FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. WORD! — Ova' de last decade, gay-rights activists gots pushed honky codes t'suppo't gay and lesbian students in public farms. Deir success be strikin':

Mo'e dan 3,000 Gay-Straight Alliance clubs meet across de country. Slap mah fro! Nearly half some million students snatch some vow uh silence one day each sprin' in an annual event t'suppo't gay rights. Califo'nia may soon require textscribblin's t'feature da damn contribushuns uh gays and lesbians droughout histo'y.

Slap mah fro! Critics, mostly on de religious right, view all dis as promotin' de "homosexual lifestyle." Unable t'stop it, dey gots turned t'a new strategy, dig dis: demandin' equal time fo' deir view in public farms and on college campuses.

Conservative Christians and Jews gots teamed down wid dudes and honky chicks who call demselves "ex-gay" t'lobby — and even sue — fo' de right t'tell teenagers dat dey kin "heal" demselves uh unwants'ed same-sex attracshuns.

Dey argue dat farms gots an obligashun t'balance gay-pride demes wid de message dat gay and lesbian students kin go straight drough "reparative derapy. Slap mah fro!" In dis view, homosexuality be not some fixed o' inbo'n trait but some symptom uh emoshunal distress — some diso'da' dat kin be cured...
