- And I say, again, that describing a fact != teaching a social value.
- Homosexuals exist..always have, always will..this can be taught without
- passing judgement. You, unfortunately, want to make sure that kids know
- that while it may exist, it's *wrong*.

- This is a surprising attitude, even for a Xian. I suspect you are
- either (not) dealing with someone close to you who killed themselves, or
- are passing yet another moral judgement.
- BTW, be sure and display this benevolence to the parent(s) of a gay
- teenager who has just killed themselves. "I think your 16-year-old just
- didn't have the guts to deal with life". Incredible.
