Minimize their exposure to what?
You have to realise that your values and beliefs are not the same as mine. What homosexuals do is their business. There choices. Even anal sex has nothing to do with me, other then i know that for Christians it is a sexual sin. I am a pretty compliant Christian, So, I would naturally shield my children from homosexuality until they are old enough to understand, and even then I would show them my aversion to the acts of homosexuals. I would teach them that it is not what God wants. That He sanctified marriage between a man and a woman for the perpetuation of mankind and that a same sex relationship is not Gods design. Whilst I do that I would make sure that they know that it is th sin that is evil and not the sinner.
The fact that gay people exist?
No, what they do. Everyone has the right to exist.
Because for them there is no diversity in sexual orientation. As their parent, and a Christian, that is what I would teach them, because I want them to live a life that will take them to heaven so I would be selective about telling them about things that would give them to much food for thought making them obesely fat. As adults a couple of them do not share my opinion, probably because they are not practicing Christians, but that is fine, I did the best that I could, if that was bigoted or bias then i accept that
about the fact that people come in all different shapes and sizes,
If I did that then I would be lying. I do not believe that homosexuals are born gay, that it may be a factor i am willing to concede to, but even if it were true, we all have free agency to choose for ourselves. Nobody is forced to be gay or straight it is a choice we all make over time
about treating other human beings with compassion and respect?
Tolerance can be both positive and negative. Yes of course that is a fundamental principle. Just because they do not think as we do does not make them unworthy of compassion and respect. We have two good friend who are gay and my children have always treated them with the greatest respect. I do not think that they knew that they were gay.Why would they, why would I even tell them and create an opportunity for them to judge. I do not find it necessary to tell people that I am heterosexual so why do gay find it necessary, at the earliest opportunity to tell us that they are gay?
Stop assuming that all gay people are promiscuous, irresponsible lunatics who are fisting in the woods with twenty different guys while their kids roam around. That’s ridiculous. They’re not feral animals. They’re perfectly capable of being decent, upstanding human beings who can properly care for a child.
I have read different reports that say that a high proportions are that way, especially in the eighties. I see gay parades where they are dressed in provocative attire and acting intentionally seductive for the cameras. I have seen how gay celebrities act and conduct themselves, but I am not tarring them all with the same brush. I do not think that they are all promiscuous, my two elderly friend are most certainly not, however, those that are is usually what we see via the media
It’s another of your outdated arguments anyway, back from the times when gay people had to hide in their closets and meet clandestinely in remote locations so as not to be arrested and incarcerated.
It is not outdated, it is a constant. God, and His commandments, are the same today, tomorrow and forevermore, set in stone. That is what you see in me, a person who strives to keeps Gods commandments,regardless as to the generation I come from. It is the world that has moved away from God to a similar state as Sodom and Gomorrah. As a man, that is a part of the world, your perceptions are influenced by the world, and what you see is the norm in your world is far removed from my perceptions. We live in different worlds. You live in a world that is socially declining and you have been desensitise to what they do and how they act. The simple thing of giving your seat to a lady or the elderly seems to have disappeared. Sex has become a matter of fact act now with both men and women instigating it. Wierd sex has taken centre stage and is openly discussed for everyone to hear. When women go out for an evening they will be looking for someone to sleep with, even though they might not know him. Recreation drugs help to knock down inhibitions so that they can do things that they would not normally do, something that spurned gays on. And on and on. That maybe acceptable to the world, but it is not to me.
I think we’ve grown and matured as a society quite a bit over the last 40 years. We’ve extended much deserved rights to African Americans, to women, to gay people and most other minorities.
This is where our differences become all to apparent. I believe that the polar opposite is true. I believe that we are in the midst of a spiritual Armageddon that is fast approaching the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah. We are experiencing a catastrophic degeneration of our moral values that is resulting in a deluge of anti-social behaviour throughout our society. I understand why you don't see what I see, which is probably because you do not know any different. If you are raised in a society tolerant of sexual perversion then you will accept it as the norm. I grew up in a society that were intolerant to sexual perversion so it is not the norm to me. You and I live in different worlds.
I came across and article called "The Immortality Explosion" quite a long Christian article show the moral decline o our society. Here are a few exerts from someone that speaks my language but will appear foreign to you. This is how most christian think and believe, with the exception of some clergy
The Immorality Explosion!
To some, the world exists in a state that
appears to be improving. Great achievements in science, technology, medicine and economics have led to advancements of every kind imaginable. As problems arise, we
seem unlimited in our ability to solve them. But are we
really solving them? Are the inevitable wounds of advancement being healed by technology?
One area in which knowledge has flourished is that of sex. A plethora of information—and
instruction—is now available. But has it allowed us to make better choices?
No doubt
you can see the depth to which sex permeates society. One can no longer turn on the television without finding a program that has sexual undertones. Magazines are filled with stories, photos and features that would shock those of past generations. There is now also the Internet, offering a veritable buffet of perversions.
Having parents isn’t a burden that children can’t handle. I don’t know why you assume gay parents are having wild sex with random strangers all the time and talking to their children about it.
Society has embraced the concept of political correctness. It allows all people to live their lives however they choose as long as “it doesn’t hurt anyone else.” The “PC” attitude has spawned an era of tolerance that, before our time, was unknown. Everyone and everything is now tolerated—or is it?
Children are supposed to be childlike—innocent—throughout childhood! Sexuality should never even enter their thinking. Yet they are constantly bombarded with—force-fed—images and products that push them to be sexy.
The sexualization of children has spawned a generation of adults who have delved into every perversion under the sun. Relationships have also become twisted and perverted. This has devastated marriages, which are now more likely to end in divorce than not.
A two-parent family is the best and most productive environment in which to raise children who will one day grow into sound, well-rounded adults.
It is ideal when the mother is able to care for her children, while the father provides an income for the family. This helps children to grow up in a happy and stable environment. Children with this foundation have sound male
and female role models.
Same reasons anyone else would want to raise children. My cousin has always wanted a child to care for - being a lesbian doesn't change anything about that.
Sadly, this has all but disappeared. There is such a wide array of “families,” the new “normal” family structure is nearly impossible to define.
It was very different even a few generations ago. Couples would date and get to know each other. Sexual relations would not have been an option until marriage. The idea of living together would have been completely foreign.
What about the concept of two parents of the same gender? How would a child learn to understand the differences between genders and know their roles in society?

A major part of the problem comes from people not understanding or knowing what their roles should be. When you show that there are differences between men and women, many angry and loud voices enter the fray. They usually overpower the one speaking. But understand! Men and women were NOT created equal. We are not the same. This is not to say that men are better or vice-versa, but the simple fact is: Males and females are different.
The concept of homosexuality is neither new nor original. It has existed since ancient times. Near the fall of any dominant society, homosexuality flourished. Be it in Sodom and Gomorra, or ancient Greece, the proliferation of homosexuality has become the great indicator that a society’s days were numbered.
Make no mistake. Homosexuality is wrong and is sin (Lev. 18:22; 20:13; Deut. 23:17-18; I Cor. 6:9; I Tim. 1:10; Jude 7). God Himself calls it an abomination. It is unnatural and mocks the very concept of marriage and reproduction. It is clear what God teaches about homosexuality. In no way would He create someone as homosexual. It must be a learned behavior. The road it has taken in modern society has changed it from criminal, to a mental disorder, to a celebrated and encouraged “lifestyle.” Never has a subsection of society seen such sweeping changes and acceptance in such a short period.
Nevertheless, the survival of homosexuality also links it to other perversions—such as pedophilia. A 1998 study showed that 86% of pedophiles described themselves as homosexual. In fact, the
Encyclopedia of Homosexuality verifies, “that until very recently man/boy love relationships were accepted as a part, and indeed were a major part, of male homosexuality.” The links continue: Alan Bell and Martin Weinberg found that 25% of white gay men have had sexual relations with boys under age 16.
This is obviously not to say that all homosexuals look to corrupt children, but historically, when taken as a whole, the man-boy relationship has been prevalent.
And as shocking as it may seem, schools are helping to promote this! In just the last year, various organizations have begun to promote curricula with increasing success. Schools all across the country have begun to teach children
how to be homosexual—be it by cross-dressing, reading about homosexual relationships or even booklets teaching
children what sodomy involves.
Many times, such programs are delivered to children without parental knowledge. Again, do you know if your children are being taught any of the following popular courses?:
