexual teacher. A persons sexual preference should be their own choice, but I feel that there would be a major distraction in my child's learning process. Elementary kids are way to young at that age to know what gay is. In high school and college, I don't really see a problem with having a gay teacher. Because at that age, in my opinion, you are old enough to fully understand the meaning of homosexual, or at least have a general understanding. But at that young age they don't know what gay means, and that could have an effect on if a kid considers becoming gay in the future.

I really think that at the tender age of 7 or 8, my child wouldn't need to be questioning his or her sexuality. And I wouldn't want my child to grow up thinking gay is right. I have nothing against gay people at all, but I would prefer my child to go the correct route.

I feel that there's a time and a place to do everything, and if my child did have a gay teacher, then they would act in a mature adult manner and save their homosexual life for after school hours. With the issues going on today with homosexuals, that would cause problems in the school system. And whose to say when some teacher that you've known for such odd years are going to come out the closet and admit that their gay and have been for a while now.

So I mean its hard to say these days. Many people didn't think that their beloved Pastor, who have been teaching them the word from the man above couldn't possible be gay and look what happened. Being gay has become some what of a trend and some a couple of people close to me have come out and admitted to being gay. And I am homophobic in a sense, so did I turn my back and disown that person, no but Ive keep my distance. Homosexual females I'm not worried about, but males worry me a bit. But gay is gay and straight is straight and as long as each side respects the others decision its all good.
