Young people in America overwhelmingly support LGBT rights when it comes to policies on employment, health care and adoption, according to a new survey.

The GenForward survey of Americans ages 18-30 found that support for those policies has increased over the past two years, especially among young whites. But relatively few of these young adults consider rights for people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender to be among the top issues facing the United States.

According to the findings, 92 percent of young adults support HIV and AIDS prevention, 90 percent support equal employment, and 80 percent support LGBT adoption. Across racial and ethnic groups, broad majorities support training police on transgender issues, government support for organizations for LGBT youth and insurance coverage for transgender health issues. …

The whole Lawrence vs. Texas nonsense was supposed to have been about deeds done in private, was it not.

Sadly true. The kids have been brainwashed and bullied by school administrators to not have any thought contrary to what the PC police say. Any student not towing the line will themselves be labeled a bully and a homophobe. My just graduated HS senior has 2 transgender friends and she acts as if it is the most normal of circumstances. When I ask what they are “biologically” you should hear the answers I get back. The liberals have really effed up society in just a short time.

Government support for organizations for LGBT youth

"We're from the government and we're here to help you!".

Gives me hope for the future. LGBT may get *exactly* what they've been asking for.

Because of the mindset of what they are pursuing, they are wishing the world’s applause, basically.

And Christians, of course, can’t do that.

However that doesn’t mean Christians cannot show friendliness towards them in OTHER ways that call upon God’s power to work a witness. Sometimes it seems that Christians have but two gears, adulate and boycott. The “walk two miles” gear isn’t there for many.

The LGBT movement is an obvious effort to destroy the family, no different from the proclaimed nobility of single parenthood, or abortion. A functioning economically and emotionally viable nuclear family has no need for the government, and therin lies the agenda.

I love how they are suchi fans of the Muslim invasion as well. Complete denial about what is about to happen and peaceful Islam not being quite as tolerant as the evil Christians. What’s about to go down couldn’t happen to a more unprepared generation. The way of life is going to come as a shock as they learn about reality.

Here’s the result of the “Long March Through the Institutions.” These stupid fools are going to vote their destruction.

Their society they create is going to be a colossal train wreck. They won’t be able to fix it because they won’t have a clue that they were the ones who sent it off the rails to begin with.

It will take two or three generations of suffering and privation before we have the chance at another generation that “gets it.”

I’d agree that it was taken way beyond the significance it needed to have.

Even Old Testament penal regulations made a crude distinction between the public and the private, in that two witnesses were needed to carry out an execution. Non-notorious cases (1 witness) would skate, that way.

This is what happens when a public expectation of religiosity meets the “religion” of secularism. If you can do it in private, you must be allowed to do it in anyone’s face too or somehow you are un-American.

LGBTQ... it’s not just a sandwich anymore.

Although, sometimes it is.

They have been propagandized since K-4 if they attended public (and many private) schools and the intensity of indoctrination increases in college (I teach in a public university and watch it every day). There are punishments in schools for those who don’t go along with the program.

If one looks at the evil spirits that have an agenda that most mankind is unaware of, one sees exactly that, and more.

However to accuse them of directly plotting to “destroy the family” is untrue in most cases. They are simply thinking with the wrong head, without any real consideration about what lays beyond it.

Please educate me on Lawrence Vs. Texas. I have not followed it much.

What exactly are they missing???

Someone called them "gay", once, and hurt their feelings. OR, even worse, someone might be thinking that they're gay, and judging them. So, we all must pay.

Special Snowflakes, all.

Relative of mine got involved in a dispute between a couple of her clients. One called the other gay (he is). Gay guy - get ready for this...called the police and reported it as a hate crime. Relative is getting dragged into the whole fiasco.

Who knew? I could have called the police to arrest Michael Johnston back in 6th grade when he called me a "Stupid Fat @$#@$@." But for opportunities lost....

Same here but the bobbleheads on the news say that it’s “wildly popular” with the snowflakes and is helping get them out of mom and pop’s basement and their “safety spaces” at “college”.

In all of my years on the planet, I've only *met* two transgender people, never mind been friendly with them. One at work, and one in a bar (which is a long, and hilarious story, but best told over a cold beer).

Methinks that "Transgender" is the new "gay" when it comes to attention whores getting their attention fixes.
