How does allowing gay marriage have anything to do with education?

Why do so many people state that their child will be taught about gay marriage in school if gay marriages were legal?





I don't recall hearing this argument nearly as frequently when civil unions became legal.How does allowing gay marriage have anything to do with education?
It doesn't, Those are all lies just to get gay marriage banned..because their only real argument is ';the bible';..and they know it wont work, because of separation of church and state...so they start making up fake reasons as to why gay marriage should be banned! It's truly sickening...The reason prop 8 was passed was because people actually believed what the people were saying about gay marriage.,,How does allowing gay marriage have anything to do with education?
they kinda will. u learn about sex ed in school and they usually start off with a male and female getting married. kids of same sex couples will say they want to see couples like their parents getting kids and stuff, u kno wut i mean?

Gay had A LOT to do with education... what the heck are you talking about!?

I went to a public school. We learned about blacks whites hispanics asians slavery war etc. Never one mention of gay people, positive or negative. In sex ed, there was nothing included about gays or lesbians creating an environment of learning, nuturing, and understanding.Where was our support?

I don't really understand that argument either. I know Christians are all worried about their kids getting taught that being gay is acceptable, and while it's not like that's a bad thing anyway, the thing is, we don't learn about STRAIGHT marriage in school either. They're just pulling at straws.

Okay, let's put it down right now. If we have gay teachers or gay marriage is legalized that doesn't mean they'll be teaching your children about gay people and what they do! Thats ridiculous! Just because you ban them from our schools or keep them from marrying, doesn't mean they'll stop being gay

Besides no one is getting hurt in sex ed learning about a man and a woman. They'll teach as normal. I'm sure the gay children or their gay parents won't be affected by their child learning about sex. We are not teaching about gay OR straightpersonal life, were informing them about STDs and pregnancy

im bi so im all for gay marriage


however many parents are concerned because they consider being gay and gay marriage to be wrong and schools would have to teach that sex is between two people not between a man and a woman and also that marriage is simply between two people not a man and woman. and then dont want their children taught that.


hope i helped.


:)
where would be the harm in teaching kids about gay marriage? i promise you, the species would perpetuate as normal whether they taught this or not.





my answer to you is it has nothing to do with anything, just the usual paranoia exhibited by the religious extremists of any creed.
tsk tsk people are so scared these days about that stuff! you should be able to love who you want to love, and not be judged, like come on banning gay marrige is stupid! there is like 4 states that dont :|. i dont think any provinces of canada have pheww, good thing i live in canada. plus your child is going to find out about gay marrige some day! :S!!!!!! its so stupid how people are scared of gay's!
i learned marrage and sex by my parents that is how it should be


also never even heard of civil union


and if MARRIGE is a CRISTIAN value explain how my parents got married by an orthodox rabbi at a temple.





please answer my question too

For the same reason that if two people of the same sex who love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together get married people will develop a sudden passion to marry a herd of goats
yes, i agree with the first poster. it's a scare tactic. many parents are afraid that if they teach same-sex marriage in school then many children will become gay :$





kinda stupid but whatever.
Funny thing is when I was at school I wasn't taught about blatant bigotry then again we never learnt about marriages either.
It doesn't.





I guess in CA the people whom wanted to vote YES on prop 8 had more funding for smear ad's.
Its just weird twisted logic. I don't recall being taught about marriage at all in school.
ironically most kids I know are 100% fine with gay people
It doesn't.
It really doesn't. That's a scare tactic.
it don't that's the sad part
