OK, will do.

I didn't see what state you're from

The People's Republic of Washington. And right now, I'd be glad to have a RINO as at least one of my US Senators!

pro-homosexual classes

I'm really uncertain what a "pro-homosexual class" is. Do they really try to solicit kids to experiment with homosexual behavior, or do they just teach kids not to gay bash? I despise hearing the word "gay" used as an insult to a person or an idea among school age kids, and anything that makes that word as unacceptable as a racial epithet is probably a desirable thing.

Back when I was in high school in the early '70s, we could pretend that there were no gay people in my school, but by the time the 30th class reunion hits, if not sooner, you realize that you were just in the dark.

I went to a fairly "progressive" school in a suburban area, which drew from the nicer neighborhoods in my city. My stepdaughter just graduated from a small town high school out in the logging country (graduating class was a bit more than 100) and she knew a couple of classmates who were gay. We've come a long way for acceptance to change that much in thirty years, although I guess some folks here would say that we shouldn't have.

Then there are the GLSEN "Gay Straight Alliance Clubs" that are popping up all over the place.

Again, I think this is an expression of some of our young people not wanting to buy into the prejudice of older generations, and to reduce the marginalization that some of their homosexual classmates experience. I suspect that this marginalization is what drives some of them to get totally outrageous, sort of like the gay pride parade pics we see here at FR.

I appreciate your reasoned tone. But at the same time, I must conclude that you either have a bias to consider homosexuality benign, or just have not read about it very much.

The outrageousness displayed at "Gay Pride" parades has zero to do with being "marginalized" - a prop-speak word, if there ever was one. Homosexuals and their supporters basically control the mass media as well as higher institutions of learning. Many state jobs (I don't know about federal) mandate "sensitivity" training or classes to promote the acceptance of homosexuality, and people (I personally know of a couple of cases) are punished, demoted, or the like solely for having the wrong kind of bumper sticker, or writing the wrong kind of letter to the editor of the local paper.

So, enough of being "marginalized". Furthermore, if being "marginalized" caused people to display the kind of incredible sexually aggressive, deviant, obscene, tasteless, angry, behavior that goes on in "Gay Pride" parades, then such people obviously have serious mental health problems.

As far as the school situations, if you haven't yet educated yourself about what goes on, it's high time. EdReform is an expert and scripter's archives have information about what actually is currently happening in schools. Please, inform yourself. It is worse than you could imagine.

Here's a personal anecdote: I lived in Humboldt county a few years ago, (before even the state mandated homo-positive law) and a 12 year old girl wrote a letter to the local paper describing what went on in her middle school. The teacher asked for a show of hands to see how many kids considered homosexual behavior wrong. Only this one girl raised her hand. The teacher then had all the kids form a circle around this one girl and encouraged them to taunt her and call her names, so she'd feel like what it was to be tormented the way "gays" have been. She was criticized and taunted with the teacher's approval. It sounded like something from the Cultural Revolution in China.

Get back to the topic after you read some of the archived articles about GLSEN and what it's doing in schools. They have counsellors who tell "questioning" youth (they're really trying to reach out to the "qestioning" youth) that if they have had one "gay" thought or act, they are now "gay" and they can never change. That's recruitment, pure and simple.
