The kids will probably get over it - and no, I'm definitely not endorsing what these groups are advocating (assuming the article is accurate).
Don't be so cavalier about that word "probably". In my college days (which seems to parallel today's high-school days in terms of sexual activity), I know a young man who was lured into same-sex experimentation, and he never really did "get over it". He eventually became an emotional wreck, and left school. I was too bust practicing "tolerance" to suggest that he might have wanted to reconsider said behavior before trying it - I feel that, in some ways, I failed him as a friend.
Sometimes, the ones most likely to be goaded into this dangerous game are the ones least equipped to deal with it, emotionally.

This mirrors some of those Communist edicts that you posted for me yesterday, right?

It just seems to be such UNNECESSARY pain, anguish and guilt. They get enough of that with the normal pecadillos of life without this added crap.
Don't you think?
Also, the advocacy groups are trying to normalize homosexuality. THAT is just plain wrong, imho.
Using teenagers for trying to normalize homosexuality by getting them on board, so to speak, even temporarily, is ALSO just plain wrong, imho.

Another attempt to legitimize boorish behavior. No one(gay or straight) should be encouraged to be lustful. Rich leftists are again encouraging the less affluent to act self destructively.

This is important because maybe, maybe, 20% of the planet is queer. /sarcasm off

I THINK that prison systems ... force SOME life-termer men into having sex with each other.
I somewhat agree with you. And, as such, this is one more notch in the belt that in my opinion makes "life imprisonment" a "cruel and unusual" punishment. I call for less comfort in prison, drastic rehabilitation practices, shorter sentences, execution of repeat offenders of serious crimes, and immediate execution of those committing "heinous" crimes. Simple reforms really -- but our liberal society either doesn't have the stomach for it, or is too afraid of personal negative ramifications.

Hey, my total knowledge of this is from watching a TV show on how horrible prisons are (lots of disease)...what do I know. I do think however if I had a choice between prison and old sparky, I would choose the chair.

I think it's goal is to recruit "gay" teens INTO activism.
Not to recruit straight teens.

We need a school voucher system, folks. We need the means to pull our children out of a self-destructive school and place them in a school that has returned to providing a real education without the penalty of paying both taxes and tuitions. The school system should offer us choices instead of all chanting the same politically-correct activist mantra. I believe GWB supports voucher systems; this should be a "huge" item on the conservative ticket -- and only a couple years left to get it done.

We can't fight against the judges who keep ruling in favor of special homosexual rights. And it appears we can't even stop it in some of the schools.

1. I call for less comfort in prison, drastic rehabilitation practices, shorter sentences,
2. execution of repeat offenders of serious crimes, and immediate execution of those committing "heinous" crimes. Simple reforms really -- but our liberal society either doesn't have the stomach for it, or is too afraid of personal negative ramifications.1. Agreed on the reforms of easy prisons.
2. Disagree.
I once saw a documentary about EXILE as a way to punish serious offenders. It was very interesting.
It had to do with a German man who stabbed and killed his girlfriend. There were in India somewhere, where drugs were accepted for tourists. They were both high and got into a fight. They were both addicts.
The young German man was sentenced to 25 years -life in an Indian prison. Indian prisons aren't, er, nice.
After 15 years as a model prisoner he was given an opportunity to be "exiled," that is, finish out his life on a remote island, with a group of 400 Indian islanders.
He accepted. It was an extremely quiet, simple life. He learned to make door frames and that was his job.
He married and a local woman and they had six children.
After another ten years, his life sentence was commuted and he was allowed to leave.
He chose to stay with his Indian wife and family, saying that if he returned to Germany he would probably go right back on drugs.
His eldest son has HIS green eyes and blond hair and spoke English, with a German accent. Weird.
This made me think that there MIGHT be alternatives to life-long incarceration in a cage, execution and "nice" prisons.
Not really arguing with you, so_real, just a thought.

I'm certainly open to suggestions :-) I don't like the thought of killing anyone either. But, I do have the stomach for it where I believe it's the best solution. If exile does the trick (protects citizens without a perpetual financial burden), I'll support it!

""Color me skeptical. I don't see how you can recruit a straight kid to be gay.""
"From what we hear, the U.S. prison system does a fine job of it."
There is evidence the prison sex is not related to sexual desire, but it is a weapon used by some inmates for domination of the other inmates.
It is of the same nature as rape, which is not a crime of sexyal passion. Rape is considered a crime of violence, done to hurt and humiliate the victim.

You're right. Sometimes I defeatist attitude will cause others to become really angry and turn that anger into action. But at this point I seriously don't know what we can do. Our kids are being brainwashed at earlier and earlier ages that sex in any form with any one (and probably soon anything) is not only acceptable, but to be celebrated as finding one's self. And we wonder why are children are so self-absorbed and self-centered. And you watch TV now and see the homosexual characters flaunting their perverted sexuality. Homosexual immorality permeates our culture at every level now, from Massachusetts and homosexual marriage to major corporations kowtowing to them to special laws for them. Difficult to see things turning around.
