I understand wha...I have an opinion (imagine that). I understand what you are saying about teaching tolerance and such, but I also think that H and K are too young to comprehend what you are trying to say. It is almost the equivalent of trying to sit a child down and tell them about sex. The thing about "that age that they are" is when you turn them on to what is perceived as a "mean" word, they are highly likely to use it inappropriately and at inappropriate times. So, I like Wendy's approach. Brendan understands what gay means, but I would NEVER try to explain it to Destiny...I guess it really all depends on the kid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-12445068438620403832007-04-29T12:47:00.000-05:002007-04-29T12:47:00.000-05:00Wow, I sound so smart when I am quoted. ;)Wow, I sound so smart when I am quoted. ;)Giftie Etceterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11353862141419399333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-485463567947715412007-04-29T12:42:00.000-05:002007-04-29T12:42:00.000-05:00"It's important that Ander understand that these g...<B><I>"It's important that Ander understand that these guys are committed, just as Mommy and Daddy are, and that society doesn't let them marry, and that Mommy at least thinks that is wrong. It's important that if he hears the word gay used in a derogatory way, he learns to stand up and defend people who aren't there to defend themselves. It's important that he go beyond mere tolerance to acceptance and respect."</B></I><BR/><BR/>Amen to that!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
