Gwyneth Paltrow: what’s wrong with second graders learning about homosexuality?

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is thrilled that her second-grade daughter is learning about homosexuality.

June 13, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, a top gay rights proponent in Hollywood, is thrilled that her second-grade daughter is learning about homosexuality.

In her newsletter GOOP, the Iron Man actress says that when her daughter came home with news about a classmate’s lesbian parents, she was enthusiastic.

“When my daughter came home from school one day saying that a classmate had two mommies, my response was, ‘Two mommies? How lucky is she?!’” she wrote.

Paltrow went on to question how Arkansas school board member Clint McCance, who apologized for publishing a death-wish against homosexuals on Facebook, could base his objection to the homosexual lifestyle on the teachings of the Bible.

“This concept, while foreign to me, is interesting, as it used to justify so much judgement and separation in our society,” wrote Paltrow. “What does it actually say in the bible that will cause some people to be upset by my line of thinking?”

The post was followed by the opinions of several religious voices favorable to homosexuality, including an Episcopal priest and priestess and a Kabbalah practitioner, who dismissed the Bible’s prohibitions as anachronistic or inconsistent with other teachings.

One dissenting opinion, by Anglican clergyman John Stott, outlined the prohibitions against homosexuality in the Old and New Testaments and explained, “The negative prohibitions of homosexual practices in Scripture make sense only in the light of its positive teaching in Genesis 1 and 2 about human sexuality and heterosexual marriage.”

While Paltrow once explained her daughter Apple’s unusual name as a “Biblical” choice, she has rejected any ties to the Judaeo-Christian religious tradition. “I don’t believe in religion. I believe in spirituality. Religion is the cause of all the problems in the world,” she told MSN’s Woman’s Day in March 2010.

Okay Gwyneth.... Let's teach your second grader about homosexuality. The high rates of STDs; the AIDs epidemic; the physical assault of lesbians against each other; the horrific gruesomeness of the gay serial killers; the murder of one's pick up early in the morning because the murderer doesn't want the fellow he picked up to leave; the use of pederasty as a mode of reproduction; ect.; ect.

At least if the percepts above are taught your second grader and others will be learning the truth.

Gwyneth? Would you approve of that?

Here I go again. So-called homosexuals don’t really have sex because you need two sexes to have sex. Sex about combining and mixing genes for reproduction. So-called homosexuals have orgasms. How do you explain this to a second-grader who has never had an orgasm?

If the basis of family is a whoopee team, why not three mommies, one daddy, a horse, a turtle, a Great Dane, and some sadomasochism paraphernalia?

She’s just a dumb blonde. It just goes to show that being beautiful isn’t everything.

Besides the moral implications (it's sin...Duh! Play by God's rules, or live a horrible, miserable life.), homosexuality is, through the use of parts against their design, biologically icky. The amount of bacteria involved in the exchange of fluids makes me recoil when a server at a restaurant speaks with a swish in his voice. And mental? How about the sheer numbers of gays and lesbians and trannies and whatnots that are in therapy, need to be in therapy, or are taking drugs to make themselves feel better. Or the numbers who are depressed, who take illegal drugs, or who are involved in abusive relationships.

Geez, Paltrow, pull your head out. Homosexuality is a losing proposition, in all its forms. And you want to push THAT on 2nd graders???? Wotta joik...

Religion is the cause of all the problems in the world No, Miss Paltrow, LACK of religion is the cause. You might want to check your facts and read about Stalin, Hitler, and Pol Pot before making ignorant, cookie-cutter responses.

2nd graders shouldn’t be learning about sexuality period, homo or otherwise.

I’ve never thought Paltrow was cute, maybe just barely attractive. Unfortunately, she inherited her dad’s looks rather than her mom’s, who was ‘cute’ in her day. Worse, she seems to have inherited the vacuous Hollywood gene.

A few quotes from Gwyneth Paltrow, genius:

"I think George Bush is such an embarrassment to America in the way that he doesn't take the rest of the world into consideration...it all seems to be for him and his friends to keep getting richer at the expense of a nation, at the expense of the environment. It's like a full-scale assault on the environment."

"At the moment there's a weird, over-patriotic atmosphere over there [in America] , like, "We're Number One and the rest of the world doesn't matter."

"Brits are far more intelligent and civilized than Americans."

If any FReeper puts a single nickel in this quisling's pocket from now on by attending one of her America-hating movies, they should go to DU and stay there.

‘Two mommies? How lucky is she?!’” she wrote.

"Fondled by a nice man in a car? How lucky are you, sweetie?"

Uggghhh.

Doesn’t this come under the laws of pornography for children. Will this make the teachers pedophiles?

Listen Gwynneth, sweetie. Why don’t you learn to cook before you write simpleminded cookbooks? And after you were diagnosed with brittle bone syndrome, why do you continue to lecture people on the joys of veganism? In other words, why don’t you just shut up?

"what’s wrong with second graders learning about homosexuality?"

How about everything. In fact, second-graders don't want or need to learn about anything sexual at their age -- it's not even on their radar. When I was eight years old, racing my bike down the hill, climbing trees, and building forts were the sole interest of my friends and I. We knew there were differences between genders; so what? Who cares? Who wants to play football?

Once again we see a lefty whackjob who's detachment from reality has them operating out of fantasyland, to the detriment of everyone. Including, ultimately, themselves.

Hey Gwyneth tell your 2nd grader that homosexual men die at an alarming rate from aids.

Tell your 2nd grader that she wouldn’t be born if the world was homosexual.
