Is My Child Too Young To Learn About Being Gay? | Tim Ramsey

This is 4 years old and I guess the person speaking is from England. But this is a great talk. It covers so much of what I want to say. It explains why the don’t say gay laws that in so many red states are so dangerous and harmful. Please take 13 minutes and 41 seconds to learn about this issue, learn why it is so important to gay kids to see themselves in the surrounding society, and that yes there are gay kids, even young kids that know they are different, know they are gay, and are scared / worried about it that need support with love. I love the question he asks, when was your child too young to learn about being straight? Because from birth all around them kids see straight couples and symbols of being straight in society. The same with gender, the haters say they don’t want the children to be taught gender in schools as they claim it sexualizes them. But society is structured around gender. We learn it from birth with nursery colors, types of toys, and the clothing we are put in. Hugs. Scottie
