(In case you haven't seen my posts on this topic before, I am of the opinion that homosexuality is not wrong. It's not a sin. God doesn't care about it. The Bible is wrong about it. Just as wrong as it was about eating shellfish being a sin, or mixing types of thread in clothing, requiring parents to have their kids killed if they were disobedient. People made up a lot of things and attributed it to God, back then as they do today. IMO!  ) |
You have the right to be wrong. And your opinions don't hurt my children--because by the time they are adults, I will have thoroughly educated them in what scripture has to say on the issue (and many others), the infallibility of God's Word, and what foundation their life should be built upon--the Word of God.
However, being exposed to open sinful acts can be harmful to small psyches, and I intend to protect the
innocence of my children as long as possible. They will learn about immorality soon enough, without having to stumble upon fornication, homosexuality and effeminence in their school. (as well as many other sinful actions)
I prefer for this home to be a haven from the world, as well as an environment that supports healthy exploration, education and enrichment. We do not need corrupt influences in order to turn out well-rounded children. In fact, the BIBLE says that evil communications corrupt good manners. Exposing an immature child to evil influences seems like a bad idea to me.
The job of a parent is to equip their child with tools--not push them into battle to get actual
experience (often before they even have sword in hand.)
So, being exposed to sin in a graphic nature IS harmful to children, IMO. Especially when it is given no context by a mature adult. Preferably that adult will be a parent who cares about the child, and wants to instill moral values and character, rather than a political agenda.
