(Washington D.C.) A Virginia based gay rights organization has called for the resignation of Fairfax County school board member Stephen Hunt after he sent a letter to school principals in the county touting ex-gay reparative therapy. Equality Fairfax, Equality Virginia is a consortium of the Gay, Lesbian Straight Education Network, P-FLAG and the Human Rights Campaign.
"Hunt should not be permitted to spread this kind of harmful misinformation," Paula Prettyman, president of Equality Fairfax said in her statement to the school board. "Reparative therapy techniques, or 'ex-gay' therapies, have been denounced by the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association."
The school board issued a public reprimand to Hunt, but the school board member has yet to publicly apologize for his open letter to school principals.
"Junk science has no place in our schools," said David M. Smith, the HRC's vice president for policy and strategy. "No school board member should ignore the scientific evidence that sexual orientation cannot be changed just to push a personal agenda."

The usual suspects at work here. Notice they've pulled out their big gun HRC's David Smith to demean the ex-gay movement, citing faux science propaganda to scare the school board members. This is a grass roots juggernaut for the homosexual agenda and we need to let the school board know they shouldnt listen to these homosexual lobbying groups. They need to do their own research and find out for them selves, not bow to the political pressure from the likes of HRC and PFLAG.
Support Stephen Hunt and email the school board to do their own research.

"Hunt should not be permitted to spread this kind of harmful misinformation," Paula Prettyman, president of Equality Fairfax Hey Paula, is it as harmful as the misinformation that tells teenagers it's OK to engage in any dangerous and poervers sexual practice as long as you use a condom?
I've got news for you. No one has ever died from LEAVING the gay lifestyle.

Anybody got links to the ex-gay "junk" science? The junk science the homosexual propagandists refer to is the APAs denouncement of reparative therapy. What is not widely know is that these organizations for the soft sciences are liberal through and through. Dr. Robert Spitzer, the psychiatrist responsible for removing homosexuality as pathology, now says change is possible. David Smith will have his problems with that.
Support Stephen Hut and email the school board.

Well....she's got the perfect gay name. I gotcher perfect name right here-- Lezlie Whiskerbizkit.

Sounds like the agenda crowd has successfully intimidated what were respected organizations. Now they are stooges for the lefty activists.
