This thread is really the pits of PistonHeads.

Some of the responses could be genuine quotes from Putin himself.

I am surprised people seem to think that 10 year olds don't know LGBT stands for.

Really? I have a 10 y.o. granddaughter, and I’d be very surprised if she knows what LGBT stands for, her 15 y.o. brother, I’d be surprised if he didn’t know.
There again, I am a veritable dinosaur, so what do I know?

"Research an inspirational LGBT person, and create a fact file about them, and why you find them inspirational".

I would be tempted to choose a historical figure of some sort - Caesar, Ramesis II, Wellington.

I'd do it on Dale Winton personally myself. Who here didn't like supermarket sweep and as far as gays come you could take him home to your mum and they'd get on like a fking house on fire.

I for one absolutely detested Supermarket Sweep, and I’d have felt the same, even if it had been presented by John Wayne, Jean-Claude Van Damme, or Clint Eastwood.
As for taking Winton home, my mum was born in 1918, my dad in 1914, in the more than extremely unlikely event that I’d have taken him to my mum’s house, her first thought would have been, “That’s my Frankie, he loves to wind me up.”
Then she’d have said, “For Christ’s sake lose the fairy, your father’ll be home soon.”
Funny thing was, in her eighties, she was at my house when a gay couple, who we regularly drank with in our local, dropped by to split a couple of bottles of wine with my wife and I.
She was all over them like a cheap suit, “What a couple of diamonds, a pity more of your mates haven’t got the good manners of Leo and Ken!”

Justin Fletcher is a ubiquitous presenter of preschool kids tv and he just loves dressing up

Its down to the parents to teach kids whether to be tolerant of others or not.

What about the LGBT kids of intolerant parents? Your way they grow up confused and hating themselves, as opposed to being accepted by their peers and themselves, if not their parents.

This thread has inspired me to make a BLT

Well, in general, that's the actual topic in society and globally, and I think that's good there are discussions and tasks to enlighten youngsters.
You will be surprised at the mess of info that will snowball this generation at the college, and the assignments they will have to complete.
