Lesbian bride dolls. Fourth grade "gay" clubs. A king and king at the high school prom. Dating tips for same-sex teens. Bathroom ogling -- and sometimes quick encounters -- in the middle school boys' restroom.
These are just the first snapshots of the bizarre new world in store for American children if homosexual marriage is legalized.
Most of the major players who mold our youth have already endorsed homosexuality and even cross-dressing. The National Education Association, the nation's largest teachers' union, favors support for "gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender" students and teachers, which translates into uncritical acceptance throughout the curriculum at your local school.
Ditto with the American Federation of Teachers, the American School Health Association, and the National Association of School Psychologists. The American Association of School Administrators is firmly on board, and the National School Boards Association featured a glowing article in a recent newsletter about the great benefits of "gay" clubs in schools.
The Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Girl Scouts, 4H and the Boys Clubs/Girls Clubs all have adopted policies against discrimination based on sexual orientation, as have most local public school districts in the United States.
Only the Boys Scouts have held off, and have dearly paid the price as homosexual pressure groups try to cut off their funding and bar them from meeting in schools. Once same-sex marriage is the law of the land, any group or school that does not support "equality" and full acceptance of homosexual behavior will be the targets of similar wrath - as well as defendants in lawsuits.
Once legal, these trendy new marriage "rights" are likely to trump any constitutional guarantees of free speech and religious liberty, and local parents who weren't paying attention will watch helplessly as their children are brainwashed - and seduced - into the new behaviors. The practice of bisexuality, currently popular among teens, will skyrocket.
The pro-homosexual agenda directed to children is under way now on a limited scale; all that prevents the tidal wave from sweeping over every child in our country is the official endorsement marriage would provide.
Groups like GLSEN (the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network) and PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) have helped start some 2,000 homosexual clubs in American schools. Most are at the high school level, with a few emerging in middle schools. GLSEN's goal is to establish clubs in as many elementary schools as possible using the rationale that these students, who they imply were probably born this way, need "support systems" to avoid harassment and discrimination.
Yet both GLSEN and PFLAG advocate book selections for youth that include positive portrayals of homosexual sex between boys, pornography use, cheating on a spouse with a homosexual lover, homosexual sex between underage youth and adults, and straight and "gay" experimentation by "uncertain" youth.
If homosexual marriage becomes equal to heterosexual unions, then equal opportunities for same-sex and opposite-sex socializing and dating must be made available to youth to avoid accusations of "discrimination." And so more experimentation - with approval by enlightened adults - can be expected to follow.
School literature will be adopted to reflect a positive view of the homosexual family as a future option for every child. Josh will learn that he can grow up and marry a girl or a boy. And since at age 6 he probably hasn't yet discovered his sexual "identity," the fair thing will be to present all angles to him in language, health, music and social studies.
The new wave of openly homosexual teachers, more than willing to fill any teacher shortages in order to interact with budding youth, are sure to help with this increased workload.
But the new paradigm won't dissolve at the schoolhouse door. Television and film, already dominated by sexual minority sympathizers, will introduce creative expressions of the new equality. Children's cartoons will present gender-bending super-heroes. Cross-dressers, feminized boys and masculine girls will appear regularly on Nickelodeon and popular sit-coms. Disney films are sure to be in front of this trend.
In the toy department, shoppers may find new "gay and lesbian" friends of Barbie and Ken, who will probably split up their long romance until group relationships for youth become the next inevitability.
And we could go on and on. The point is, with aggressive, well-funded homosexual activists already in key positions of influence in the media, education, academia and entertainment, "gay" marriage will be their turnkey to launch a brave new world for kids. Too bad so many of our children will have no choice but to live there.

You may feel compelled to wash your hands after reading this...
Yeah, I have a brother-in-law who is 'bi'. The gay community can't stand it and try to convince he is gay and there is no such thing as 'bi'. He has stuggled because he finds women attractive but still likes to be with guys. Sexual identity and fetishes are greatly influenced by environment and sexual orgasism provide perhaps the strongest postive reinforcement mechanism that works to also shape human behavior. The scientific evidence points to lots of influences, but the 'experts' ignore all the facts. There is nothing that supports the current belief that sexuality identity is soley caused by genetics. The best evidence they show are twin studies, but even the most biased twin studies only show a 50% correlation. That leaves a lot of room for other influences.
That would plant the seeds for the next World War. Countries like Poland will never accept that.
You are repeating the dogma of the leftist gay-agendists.
They insist that homosexuality is something one is "born with," in order to equate homosexuality with race -- thus, forcing an extension of all anti-discrimation laws to apply to homosexuals.
I for one don't believe this dogma is true. There may be predisposing genetic factors in many cases, but genetics cannot be the only cause: There are many effeminate men and 'masculine' women who are heterosexuals.
I believe homosexuality is caused by a combination of factors, mostly psychological, none of which by themselves would necessarily result in that particular, er, bent.
No verified study shows a genetic link.
Well, since you are "always right" guess you know! Got any gay relatives??
I have a brother who is trapped in perversion. I do not know if he was molested but I know for a certainty that he was physically abused, had no relationship with our dad and was torturously teased by his classmates.
Likewise every SAD that I know of has these same characteristics. And so do most ex-SADs which shows that environement is overcomeable.
I have found this to be true, as well as no father in the equation at all.
I don't believe this for one second.
Your argument about homosexuality is no different than the stale old arguments of yore that asserted women were intellectually inferior to men, and couldn't follow a logical discipline like mathematics.
A person is the result of their conditioning, belief systems and environment.

BINGO! In the end the father cannot be taken out of the equation completely.
There is an Attorney in Chicago who advertises on the radio who represents Father's rights. He states that most children who grow up without a father will either enter a life of crime or be a victim of crime/abuse. Speaking from experience, I have found this to be sad but true. I grew up without my Father because of an untimely death, and my children have lost their Father at a young age as well.
Our children are very impressionable and many will take to this kind of behavior just because it is seen as "in style". Others will embrace it because they have no parents teaching them different.
Psychiatrist "Reassures" Parents About Lesbian Experimentation
"...The article describes a parent-faculty meeting at The Spence School, a private enclave overlooking Central Park, where several eighth-grade girls had declared themselves "bisexual." The school called in a Harvard-educated psychiatrist, Dr. Justin Richardson--himself a gay man--to reassure the parents that lesbian experimentation is common, and that it was too soon to know if they would be lesbians or heterosexuals.
At the all-girl Brearly School two weeks earlier, Dr. Richardson told a parent group to advise their daughters as young as nine years old that they, too, may have sex with other girls in the future. "It is a good idea," he said, "to mention that people have sex with members of the same sex sometimes, and that when they grow up they may have friends that do that--and that it may be something that they themselves do."
"A small but growing number of students," the Times article reported, "have come out at these schools, or at least say that bisexuality is stylish." Parents are concerned, and Dr. Richardson--"pedigreed, carefully-spoken, determinedly nonthreatening--has become the schools' gay issues consultant of choice" because he is "sane and clear," according to the Spence headmaster..."
