So, it turns out that
I did an experiment with my students.
Hi everyone! Welcome to my channel again.
I wanted to know (my students') opinion about
whether or not gay and lesbian couples
should have kids.
So, since at the moment in France they are debating the legalization
of gay marriage and adoption.
I played this movie for them in class,
its name is "Comme les autres",
it means "Like Everyone Else" in English.
So, they had to give their opinion about this topic.
And they came up with a few facts... worrying facts I have to say.
One of the most difficult ones to accept was this:
someone said
she thinks that
being homosexual is a mental illness.
I can't believe someone
who is very young
and who lives in the 21st century
thinks like that.
Someone else's opinion
was also shocking.
Some said that
a gay couple should
adopt a girl and
and a lesbian couple should adopt a boy
so they won't confuse,
so the kids won't be confused about their sexuality.
What I guess they tried to say is that they don't want it to be more homosexual people
or something... At least this is what I could understand.
There was also this group that
is opposed to the idea (of homosexual people having kids) because they can't imagine a family
which is not traditional: father, mother and children.
It's just impossible for them.
So...
Well...
the good thing here is that most of my students
said they support the cause,
they said that they respect homosexual people a lot,
that they think they can give (children) what they need, specially love;
they can do it for a lot of children that don't have it right now.
And...
well...
that homosexual people should be able to have children
by adopting them
or using different methods,
but they said that society is not ready yet.
And I agree,
society is not prepared yet.
So, if we want them to be prepared,
education is what we need,
a lot of hard work
in order to get total acceptation.
So, well,
I highly recommend to watch this movie,
I haven't said yet what it is about (I'll put it in the description).
This is it for this week. I hope you guys tell me in the comments below
what you think about this little experiment with my students,
which wasn't very professional of me, but anyway...
I hope to be a little bit more... lively next week... because I'm...
tired because it is
the end of the semester and
I'm taking driving lessons and I suck at it,
so I'm stressed...
that is why I made this video...
no, I mean that's why I haven't made something more ...
See you next week with something more interesting. Bye!
