What age do you think its O.K. for a child to have an understanding that there are many types of love, Gay Love included? My 9 year old grandaughter has that understanding as she has a few family members that are Gay.

I personally feel that the earlier we educate our children there will be one less child filled with bigotry and hate.....

For the most part I agree with what Leah says here... except that I don't believe children should learn Much about sex until a few years later. it is wrong for them to be introduced to ideas of sex too early. it robs them of innocence & childhood. They should be taught to accept & be kind to all people regardless of their race, gender, or creed. Parents should keep an ear out to find out if other children that have access to your child have introduced any ideas of sex. Parents shouldn't teach them about that unless other children have already introduced it, or when they are close to 14.

I dont mean the nitty gritty's of sex, I mean the natural love that man/man, woman/woman have the same as man/woman.... I hope that makes sence

As soon as they are old enough to understand hetero love. When my daughter was young, I just told her that some women like men & some women like women & the same for men. I made it like it wasn't a big deal. I think 9 is old enough & I think you're a marvelous grandmother for wanting to teach her not to hate

I would say as soon as they are old enough to start noticing such things and asking questions. people often don't think young children are mature enough to understand such adult things, but they are often a lot smarter than we give them credit for.

I remember my ex's five year old niece seeing a straight couple kissing at Sea World and tugging on us to announce that we should be kissing. When I asked why? She pointed at the couple, and innocently replied, "Because you love each other too!" In her eyes, there was no difference...love was love.
