It was a bit of a shock to the church children's class teacher when a kindergarten-aged student suddenly announced, "I'm gay." It was pretty evident the boy had little idea what the phrase meant, but was only parroting what he had heard through the media.

Keys include minimizing negative media influence and learning more about the biblical approach to sex education and homosexuality.
