As to your first paragraph...

>PEW Research is a 501.3.c organization that takes no policy position at all...it just collects facts and reports on them...it is very well respected, so your assumption is your own, unless you can come up with evidence to the contrary...btw, the Gallup Poll reports very similar results on this issue...in their 2020 report they found 69% of U.S. Catholics found same sex marriage to be valid. I mention Catholics because this site has the name of a Catholic university on it, and many alumni who are Catholic...not unreasonable for me to cite such a poll...nonetheless, even the majority of that faith are accepting of homosexuals...even to the point of same sex marriage...which puts folks like you in the 'minority'.

>As to my own parish, you actually know nothing about it...you only have MY posts which say nothing about any teachings there...not sure why you make up such an unsupported statement...any debate you want to have...you have it with me and my beliefs.

Your second paragraph...and, actually your third as well, since they blend together...

>You agree that "at some age", it is appropriate for teachers to broach the subject of homosexuality...in as "Objective" a manner as possible, is what I'm hearing from you...if so, I full agree with you. This is where parents and teachers need to get together...perhaps have a 'demo run' through a hypothetical class experience, before there is an agreement on the content and methodology proposed by the school board, thus ensuring there is no "Indoctrination" taking place. Each (and every) district can and should have this discussion, but at the end of the day, the topic needs to be addressed...for ALL grades in that district...there's probably no need for it at the "K" level, or even Grades 1 and 2...although a discussion on the matter should be held...for me, I leave it to the teachers and parents to work this out.

>You make another totally unsubstantiated statement that I "... want the kids totally removed from their parents when it comes to social issues. "...you are free to do a search that supports that accusation...but you won't be successful...please stop making stuff up...it certainly doesn't help your credibility.

Thus far I'm reading that you agree with school districts being able to allow teachers to educate students on homosexuality...and we both agree that parents are an essential part of that process...once agreement on content and methodology has been reached, it is in everyone's best interest to see that the issue is addressed in the school setting...agreed?

So, if this is what we've come to, then we should also agree that Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill is contrary our views on how the topic should be handled, and should be rejected...correct?
