You guys got in late, go back and read some of the other posts if you have time.

Basically there were 2 sides:
1) Those who thought the kid was gay anyway and the parents should have checked what was going on in the school.
2) Those who thought that the school was indoctrinating the kids with the ideas of acceptance, tolerance, Love is love no matter the sex, and hordes of other left wing drivel. As such, the kid was likely to have been more likely to attend the seminar at the end of the semester because his morality had been broken down throughout the summer through the constant rampage on the sensibilities of the students.

I am obviously in the 2nd camp. If you read some other accounts of the schools you will find that children with a belief in God were buffooned and shouted down.

The most telling thing for me was that the book that the seminar was modeled after was designed to make children question their sexuality... and I have to think that the 2 gay teachers were interested in promoting that mindset of confusion throughout the semester.

Thanks for the recap. I cruised through a few of the posts. I agree. This is a problem in many campuses, be it Evangelical or Catholic Christian campuses. Those who speak out against it are automatically labeled "bigots."

It appears that there is an not so subtle agenda to twist biblical teachings into the untruth by these gay activists.

It also seems that they are using the classic "weapon" of doubt and deception over their sexuality in these so called "seminars," does it not? The message might sound new to the students, but the manner in which is delivered is ancient.

When you read something similar to:

"Psychology, psychiatry, and social work have been captured by an ultra-liberal agenda"
"Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects"
"If psychology is to soar like an eagle, it needs both a left wing and a right wing."

You might think a radical, right-wing, fanatical conservative wrote it. But you would be wrong. Read the very interesting reviews here:

Destructive Trends in Mental Health: The Well-Intentioned Path to Harm (NARTH)
Destructive Trends in Mental Health: The Well-Intentioned Path to Harm (Division42.org)

It's long past time we returned to common sense on the issue of homosexuality, especially in regards to children.

Thank you for the information.
There is a lot to read on this thread

I was just reading somebody who said the kid didn't say he was gay and from some of the comments it seems he did say he was gay. I can't find any quotes from the kid or his parents where he said he was gay, just questioning his sexuality. That does change the situation.

Your camp 2 seems the most likely.
