Myth: It isn’t “normal” to be homosexual or have homosexual feelings.

Facts: Alfred C. Kinsey’s landmark research beginning in the 1930’s and continuing into the 1950’s demonstrated that homosexual behavior occurs in this country much
more frequently than people had imagined ... It is interesting to note that only a few hundred years ago, being left-handed was considered the mark of a witch, a sign of perversity. The phobia of witchcraft was so pervasive that people were tormented, even murdered simply because they were lefthanded. Such a thing may seem unbelievable, but people can do very cruel things when they are afraid.

Future generations are likely to look back with equal astonishment that gay and lesbian people were subjected to similar acts of fear and hatred ... Very few of us have exclusively heterosexual or homosexual feelings throughout
our lives. Human sexuality is a continuum, not opposing “camps.” However, this culture has rigidly indoctrinated us that even the appearance of traits that are not assigned to a person’s gender role is cause for uneasiness ... People who overplay their cultural gender roles, who react negatively, or even cruelly to any deviation from these “roles”, may well be driven by a need to deny their own behavior or feelings.

[editorial note: this is in keeping with the homosexual normalizing propaganda which goes for the y/n statement of all people are homosexuals. Again no science just feeeeeeeelings. also note: author's statement that opposing homosexuality MAKES you a homosexual. Everyone is a homosexual and if you deny you are a homosexual that makes you a homosexual.]

Myth: Homosexuals are sick.

Facts: ... One’s sexual and emotional orientations are fixed at a very early age. Many experts claim at birth, certainly by age five ... Homosexuality was considered quite normal in Ancient Greece and Rome (both during their rise and decline in power), and in Native American Indian tribes where gays were elevated to very high leadership positions. Some present-day societies like The Netherlands have an accepting attitude, and in Denmark same-sex marriages are legal.

[added editorial note: Homosexuality was never considered normal in Greece, even Athens had the death penalty for those caught with boys and exile for those caught practicing sodomy with members of the same sex. The homosexualization of ancient history is brought by the same people who demand Abe Lincoln was a homosexual.]

Myth: Homosexuality is a sin.

Facts: The Bible contains six passages which condemn homosexual behavior. The Bible also contains numerous passages condemning heterosexual behavior.

Theologians and Biblical scholars continue to differ on many Biblical interpretations. They agree on one thing, however. Jesus said absolutely nothing at all about homosexuality. Among the many things deemed an abomination are adultery, incest, wearing clothing made from more than one kind of fiber, and earing shellfish, like shrimp and lobster. Religion has often been misused to justify hatred and oppression. Less than a half a century ago, Baptist churches (among others) in this country defended racial segregation on the basis that it was condoned by the Bible. Early Christians were not hostile to homosexuals. Intolerance became the dominant attitude only after the Twelfth Century. Today, many people no longer tolerate generalizations about homosexuality as pathology or sin. Few would condemn heterosexuality as
immoral — despite the high incidence of rape, incest, child abuse, adultery, family violence, promiscuity, and venereal disease among heterosexuals. Fortunately,
many within organized religions are beginning to address the homophobia of the church. The Nation Council of Churches of Christ, the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the Unitarian Universalist Association, the Society of Friends (Quakers), and the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches support full civil rights for gay men and lesbians, as they do for everyone
else.

[added editorial note: having been around FR enough, it is VERY obvious this school curriculum totally lies and misrepresents Christian Church history, bible content, and ignores teachings of Christ. This is a PUBLIC school teaching a government established/mandated view of Christianity]

Myth: People “choose” to be gay or straight.

Facts: ... Most people feel that their sexual orientation is not a choice, it is a natural response for them. Trying to change one’s sexual response to straight or gay is usually unsuccessful. [note: totaly ignores sexual behavior in prisons.] We do have a choice regarding how we treat each other.

Hatred of gay men and lesbians is the work of humans, not God. As with any other group, the majority of gay men and lesbians are good people who are concerned about the future of our country and the world. They do no ask special
favors, simply the respect and rights that we all should enjoy, without fear of verbal or physical attacks ...

[editorial note: This is pure PFLAG, GLSEN, Lamda Legal, and HRC propaganda.]

That's exactly what it is. Incredible that the school bureaucrats actually thought they could foist this off on people.

Who devised this curriculum? The North American Man Boy Love Association? No wonder parents are upset!!!!
I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to have an innocent child of mine in a government school. Thank God we can homeschool. Ours are safe.

FROM THE REVISED CURRICULUM

Are you you really talking about something that was written to back up Montgomery Kounty curriculum or are you just educating us on the gay's perverted arguments?

I'm assuming the latter, but from this school board, ya never know.
