Firas Zahabi, the coach of UFC icon Georges St-Pierre, has voiced concern about his kids\u2019 school curriculum in Montreal.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s become encouraged now to feminize men,\u201d<\/em> Zahabi said during an episode of\u00a0The 3Muslims<\/a>\u00a0podcast (h\/t\u00a0r\/MMAPoliticsAndCulture<\/a>). \u201cIf they want to feminize their men, they can do it, but they aren\u2019t going to feminize our men.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Citing a movie<\/a> that was shown to them in school on Valentine’s Day, Firas Zahabi commented:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my sons, on Valentine\u2019s Day, they showed him a movie about one guy falling in love with another. My kids, they\u2019re open books\u2014so my son is like, \u2018I watched this movie and two guys were kissing each other so me and my friend were laughing and everybody got angry with us. They were telling me it\u2019s normal, it\u2019s normal.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n
\u201cThe teacher was telling my son, it\u2019s ok [to be gay]. Well, that\u2019s pretty weird, man. Kids haven\u2019t even gotten through puberty yet. I send my kid to school to math, science, history, philosophy, ethics\u2026the basics. Why are you showing them on Valentine\u2019s Day, a story about a man with another man?\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Georges<\/div>\n
Firas Zahabi continued:<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cNow listen, there are gay people in the world. I tell my kids that there are gay people. You will see them. But we are not gay. That is what I told them, straight up, and I\u2019m not ashamed. I told them \u2018tell your teacher you\u2019re heterosexual, and if he has a problem with that, to call me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Apparently the often outspoken Zahabi, who has a Bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Condordia University, has pretty strong feelings about teaching his children to be accepting of same-sex relationships. While acknowledging the existence of homosexuals Zahabi expressed that in his household no one is gay – they are all heterosexuals.<\/p>\n
