In other words, he's saying that kids get their attitudes from their parents...except on gay issues where there is a wide generation gap. Gee, that gap couldn't be caused by kids being exposed to an incessent drumbeat of homosexual indoctrination, could it?
And as more and more people disclose same-sex sexuality - including friends, family members and admired celebrities - it can be increasingly difficult and unrewarding to divide into "us-and-them" exclusions.
Why, yes...yes it could be.
For many people of all ages, love is situational, based on the person rather than gender.
Hold on, professor...I thought homosexuality was a genetic trait a person couldn't control. Now you're telling me it is situational?
"[Women] tend to be more fluid...Increasingly, I'm finding boys who are of the same belief and attitude. That gives me hope.
Yes, he's saying its situational.
It gives him hope. It scares a lot of the rest of us.
Debbie Tennant, a guidance counselor at Ithaca High School for he past 15 years, still sees occasional name-calling. "Kids are more accepting of the differences, but not always - some kids will be quick to label someone and use some labels people used in the 1970s and lash out in very hurtful ways," she says....At the same time, she adds, "There are wonderful kids in the Gay-Straight Alliance...The Gay-Straight Alliance has grown significantly from 4-5 people two years ago to 35 to 40 now, he says.
In other words, the Ithaca School system has a club to expose straight kids to homosexuality.
"...Ithaca is ...very liberal, and people who have liberal attitudes do have an effect on the atmosphere."
Which is why Ithaca is the City of Evil.
Ping for later, sadly
Absolutely, as well as:
1) Legal drinking age of 15;
2) Compulsory schooling mysteriously ending around the 8th grade;
3) Age of consent around 12, 13 years old...
It's amazing how so-called "intellectuals" really can't think their ideas through.
What, you think MTV airing all those "real world" eps about three-way sex during the afterschool hours set a bad example?!?!
The DEVIL you say.

They are NOT reflecting their parents, in all cases. They are spewing back the 24-7 indoctrination by their teachers and much of the MSM--much of which is dictated either by gays or those embracing the gay agenda.
"I'm hoping we can accept a wide range on the sexual spectrum - most of us are somewhere in between [gay and heterosexual]," he notes.
You forgot:
4) Would vote to never have to go to SCHOOL!
Probably true. Women tend to be less fixed in their sexuality than men. Interesting that he then turns around and expresses the idea that the only differnce between men and women is plumbing. Rather contradictory.
Increasingly, I'm finding boys who are of the same belief and attitude. That gives me hope.
Yeah, he hopes he can get some.
Hey, I just parent them properly and explain to them what is acceptable and what is not. I make absolutely certain that STDs and specifically AIDS is involved in every discussion about alternate sexuality (as well as normal) that we have in my home.
It gives me jhope too. Hope that people of this mindset are far less likely to breed. Filter them OUT!
