Crowd psychology and propaganda have always interested me. Its one of the reasons I was able to recognize the manipulation of the early sex ed classes we had in school.
Take a classroom full of teenagers who are desperately trying to fit in and tell them that all “normal” boys and girls have homosexual thoughts. It wasn’t very effective at my rural school back in the late 70s and early 80s but the whole structure wasn’t in place at that point. Today its reinforced by a steady stream of gratuitous homosexuality on TV, teachers fully trained to encourage bullying of the stand out heteros, and gay and lesbian groups in schools. My niece who went to Western Michigan said there’s a whole subculture of temporary homosexuals who are soaking up the benefits of being a protected class. She called them HUGs and LUGs. “Homosexual until graduation or Lesbian until Graduation.”
