It's not confusing if you just remove the premise you're trying to assume. One of those displays has been a given in our culture for as far back as recorded history, the other is something new that is being imposed from above with unknown, potentially detrimental effects. So suspicion is warranted.

> One of those displays has been a given in our culture for as far back as recorded history, the other is something new that is being imposed from above with unknown, potentially detrimental effects. This is patently and demonstrably false. Numerous cultures and societies have happily tolerated homosexuality. Again, what is being "pushed" on kids? What are you suspicious of? I don't understand why you don't want to answer a very basic question.

  I thought I did answer the question. But to be clear, what is being pushed on children is that homosexuality is normal and healthy with the subtext that they should experiment with it. I am suspicious of the claim that it is those things and that the claimants are doing nothing more than promoting tolerance.

    > is that homosexuality is normal and healthy It is. > with the subtext that they should experiment with it. This is purely something you've invented, whole cloth, out of nothing. No one is suggesting kids experiment with any sexual behavior in elementary school, and the belief that telling your child that "Jane has two mommies" is encouraging your kid to hook up with their same sex friend is absolutely as patently absurd as the notion that telling your child "Jane has a mommy and a daddy" is encouraging them to hook up with an opposite-sex friend.

      Telling young people that it's normal and healthy is by it's nature an encouragement to experiment with it. The people pushing this do not want to talk about that. Saying that I've invented that is just an attempt to mask it.

        Does telling young people about heterosexual couples encourage heterosexual sex? I've never seen an abstinence curriculum that avoids mentioning the existence of heterosexual couples. The fact of the matter is that homosexuality isn't learned, it is something that people inherently feel.
