New guidance lines are being promoted by the United Kingdom Government, produced initially by the homosexual lobby group Stonewall and officially launched yesterday by Schools Secretary, Ed Balls, in which teachers are being told, amongst other things, that they should not assume that pupils in their charge have a 'Mum' and a 'Dad', but that schooldchildren as young as four-years of age should be made familiar with the concept of children coming from a same-sex relationship background as opposed to the conventional 'Family' background and therefore refer only to 'Parents'.
The suggestions continue along the lines that when discussing marriage with secondary school pupils, the teachers should also ensure that they promote the concept of same-sex civil partnerships and the adoption of children by homosexual and lesbian couples.
The advice to teachers is to challenge every derogatory use of the word 'gay' in order to help avoid homophobic attitudes. Of course, if you come from an era in which the word 'gay' meant 'happy and joyful' then you would already see the current popular use of the word as being derogatory in one sense. In fact I have personally always wondered why the use of a word meaning happy and joyful should be applied to a section of the community which is so often far from it for a variety of reasons. After all, I do not think that seeking out men for casual sex in public toilets, for example, could possibly be described as gay in the original sense!
For too long people have been bullied by the minority into a forced submission of accepting habits which are aquired rather than genetically inspired. Sex is one of the most powerful urges known to mankind, and the more that a person of either sex experiments with it then the more they can develop habits which are devaint to the generally accepted norm.
Of course, this post is totally politically incorrect, but then it seems that the truth invariably is these days. Let me make my own stance patently clear. Every person has the right to live their live in the style and manner which they choose to do, provided that it does not impinge on the chosen lifestyle of others, particularly in a manner which might be construed in any sense as threatening. This means that, as far as I am concerned, those who choose to live a homosexual lifestyle must be free to do so, and their choice should command exactly the same level of respect due to anyone else. After all, I expect my choice of lifestyle to be respected, so how can I expect that for myself if I am not prepared to promote it for others too? However, I believe that we should live according to God's laws, and so that is my lifestyle choice. Nobody should berate me in any way for making that choice. Part of our choice as adults, particularly as parents and grandparents, is to ensure that our children grow up learning about the norms of human society. Once they are older then they will be able to make carefully investigated choices regarding any deviations from those norms.
If homosexual or lesbian couples wish to enter into a civil ceremony in order to define their relationship for legal purposes then that is their right, and it can be seen as a good thing. However, to pretend that the civil ceremony is a marriage is ridiculous. Marriage is God-given, that a man and woman be joined together for the purpose of the procreation of children. The physical union of two people of the same sex cannot produce a child.
To promote the dispensation of homosexual and lesbian lifestyle literature to children is, I believe, totally wrong, and is totally against the Christian ethos of marriage and family relationships.
