A Christian man phones Dennis Prager’s radio show July 11, 2008: “I am a stay at home father. I have three young girls I stay home with. My wife has developed several friendships at work with individuals who are homosexual. I am concerned about inviting these friends into my home because of the example they might set for my children.”<\/p>\n
Dennis: “You don’t have to worry. Unless they are exhibiting publicly erotic affection, I see zero issue. There is no reason for the kids not to see that. I’ll only be curious at a later age when they should be aware that such people exist and can be wonderful people. I see zero problem. In our extended family, we have a wonderful lesbian couple and they come over as often as possible.”<\/p>\n
Father: “It may interfere with teaching my children that we disaprove of that lifestyle.”<\/p>\n
Dennis: “The issue isn’t lifestyle, it’s specific acts. The children are not aware of a lifestyle, they are aware of two friends of the same sex coming over.”<\/p>\n
“The notion of distinguishing, especially in these areas, between the sin and the sinner is also an important lesson for your children.”<\/p>\n
I heard Orthodox rabbi Yosef Kanefsky speak about this<\/a>:<\/p>\n The rabbi says that there is an age for children to learn about homosexuality and if you go earlier, it just won\u2019t make any sense for them.<\/p>\n The rabbi talks about a junior at a yeshiva \u201cwhen the Proposition 8 issue cropped up about a year and a half ago, he heard all kinds of things being said, including awful disgusting things, including from faculty members, and he stood alone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Christian man phones Dennis Prager’s radio show July 11, 2008: “I am a stay at home father.
