Blacks can pretend they have had an exclusive on dehumanized treatment by a society at large but it simply isn't so.
The the dehumanization that comes with being segregated or treated as property, homosexuals whole existence from birth is in a heteronormative world.
The children don't know they'll face the challenge of a homosexual orientation when they're being taught gender roles, about mothers and fathers, boys and girls, family life and so forth.
Puberty arrives and they find themselves either not becoming attracted to the opposite sex like their peers and muddle along hoping it will happen or, more terrifyingly, they are inexplicably attracted to their same gender.
They don't want to be different, they have no path to follow because they've always been shown the heteronormative lifestyle. Who can they talk to? Parents who they don't want to disappoint? Peers who taught one another with pejoratives like "fag" or "sissy" which they suddenly realize describes the orientation they fear is why they aren't fitting in to the mold set forth in the prior 12, 15, 17 years?
It is no wonder suicide is a serious problem with children who find themselves facing this issue.
They must be treated with dignity and compassion. We should not fear exposing our progeny to the true fact that such people exist in our world. If you want to keep them from being susceptible to be "recruited" by insecure, radical, promiscuous gays you have to give them the tools to face this challenge and the reassurance you will do your level best to be a loving, caring parent in whatever personal challenge they face be it the heartbreak of first love, death of a friend, an adolescent's lapse in judgment, a serious illness or the fate's cruelty of a homosexual orientation.
