Here it is:

Despite Bill Clinton's signature of the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996 which was designed to establish a legal definition of marriage as a union between a man and a woman, the issue of gay marriage has reared it ugly head again.

I say ugly because the radical gay agenda is about recruitment of our children, lowering the age of sexual consent and re moving the cultural taboos regarding pedophilia. Gay marriage will provide access to children that was previously not available to the radicals within the movement.

Among the many books available about the subject, one of the most informative s Tammy Bruce's best selling book "The Death of Right and Wrong." Bruce is a liberal lesbian and former president of the Los Angeles chapter of NOW as well as a national columnist and television commentator. She has worked with Congress to change the Department of Education's support for the radical gay agenda and is an outspoken advocate against the radicals who are actively working with judicial activists who subvert the laws currently in place in our country and harm our children. Her book outlines the grab for our children and how the radicals are going about fulfilling their desires.

Bruce's book is well researched and quotes directly from dozens of outspoken advocates of the gay agenda as well as the Department of Education. One such quote is from Judith Levine, author and activist: "sex is not harmful to our children...there are ways the smallest children can partake in it."

Research on this topic is readily available and much of what the agenda proposes is unprintable in a family newspaper, but a review of some of the material provides the following:

1) In Vermont, a program was instituted called Outright Vermont. Vermont schools advertise this program on bulletin boards and the materials contain links to web sites which lead to adult gay male porn web sites. Last year, New York City opened the first gay high school in the nation; one has to wonder what the curriculum looks like.

2) Former Governor Gay Davis of California signed a sex education law that requires students to adopt a healthy attitude toward homosexuality. The National Education Association has been developing programs to incorporate the gay agenda into our public schools for children of all ages. Many programs have been in place for over 20 years and the curricula is getting more radical each year. In addition, the NEA is trying to force governments to require both home-schoolers and private schools to teach pro-gay agendas or refuse to validate their diplomas. Not content with the 20-year "Heather Has Two Mommies" book,now the NEA has successfully sponsored a curriculum which some schools have adopted that requires children to partake in "Gay Day" which involves playacting.

3) In March 2002, Penn State University featured an advocate of pedophilia at a women's health conference, despite congressional disapproval and parental concerns.

4) In 1998, the American Psychological Associated claimed that pedophilia often "does not cause intense harm on a pervasive basis."

5) The North American Man Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) is a regularly quoted member of the gay movement and pedophile themes abound in their literature. Their web site quotes "...instead of condemning pedophiles for their involvement with lesbian and gay youth, we should be supporting them." The gay movement does not condemn these comments or ask that the Association refrain from attaching itself to their agenda.

6) The taboo against adult-child sex is eroding and the New York Times and other cultural elite press regularly praise literary works containing pedophilia relationships. One of the hundreds of examples: Poet Allen Ginsberg was a pedophile and member of NAMBLA. His poetry contained explicit references to pedophilia and yet when he died in 1997, journalists praised him as an icon whose poetry was without rival.

Researchers differ on the numbers, but approximately 25% of gay men report they were molested as children which they blame for setting htem on the road to homosexuality. This is not to paint all gays as having predatory motives, but I believe that gay marriage will provide an access to children through adoption that is unprecedented and dangerous. And yet, we are told that praying in school is dangerous to our kids. Moral relativism is standing on its head.
