For added interest, check the source and read some of the comments this article has gotten.
I'll try to do some pinging later...if I don't get to it, you wanna ping it out?
Pinging a few of you I've seen on the threads of her other articles.
I bet you'd like this too.
Why not allow Porn clubs and Girl friend swap clubs in High school.
A gay straight alliance club is nothing more than an opportunity for Queers to meet others of like mind for sex.
Perhaps if they are lucky they will even suck some straight person in. (Pun Intended)
I have been speaking out for over 20 years, and I continue to do so, even tho I no longer have children of school age.
You can push back and ought not to be worried about peer pressure from your friends or relatives who think you are over-reacting. You will have the future of your family in your hands.
Actually it is primarily about getting kids to think "I must be gay". And even if they can't convince kids they're "gay", they aim to create a generation of homosexual agenda supporters.
Parents have a very few years in which to influence their children. They should take their responsibility very seriously.
And people like us whose kids are grown should care about the future of our country (and indeed, the world). The radical homosexual agenda knowns no national boundaries, and it is not benign.
A typical large high school will probably have 3-5 kids who already identify themselves as being homosexual. Maybe that number again who identify themselves as being bisexual. In turn, double that number of their friends feel it necessary to support the homosexual and bisexual kids in some way, out of comraderie.
Some percent of homosexual and bisexual kids lose all support in the home after identifying themselves as such to their parents. They continue to live there, but only on condition that they leave as soon as possible.
On top of that, homosexual and bisexual kids have far higher incidence of psychological and physical problems, often eclipsing their sexuality. Their suicide rate is quite high and they are generally less functional in society.
For these reasons, it is probably a better idea that they have some opportunity for support among their peers. The only other option they have is the adult homosexual community, which can be very agenda driven, and some of whose members may exploit or manipulate such kids, away from a structured environment like their school.
The existence of such organizations as gay-straight clubs has little impact on other straight students. If anything, other students are sad for the homosexuals and bisexuals, as even high school kids can foresee the extra hardships that will befall them throughout their lives.
Notice how the Marxist subverters, the Church of Criminal Orthodoxy, are unable to proceed without hiding in the shadows like so many disease-ridden vermin cowering in the sewers.
Yes, they are wimps. Yes, they are cowards who will never stand up like men and fight in the open, because they are neither strong enough nor intelligent enough to do so. Deception is used only to the extent required by a lack of intelligence and a lack of strength; this fact can only breed more resentment in the minds of the Marxists. Only the bravest and the brightest among them have any chance of escaping the Church of Criminal Orthodoxy to join us in this cultural war which I for one promise to fight until the end.
The worst part is the farther you go in your educational "experience" the stronger you have to be as you are attacked on all sides. In college I was always asked to give the "Puritan Opinion".
The reason kids who identify as bisexual or homosexual have a higher incidence of psychological problems is because such sexual identity confusion is in itself a psychological problem. Such kids need to be told the truth that they don't have to be "gay", not a bunch of homosexual agenda lies.
Just so you know where Popo is coming from, here are a few gems of wisdom from his comments on other threads:
"Religious republicans are not conservatives."
"The religious conservative argues that having God is not enough, that an individual's right to express their sectarian view of God is more important that the feelings of those who do not share those views."

This must be terribly aggravating to homosexuals who shut up and do their jobs. On one side religious people varying from a degree of laissez-faire distate, to those who want them killed; on the other side, those who want to use and abuse them for their own political agenda, while despising them behind their backs. That is, the democrats.
Perhaps there is some value to the "log cabin republicans", whose biggest advocacy seems to be "If I shut up and do my job, will you leave me alone?"
I can appreciate that. Two important omissions to the Bill of Rights should be: The Right to be Ignored, and the Right to Not be Pestered.
People who are happy to be ignored when they are doing their jobs and obeying the law should not be pestered.
If you open up your mouth and make a fool of yourself, you lose you right to not be pestered. The same with demanding that other people pay attention to you. That's basic libel law.
But if you shut up and do your job, you have a right to be ignored and not be pestered.

In America, and properly, "your sect's beliefs end where my nose begins." It is a contract of courtesy, to have a secular law that respects all and elevates no religion above any others.
The lack of this courtesy expressed by some sectarians is truly offensive. I have even seen a senior Army chaplain relieved of duty because he was unable, or unwilling, to differentiate what was believed in his own sect from US Army policy. He was not hired to preach his (uneducated) interpretation of the Bible to others. He was hired to attend to the spiritual needs of soldiers desperately in need of spiritual solace. A senior officer does not tell a junior officer and enlisted men they are going to Hell because they are Jews, and all Jews are damned to Hell.
To the subject at hand. Students in a public school are in an "alma mater" circumstance. This means that the school, and by extrapolation the government, are responsible for their health and well-being while they are on school grounds.
A secular attitude is that this affords *neither* that they are indoctrinated or educated outside of the sensibilities of their parents, as long as to do so will not render those children incapable of functioning in society; *nor* does it mean that sectarian religious sensibilities may intrude--in effect a religion punishing people who are not members of their religion, and in a public school, yet.
In what I previously wrote, I carefully stated that these are children who "self identify" as being homosexual. From that point on, it is no one's business but theirs and their parents if they continue to remain homosexual. There is absolutely no right or liberty available in this country that permits or should encourage them to be bothered by anyone else on the subject.
But that being said, their self identification with being a homosexual in no way abrogates or lessens the school's "alma mater" responsibility. Which highlights my second point, that frequently such homosexual students are in need of greater attention for their psychological and health needs.
For a school to not provide for students that are "at-risk" for suicide, or suffering from other problems that interfere with their education, is to fail in their mission as educators. And this does not mean trying to convince them that they are not homosexuals. That is not a function of public schools, nor should it be.
The last argument that can be made against gay-straight clubs is that it might encourage non-gay students to become gay. That is utter hogwash, even on its surface.
Students who go to such clubs spend most of their time complaining how miserable and poorly treated by others they are, not hugging and kissing or worse. Who in their right mind would want to become a homosexual after hearing such tales of woe?
Plus, you have to wonder that if a student just "happens" to stay after school, and "happens" to drop in on a gay-straight meeting, and through some miracle they "convince" him to become a homosexual, isn't there just a tiny chance that he already "knew" he was a homosexual?
In the final analysis, I see the argument as being the same as if a local mosque decided that girls should not be taught in the same class as boys, and that their religion is being descriminated against because everybody isn't forced to do things their way.
Your assertion that GSAs do not indoctrinate, promote or encourage homosexual experimentation among students is based on ignorance (which I doubt) or the fact that you consider the homosexual agenda laudable.
One or the other.
Every single monotheist religion in the world (and some that aren't, such as Buddhism) share the same basic moral standards. To promote sexual deviance subverts the rights of parents, for starters.
Your statement that kids who self-identify as homosexual are more "at risk" (a purely liberalesque phrase if ever there was one) for suicide is also propaganda.
I suppose the next comment you make will be that "one in ten" is homosexual.
I would add (if I were the author of the article, which I am not) that the basic moral principles of Judeo-Christianity are amazingly congruent with other religions as well. Personally, few would call me a Christian although I study the Bible (as well as the Vedas). Human sexuality has, throughout civilized history, been condemned outside of marriage, and certain sexual behaviors (homosexuality and bestiality, for two examples) been soundly condemned.
The promotion of such aberrant behaviors augurs nothing but destruction.
Your reference to the "jack-booted thuggery" of homosexuals is an unusual choice of words. Do you associate homosexuals with sado-masochism, and if so, why with such rare intensity? Under ordinary circumstances such agitation would seem suspect.
Well, be that as it may, would it surprise you that a majority of homosexuals are not radical leftists, nor belong to the homosexual "community", and in fact are otherwise undistiguishable in normal society? You probably associate with some in the course of an ordinary day, without ever suspecting that they are homosexuals.
As far as swishy gay types, they are actually in the minority. Often blue collar workingman's bars are homosexual haunts, filled with construction workers, taxi drivers, heavy equipment operators and other jobs like that. You would suspect them of being neaderthals before you would think that they were homosexuals.
In truth, the self-appointed homosexual agenda leaders are as unrepresentative as are the self-appointed black leaders, or the self-appointed leaders of NOW are to the typical American woman.
Forced Atheism didn't work too well in Poland.
