You've got to be carefully taught. UPDATE

THIS VIDEO WAS MADE PRIVATE BY ITS CREATORS.  That's cool.  Everybody has the right to privacy, I suppose.

No trauma, no irreversible damage, nothing more than a few questions for clarification, a relatively mild shift of world-view, and acceptance.  Those who claim that teaching children about same-sex couples is harmful should watch this candid moment and repent.  Rather, teaching children that some love is inherently despicable and to be shunned is the real abuse of the easily-molded young mind. 

You've got to be taught
To hate and fear,
You've got to be taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught.


You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade,
You've got to be carefully taught.


You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught!
