If we think about this a few seconds we'll discover the pedophile promotion angle the ACLU is pushing in this lawsuit as well.
Quite possibly it has something to do with "cruising".

"the ACLU said it will have no choice but to take the Governor's Program on Abstinence back into federal court."
Since when did the ALCU become God's gift to justice?
For once I think the atheist Carl Sagan can be applied, "...deluded by [their] self-importance and posturing..."

Right from the same folks that defended NAMBLA and attack the Boy Scouts.

Of course mention of "God" is offensive to the Christianophobes at the ACLU. If it was Allah, no doubt that would pass muster with them. My advice to Louisiana is simply change the term and every one can go home happy for the holidays.
