There's a similar club in my elder son's high school (with the official backing of the faculty, of course).

Last year, the club distributed a ribbon everyone was encouraged to wear for a week. Many refused, in spite of pressure from their "more tolerant, more enlightened" peers. My son was one who refused.

Last night, he asked me to proofread his persuasive essay assignment. I was touched to find it was about why homosexual marriage is a bad thing.

That's my boy. :-)

Thanks for reminding me that I want to give a speech on this topic in my Toasmasters Club. We have a lot of members from the liberal university so it might be a good test. If they don't like it they can leave.

That's excellent!

Good for your son!

But,,why is the government forcing your child to associate with others pressuring him to give up his religious, political, and cultural beliefs regarding homosexuality? ( "with the official backing of the faculty, of course")

There is a problem here with the First Amendment Right to freely express a religious belief, a right to freely assemble or not assemble with pro-homosexual people, and a prohibition against government establishing a religion. Well....It seems to me that the government school in this case is working hard to destroy the religious belief of some students, while at the same time establishing a worldview ( with religious consequences) in favor of homosexuality.
