You know, I really think we're talking across each other here.

The problem is that what we think doesn't matter. What matters is what concerned!soccermom thinks, and she thinks that discussions of sexuality are not at all child or even teen friendly. And until you've convinced her that it's not bad and harmful to her kids, she's going to do everything in her power to make sure we can't talk about it. At all. The Think of the Children! demographic is a very powerful political force.

By flagging up front that we are talking about sexuality, we are saying that we don't think it's a bad thing and we're not going to stop people from joining in if they want to, while, at the same time, we're removing TotC!'s tools to stop us from talking about it and promoting heathly human sexuality as a good thing. The onus falls back on to them to 'protect' their children from the evil world if they really do feel they need protecting.
