Default My warm fuzzy of the day.

So as you might know, I've spent the last two weeks as a student teacher at a local primary school. My class was grade 5/6, so the kids are about 11 and 12. I was working with a small group, giving them various statements and asking them to come up with arguments for and against, and somehow we got onto the topic of gay people. And got the following:

"I don't have any problem with gay people, bi people, transvestites, I'm accepting of all of them."
"If my brother said he was gay I wouldn't hate him. I'd give him a coming out party."
"Some people are homophobic but that's stupid."
"People shouldn't get bashed for being gay, it's just who they are."

This is a bunch of preteens. I sincerely hope that more kids out there are like them, and that they keep on feeling the same way

Awwww. That's pretty awesome. I don't remember my peers being that accepting when I was their age.
