Of these things listed in the poll, which one do you think is the biggest threat to the safety and well being of your kids, grand kids, or children that are close relatives to you?
 
Family and friends....particularly if they are with WBC or Scientology.

Themselves.

I was going to say swimming pools but Family members and Relatives is my next guess.
 
A silly, self-serving poll. Greatest threat in what category? There are many, many threats to children greater than any mentioned in this pro-homosexual poll.
 
Family members, relatives, and close family friends....statistically speaking.
 
Well, there wouldn't be any gay adults my child would be "in contact" with, so that's obviously not an option.

Unless you lock your kids in the basement, they are in contact with gay adults. Even then the social worker who visits could very well be gay...
 
If I had kids, I would go with: none of the above;
and consider that bad people, who can be normal, gay, tall, short, black, asian, white, etc; are a threat to my would be kids and more importantly, that my family, would be their haven.
 
Total Strangers, without a doubt. I know who the family members, friends, teachers, and children they come in contact with are. I can do the appropriate checks on them and make sure they're decent people. It's the unexpected interactions that concern me. The strangers and random interactions. The people who you cannot predict them meeting and talking to. Those are the ones that concern me.
 
The biggest threat to my grandkids are those who intend to do them harm or are so careless and inattentive they cause harm without thought. There's no one in the family like that, gay or straight, so I suppose total strangers is my answer. But adding the sexuality component, well, it just doesn't fit here.

What do schools and the Boy Scouts have in common that you homosexuals are so eager to be a part of? We don't see that eagerness with regard to other large organizations such as the Kiwanis or Elks, it's always the schools and the Boy Scouts.
 
Statistically it is family/household members I think I read somewhere, but that does not mean stranger danger should be taken lightly.

Touching. Of course I'm not too fond of that many straight adults touching them either.

Why would gay people touch your kids?
 
The biggest threat to kids, IMO, are people who think to impart their thoughts and biases on impressionable minds without consent of the parents.

Short people are by far the biggest threat to children, it makes being short acceptable.
 
"Straight" kids their own age, but simply because there are more straight kids than gay kids, so it's more likely for a straight kid to cause them harm.

No idea why people are choosing family/relatives. I grew up thousands of miles from any relative outside of my immediate family, so I guess I don't understand. Are people afraid of sexual predators in their extended family or something?

Are your kids homeschooled? If not, you have no idea what friends, teachers, and children they are coming into contact with.

Yes, any child of mine would be homeschooled.

No teachers? No relatives?

Contact does not have to mean physically. Any social or learning situation is contact.
A situation where they may each know the other name and have something in common with.

So being a student in the classroom with a teacher who might be gay would be contact.
Maybe the nurse at your kid's school.
A school administrator perhaps? Principle? Career counselor?

Don't be foolish.
Gay adults are everywhere. It's more than possible, most likely probable, that a child of yours is in "contact" with somebody who is gay.

Why are you so scared of that? What's the fear?

Category? Safety and well being. See title of thread. See OP. It's not that difficult.

Why are you so belligerent? What makes you think this is a pro-anything thread?
If it's silly to you why respond at all? Perhaps you're the silly one.

Don't like the choices....don't respond. Not too difficult is it?

Or pick the one that think is closest to the one you think.

It's not that hard is it?

Statistically the right answer is nothing even remotely related to one's sexual preference.
