The Battle Over Gay Teens What happens when you come out as a kid? How gay youths are challenging the right--and the left
In May, David Steward, a former president of TV Guide, and his partner Pierre Friedrichs, a caterer, hosted an uncomfortably crowded cocktail party at their Manhattan apartment. It was a typical gay fund raiser--there were lemony vodka drinks with mint sprigs; there were gift bags with Calvin Klein sunglasses; Friedrichs prepared little blackened-tuna-with-mango-chutney hors d'oeuvres that were served by uniformed waiters. Billionaire philanthropist Edgar Bronfman Sr. was there; David Mixner, a gay activist and longtime friend of Bill Clinton's, was holding court with Jason Moore, director of the musical Avenue Q.
But the odd thing was that the gay (and gay-friendly) élite had gathered to raise money not for one of its established charities--the Human Rights Campaign, say, or the Democratic National Committee--but for an obscure organization that has quietly become one of the fastest-growing gay groups in the nation, the Point Foundation. Launched in 2001, Point gives lavish (often full-ride) scholarships to gay students. It is one of the few national groups conceived explicitly to help gay kids, and it is a leading example of how the gay movement is responding to the emergence this decade of hundreds of thousands of openly gay youths.

How about scholarships for celibates?
Leading our children to Hell, one step at a time.
What surprises me is I don't think there are enough gay people out there to support this stuff.
There is a special test you take, that will have you walking bowlegged.
Campus ban ROTC scholarship students, but gay scholarships is okay. Ya gotta hand it to those guys, they know how to hand out the inducements.
Of course, there might be some bad actors out there who might pretend to be gay just to get the scholarship. I wonder how their "verification" process works to weed out the fakers.
LOL. Gays do have a wicked sense of humor though, I'll give them that.
There is no such thing as a homosexual - everyone is created as a normal sexual being but some become perverted and depraved (including all those that are commonly referred to as homosexuals).
Freudian slip?
"The degenerate entertainment industry...has over-sexualized kids culture to the saturation point and beyond."
What's weird to me is that fairly mainstream buddy comedies like "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle" and "Saving Silverman" have persistent homosexual subtexts. Both films struck me as heavy on this. It seemed gratuitous and totally out of place.
In "Silverman" Jack Black (Jack Black!) discovers through Amanda Peet's devious psychotherapy that he's gay. And it followed this through to the end, that he really was gay.
This is how homosexual addicts prowl the Internet for teenage prey.
How can you bitch about it when you are part of the problem.
tv/movies are a poison pump. Disconnect it or die.

Gays seem to be defining themselves as a new RACE of people.
Well, how can they change if they're Born gay?
Targeting teens and children is a ploy to convince everyone it's all in the genes, (when it isn't) and to halt anyone from morally appealing to gays to change. That's the name of THAT tune.
One can give money to whomever one wants, unless it is a criminal enterprise. It is called FREEDOM Billybob. File an amicus brief.
Good to see you, TAdams! I was thinking about you lately, haven't run into you on the threads I've been frequenting.
Yup, get them early, get them often. That's their strategy. "Childrens' rights". Remember Hitlery was involved in the "Childrens' Defense Fund" or some organization? Childrens' liberation? So they can divorce their parents if their parents commit the heinous crime of bringing them to church, or disciplining them?
