What’s a homo? Questions from 5-9-year-olds

Here is an example answer:

“A homo is an offensive slang word for homosexual. A homosexual person is an adult who feels attracted to people like themselves such as a man attracted to another man or a woman being attracted to another woman. Gay and lesbian are other words for homosexual. Adults who are attracted to people of the other sex are called heterosexual.”

You can play a part in developing non-discriminatory attitudes if you give factual information and show your acceptance of homosexuality whenever it is discussed.
