By all means parents should be the ones who tell their children about homosexuality.
To many there is still no conclusive evidence that this is anymore than a lifestyle chosen by those who want to be different. There seems to be an epidemic in this day of time and I wonder as a parent why that is. When I was growing up in the fifties and sixties no one ever came out and said they were homosexual. If they were no one knew it. Very few came out when my own children were growing up.

Why the big surge of numbers now? I believe it is because more and more is being told about it with explicit pictures on TV and too many are experimenting with it. It is being accepted by too many and chosen as away of life. It was wrong centuries ago and it is wrong today.

Today parents are more open in talking with their children and I don't think when the time is right for them that there will be any problem in explaining it. For those who believe it is sin it should be shared with their children as sin, and schools will not do that. It must be parents who teach the children.
