The really sad part is that the argument made by parents of, "I want to be the one to talk to my children about sex/homosexuals" generally comes from the people who are already bigoted towards gays. The thing that irks me is that I understand and can appreciate their situation & request but at the same time, children are a lot more knowledgeable than given credit for and are understanding issues at earlier ages.

It took me almost 10 years to realize I was as attracted to men as women (looking back I saw suggestions in myself as early as 8 years old). I was lucky in that I had some characters to look up to such as Willow in Buffy the Vampire Slayer but such characters were few and far between precisely because parents tried to speak for everybody instead of themselves.
