yes, the younger kids are introduced to these ideas the younger they realize that it's perfectly normal

When the situation becomes relevant to the children it should be discussed (when a classmate has two fathers or mothers. )

yes, teach children young and maybe they will not have the prejudice your parents have

We should always teach children to be tolerant of others. They should know that any two people can be happy together. We shouldn't force them to say if it's right to marry or tell them it's wrong. I bet the only people who would have any issues would be radical Christians

Children have enough on their plates without having to decide or discuss the rationale of same sex partners, etc. This would infringe upon the religious upbringing upon the Christian family. Leave kids out of the picture, and discuss topics as needed to teach them...kids shouldn't have to deal with adult situations...let the kids be kids. If they're curious...they'll ask, until then? Leave it ALONE!
