U-S youth disclosing homosexuality at younger ages

NEW YORK -- New research suggests teens are revealing their homosexuality at younger ages than ever before.

An upcoming article in Time magazine takes a look at what has become a growing issue among America's youth.

The age move has some conservative groups worried while surprising gay activists. Time staff writer John Cloud says the conservatives are targeting the youth "to combat this" phenomenon.

Gay activists, meanwhile, are scrambling to reach these teens. Publications targeting gay kids are cropping up on the Internet and are available by subscription.

Cloud also reports gay-straight alliance groups are forming rapidly on school campuses. He says there are clubs for gay and gay-friendly kids in nearly one in ten high schools in the U-S.

Wow. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact of homosexual propaganda being pushed at children of younger and younger age?

The article gives no figures to back up the claim, but schools and homosexual activist clubs are doing everything they can do to encourage more "coming out". I wonder aloud if some of these kids are "selecting" their sexuality before all the growth and data are in and evaluated.

Nothing more than a case of the homosexual agenda pushing its sinful tabloids upon children.

However, they need to be stopped.

Gay activists have ALWAYS been trying to reach younger and younger age groups.

That's one of the complaints about them!

"Gay activists, meanwhile, are scrambling to reach these teens."
Probably the only true statement in the article.

Meh. Homosexuality has become more acceptable in the last decade. It follows that gays would be less anxious about coming out of the closet at a younger age.

Isn't this sick? My daughter is in middle school and there are 12 year old girls declaring their lesbianism. No gay boys yet because being a gay boy is not COOL..... They see it on MTV and network TV.... I don't like it at all.

With a vast die-off in their ranks (on account of AIDS), homosexuals have become much less of a threat to the rest of society.

Consequently, things have lightened up a bit.

At the same time this has made it much more difficult for them to "get dates".

No duh. What society has refused to acknowledge is that homosexuality is a skewed perception of reality, and that it provides a sense of belonging to the narcissist. Since kids are in constant turmoil, looking for acceptance and belonging, and since the homosexual agenda has succeeded in pushing its message into schools, no wonder that a kid who feels like he "doesn't belong" decides that he's gay...

Typical of the pro-homosexual propaganda was the cover story on today's Hartford (CT) Commie Courant.

It showed two elderly women with a wedding cake celebrating CT's civil union law as the big picture on the front page.

Media bias?--count on it. :-(

Much in the same way that 4-year-olds "reveal" that they are pirates, or princesses, or whatever.

So who is encouraging this?

It couldn't possibly be more marijuana clouding their judgement either...
