Long story short, I had SE first period, which is the class with our guidance teacher, and because we're going into 3rd year, and we've done the whole course choice thing and stuff, we were talking about careers, and how certain groups of people are at a disadvantage through no fault of their own, and halfway through the period we started doing this thing, where on the tables there were statements, and we had to write on a sticky note (in groups) what they thought of it. The boys were being really sexist on one of them. One of the statements was "homosexual males shouldn't be allowed to work with children" and they all agreed (they also said that boys can't be nurses, they HAVE to be doctors). My and my friend started arguing with them (keep in mind that a LOT of the people I'm friends with aren't straight, so some of the stuff they were saying really annoyed me), and it got to the stage where me and my friends were pretty much shouting at them. Eventually our teacher told us to sit down so we could discuss it.Their arguments were stupid and didn't make sense, like, according to them, "gay men shouldn't work with children because they might fall in love with them and rape them (pretty much the exact words)" and I was like "That's paedophilia, not homosexuality! They are NOTHING alike!" and none of their arguments made sense and it just annoyed me so much some of the stuff they were saying. One of them went back to the whole Adam and Eve excuse, and I was like "You don't believe in God, you cannot use the bible as an excuse" and by the end of the lesson it was the teacher trying to talk to them, and them giving arguments that made no sense, and I was just sitting with my head on the desk because I was so annoyed at them, I couldn't even look at them.At the end, me and a couple friends sort of stayed back a bit (we had music next and the music teachers are really nice, so it wouldn't matter if we were a bit late) and the teacher was saying she was really surprised at how homophobic they were, and she thought that because we were younger, we would be more acceptingAnd please don't say "don't get annoyed at them, try and see it from their point of view" etc. because I physically can't, because what they're saying makes no sense whatsoeverRant over

Damn. I wasn't going to say anything of the sort. Their point of view is stupid and silly, and you should try and AVOID those points of views. What you're dealing with their is a belief based on faith, at which point their arguments will make no sense. At which point, you can never win a discussion like that.
