FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FROM CAMPAIGN FOR CALIFORNIA FAMILIES April 23, 2002
TRANSSEXUAL FOSTER CARE BILL PASSES COMMITTEE HURDLE
AB 2651 Would Teach Foster Children to Embrace Transsexual, Bisexual and Homosexual Lifestyles
Sacramento – Controversial legislation to promote transsexuality, bisexuality and homosexuality throughout California’s foster care system was passed today by the Assembly Human Services Committee on a party line vote. Democrats voted yes; and Republicans voted no. Governor Gray Davis has yet to announce his position on the bill.
AB 2651 by Democrat Assemblywoman Judy Chu of Monterey Park would indoctrinate foster children to embrace and experiment with transsexual, bisexual and homosexual behavior. Under the guise of “discrimination” and “harassment” foster care staff would be forced to put a priority on finding homosexual men and lesbian women to be foster parents. Foster care staff and foster parents would be forced to accept homosexual behavior and cross-dressing by foster youth, and all foster parents will be required to undergo “sensitivity” training on homosexual, bisexual and transgender issues.
In an attack on freedom of conscience, AB 2651 requires foster parents and foster care staff to be “sensitive” to cross-dressing by foster children and homosexual behavior. Today in the committee hearing Assemblywoman Chu stated that the word “sensitive” means “supportive” of foster children engaging in these sexual lifestyles.
Supporting AB 2651 are the ACLU and CAPE, the state’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender organization. Opposing the bill are Campaign for California Families, Committee on Moral Concerns, Traditional Values Coalition, Capitol Resource Institute, the Association of Christian Schools International, and the County of San Diego.
“We feel sorry for the vulnerable children in foster care who are being targeted by homosexual and transsexual activists hungry for new territory,” said Randy Thomasson, Executive Director of Campaign for California Families, a statewide nonprofit, nonpartisan family issues leadership organization. “A large number of California foster parents have a sincere religious belief on raising children to respect healthy sexual relationships. By requiring foster parents to participate in pro-transsexuality, bisexuality, and homosexuality “sensitivity" training, AB 2651 will drive conscientious, caring parents out of the system. These offensive requirements will significantly reduce the available foster care homes for needy children. This outrageous bill's overly broad language coupled with these far reaching requirements could actually require foster parents to allow a boy to wear women's clothing in front of other foster children and schoolchildren.”

I'm a little bitter after our battle with GLSEN ins Broward County Schools. The School Board saw hundreds of thousands of voices in opposition yet ignored them. If the people in charge of this have already made up their mind, ...Like I said. I'll pray..
Take your slander and hyperbole elsewhere. I have no use for such idiotic commentary.
:/ ttt
I think I may have hit a nerve.
Nope, I just think that it is cowardly for churchs to take potshots at homosexuals and at the same time, when faced with true evil, like government corruption (IRS, EPA, ATF), they bow down like the cowards they are.
That is one of the things that disgusts me.
You can think whatever the hell you want to. You still don't know me, and are in no position to make presumptuous assumptions about my behavior.
:/ ttt
So you do not see the link between moral corruption of the society and corruption of the government?
Yes, I do see a link, but government is the root cause. If you take a look at the 1930's on up, you will notice that it is SOCIALISM (NOT homosexuality) using government to corrupt the population.
By the way, from what I have read, some homosexuals do realize the evils of socialism, for example the Logcabin Republicans.
Of the seven deadly sins (pride, envy, jealousy, greed, sloth, wrath, lust), currently the church has mostly ignored 6 of the seven deadly sins and only mainly focused on lust. Am I the only one who see's something wrong with this picture?
You are missing the point. If the proponents of some other sin like theft or murder were trying to celebrate it and promote in the public schools the healty part of the church would be opposing it as well. BTW, the abortion is a a killing of a human being and more or less the same people who promote pederasty promote the abortion.
Their objective or rather the objective of those who manipulate their minds (like Gramsci, Lucas and others) is to foster the revolution through the undermining of the moral fundations of the society.
Do not fool yourself, once the real revolutionaries win they will not tolerate the deviation from the order. They will dispose their tools like pederast activists without mercy. Remember how Hitler has shown his lack of thankfulness during the Night of Long Knives and how harshly puritanical Stalinsts or Maoists became after seizing the power. Then you and your friends will regret you naiveness and you will grasp that it was Christians who were tolerant and compassionate to you. But it will be too late.
Bump to us Grandmas! Me too, GrandMoM, but you know we are fighting on the losing side (because all the perverted groups and sick liberals, and minorities, and illegal aliens are all combining to make one big group to outnumber us), so I wish HE would come and stop all this perversion NOW, for the sake of our grandkids!
....I keep on talking and praying to him.
Classic. It's obvious the printout to copy is by the side of his keyboard.
Absolutely classic.
Check mate.
Pigdog, read this thread. If you still don't believe the accusations made, then you're (a) fooling yourself or (b) trying to fool us. And (b) won't work.
I see that the poster Paul C. Jesup often takes a stand against what might be seen as the common belief in gender issues and that he has spent a good amount of time researching a lot of aspects of such issues and is willing to speak out about them perhaps knowing that he will be roundly attacked with many of his statements distorted.
I do not find his posts - some of which may have some factual errors in them - to be so objectionable as to believe that they condone or promote the homo/transgender life, nor that they are trying to somehow inveigle anyone into that sort of life. At the same time, he is not condemning such a life out of hand (as some of you do) but has a good bit of compassion for those involved in it - but that does not mean approbation or approval of it.
It does mean, however, that he will be endlessly attacked since he does not line up on the "side of the angels" in your views and perhaps never will. He actually makes some valid points some of which I see are misunderstood (for whatever reason).
I further believe that you read far too much into his posts and impute far too much of what you believe/disbelieve into what you think is meant. Certainly he might express himself more clearly on some of the posts and this leads to a good bit of misdirected invective.
None of the posts he has made that you have pointed me to (and I have read them all along with the responses from and to) justify the "heat of attack" that several of you have made - and will no doubt continue to do so.
Just so we're clear, I am not (a) fooling myself, (b) trying to fool you, or (c) trying to "work" anything (whcatever that might mean). Also, if you have put me on any of your ping lists, please remove me since I have no real interest in the subject, but I wanted to see what engendered such heated attacks in the thread I happened onto.
I find them unjustified ... but that's my opinion. I believe you should read and think with more charity in your hearts than with venom in your keyboards.
And BTW - I'm on no one's "side", so don't waste your time with that approach.
Perhaps I can be a bit of a hot head; but then, I have been debating with people supporting the homosexual agenda for several years. Some of them have supported it upfront; some stealthily.
I have witnessed first hand what the promotion of homosexuality as normal and natural does to people, to families, to relationships. I have also read a great deal about it. It is extremely destructive, especially when presented to children as normal and natural.
I have also read a lot more of his posts and comments than the ones DirtyHarry spent his time finding for your perusal. So I think my viewpoint is justified; my language might be considered immoderate by some. The knowledge of what homosexual radicals have done, are doing, and plan on doing lends an urgency to my desire to broadcast the truth. I'm sorry if my tone bothers anyone. But I am more concerned that people know the truth then if they like me.
Since the MSM media is in the coat pocket of those promoting the homosexual agenda, many public schools are in thrall to "gay" promoting organizations, Hollywood and the entertainment industry fawn all over everything "gay", there is very little opportunity for people to know what is the truth.
You are not on my pinglist, and since Harry and I share the same list, you're not on his either.
Ha! back to you:
Ezekiel 16:49: " Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy."
