    This is why Trump is where he is. Most everyone is TIRED of politicians. They are like car salesmen. So..Trump sits in the White House due to that.

    Funny you should say that because Bill Clinton's Adopted Father (He raised him from a yery young age) was a used car saleman!

    A good one I would assume given Bill's charm.

    I didn't quote any figures in my post so you are mistaken or lying.

    ”Most of the figures in your quote” being the hyperlink you posted.
    When you source a site you are quoting it.

    Sorry this is so confusing for you.

    You forgot the third (and largest) 'subset'. Ordinary, decent kids who have been raised without the presence of homosexuality. The other two subsets are very much the minority. They're not the target audience.

    Well, actually it's done for comedic purposes. Because it's funny.

    1), no. Abstinence ONLY is not a thing. It's always about abstinence UNTIL. There is a world of difference.

    2) You cannot change the world to suit you, but you can change your response to the world as it actually is. In terms of bullies (and bullying outside of violence or physical intimidation is very much in the eye of the beholder - it will be different for everyone), they will always exist, because people will always exist. And individual poor responses to the standard slings and arrows of childhood will always exist to bleat 'bully!'. The ONLY thing you can do, is make certain that you don't raise a kid who makes himself a target. It's very easy to do, so failure of parents to rein in childhood eccentricities and attention seeking is just that, a failure. As parents in such cases of neglect, you are basically responsible for whatever happens to your child as a result.

    3) Since half of that 7% is 'phase' and teenage nonsense, it's actually considerably less in actuality. And no, we don't have to cater to such a small number. Sex ed doesn't currently do classes on Autistic Love, either, but there are plenty of Autistic kids in your average large high school.

    I clearly posted the link saying "here is the story" that I referenced. That you disagree with any of the details in the story is your problem. Of course you posted no evidence with a source to refute any of those details. It must be confusing to you.

    It's ironic because it is the liberals who are typically doing this.

    Prove the 7% is a phase. Again, what percent of the population do you feel is relevant to be discussed? I know people on your side of the fence don’t care if a few kids fall through the crack (or get murdered) but at what percent do they become relevant?

    I wasn’t aware there are additional disease vectors involved in “autistic love”, feel free to share your experiences.

    I would explain to you basic research skills but I don’t believe either of us have that kind of time available.

    I said HALF of that 7%.

    Meantime, Autism is a state of being, just like homosexuality. It expresses itself in human relations, just like homosexuality. Autists are relatively common, yet they get no special sex ed. If they don't it, gay people sure as heck shouldn't get it.

    In our local high school, there is an entire class full of autistic kids, but there isn't enough gay/lesbian kids to make up even half a class. And if you think Autism doesn't present sex-related health risk, you simply don't know enough about the effects of ASD on relating.

    There is no justification for including homosexuality within mainstream sex ed, as long as other iterations of human difference (with impacts on relating) are not addressed equally.

    No one should get sex ed. The idea of the government talking to children about sex is absolutely appalling and I am certain the reason girls are being objectified at a younger and younger age and that silly movements like MGTOW are growing with young men is the very fact that sex ed is now mainstream at God knows what young age.

    I do not even want to imagine what results exposing a 10 year old to "gay sex" would have on their mind.

    Your painfully obvious dodges and lack of sources is amusing.

    Gay youth make up nearly 5 times that of autistic youth

    There was never anyone gay in any of the classes I went to. And, yes. I know this for a fact. The only one I can think of is a tomboy-ish girl next door who was always very "weird" who turned out to be a lesbian. In uni, I met one lesbian too (who was probably faking it for "goodie points"). Apart from those, none.

    Amazing! Iran also has no gay people. And Russia! And the “fact” that you are 100% sure of the sexual proclivities of everyone around you is a great talent sir. Did you major in human sexuality or were you just born psychic?

    I think most people are psychic in this regard.

    I’m sure you do, that would explain your thought process entirely.

    Well of course, that's always the preferred option. I loathe the inclusion of sex ed in education. It has NOTHING to do with literacy and numeracy. It's personal, and is therefore the province of families, and their widely different cultural and personal attitudes about children and exposure to sexuality. And yes, we are in 100% agreement that sex ed causes waaaaay more harm than any 'good' it could possibly do.

    Maybe where you live, but definitely not where I live. And I live in an 'alternative' area, full of arty farty liberal types.

    It's not that there are NO LGBT people, it's that there are very very few, in many places and institutions. Sometimes none. Our local high school has 1200 students, and there would be no more than 7 LGBT kids. Given that at least one or two of them will grow out of it, you'd be lucky if 4 or 5 are certainties. That absolutely does not warrant specific Sex Ed, or in fact any kind of special attention at all. There are FAR more kids with things like Autism, and other 'accident of birth' disabilities. Wheelchairs, missing limbs, hearing impairments, brain injuries, visual impairments, behavioural issues, etc etc etc. These are the kids who need the special attention, and additional focused Sex Ed.
