Schools Official Assails 'Gay Lifestyle'
The Washington Post ^ | 02/03/2005 | Maria Glod

A Fairfax County School Board member has sent letters to the district's 24 high school principals urging them to ensure that students hear the views of people who believe that homosexuality is a choice and a "very destructive lifestyle."

In a Jan. 30 letter, Stephen M. Hunt (At Large) asked the principals to host speakers with an "ex-gay perspective" and offer students, teachers and counselors literature provided by the conservative group Concerned Women for America and other organizations.

"Children are being taught that homosexuality is normal and natural. It is neither," Hunt wrote. "To state that it is normal or natural is to promote the myth that accompanies the homosexual activist rhetoric."

...

But in the letter Hunt said students often are exposed to the "Will and Grace version of homosexuality." He contended in the letter that gays often suffer drug and alcohol abuse or physical abuse and that gay men don't live as long as heterosexual counterparts. "There are huge ramifications for people who may make a choice to go into that lifestyle, and we should make sure they are fully aware of the entire issue," Hunt said in an interview.

And so do straight people and couples in heterosexual relationships.

At lower levels than those in homosexual relationships

The fact that homosexual behavior exists in nature amoung other species should indicate something but I guess this board member doesn't want to acknowledge that.

So does incest, rape, multiple partner relationship, and cannibalism... what was your point?

God also encouraged the stoning of people who committed adultery and rival tribes that believed in other gods at one point as well.


I can't find that in my Bible. Must be in Exodus with the "Ten Encouragements".


I know you didn't say this ArGee, but the author is long,long gone.

That load of doublespeak is why the homo-advocats changed the language from sexual preference to sexual orientation.

Propaganda for facilitating the recruiting of children.

The myth of homosexuality in nature is just a propaganda BS. Homosexuality in nature is just when there is no member of the opposite sex and in usually during mating season when both genders are in mating mode.

It is no different that what goes on in the long term prison population. I suspect the hardcore homo-advocates count the prison population in their numbers.

Yeah - Actually there are many animals that eat their young, males that kill babies when they come and take over a harem - I suppose we should justify that too huh?

Oh we already do. :-\

Nor does the fact that homosexuality "exists in nature" imply that it is never a chosen behavior.

Bingo. Nor does it imply that it's "normal."

Mounting behavior is actually a dominance behavior that animals will do to other animals of the same sex. Has very little to do with sex.

You are correct, and just to clarify I was quoting someone who was banned and their posts removed, so you were quoting someone elses words and not mine =)

Agreed! To say the behavior isn't a choice is to say that a woman who gets pregnant out of wedlock had no choice but to act on the attraction she felt toward the father! Unless it was rape, she of course, did have a choice.

Well, okay. I don't 100% agree with you but do agree that young-age conditioning can go a long ways.


Which is exactly why the gay lobby wants to educate IN schools, and to adopt.
