So, we're having a plebiscite. But what's the question? : Comments

By John de Meyrick, published 30/3/2016

The problem is, this issue cannot be answered by just one question. It's an apples and oranges situation trying to be made into a new kind of 'fruit'.

“What should children be taught about homosexuality? That it is part of the normal spectrum of human sexuality, always has been, always will be.”

Children should be taught that these things are opinions held by some people. They are not facts. There is no evidence whatsoever to support these opinions. If they exist then children should be shown that evidence. When you tell kids that things are true you should show them the evidence. That is education and anything else is indoctrination.

“as this is when sexual feelings first begin to manifest, children start to become curious about their bodies and those of others.”

Being curious about their bodies and those of others is natural but it does not mean that such curiosity is a sexual thing. Why would four or five year olds have sexual feelings when they are incapable of doing anything with them? You have sexual feelings in order to move you to have sex – that is how nature continues the species. Sexual feelings have a purpose and that purpose cannot be fulfilled until you are mature enough which is after puberty.

when the people voted against perverting the word marriage in California a few years back the corrupt court in America over ruled the wishes of the people. The regressives then have the nerve to bang on about those who won't accept the result of the plebiscite as if they will. Seems to me the regressives are afraid people might actually think instead of just voting to promote such a destructive lifestyle.

Apparently phanto doesn't know about any of the research either.

Says just what I posted earlier. It's a no brainer. It's only the over protective & people with their own Sexual hang-ups that over react.

I don’t have a problem with any of that but there is a difference between exploring one’s body and having sexual feelings. Sexual feelings are feelings which propel you towards the opposite sex. You find someone attractive and you become aroused to the point where you are ready for sex. You want to have sex. I don’t think four year olds with an erection want to have sex. They might become aroused because of their auto stimulation but that is different than being aroused at the sight of a sexy member of the opposite sex. The normal state is to be not aroused unless there is some stimulation and I think that children are not aroused by members of the opposite sex so it is a different dynamic altogether than auto stimulation.
