Hi, ]
I'm a Mom of 2 girls 7 & 11 and I hate the way young kids at their school tease each other with words like you're gay, lesbian or fag. Is it because as parents some don't teach their children that it's wrong?? My brother was also gay(now passed) so this is a particular pet peeve for me.
I feel this is the biggest prejudice left in our society today. I mean you never hear someone say "you're HETEROSEXUAL". I remember the first time my daughter got told by a boy down the street "you're gay"! She was is grade 2 at the time and I thought for a second, is she old enough to talk about this. I was so frustrated that this nasty boy put me is the position of whether to explain or not. So I sat her down and explain that some people are like mommy and daddy who love each other and some people like 2 men or 2 women love each other the same way and that means they are quote "gay". Then I told her that kids like him use those words to make others feel bad and that she should never do the same.
Everyday my girls say they hear someone's called those names and I know it's like that every where. I wish there was a way to stop it.
