TORONTO, March 13, 2015 (LifeSiteNews.com) -- A homosexual activist has candidly admitted that gay-themed materials and policies pushed in grade schools across North America are for the sake of “indoctrinating” children into an unquestioning acceptance of homosexuality.
“I am here to tell you: All that time I said I wasn't indoctrinating anyone with my beliefs about gay and lesbian and bi and trans and queer people? That was a lie,” writes long-time Canadian gay activist S. Bear Bergman in a piece appearing on Huffington Post a week ago tellingly titled ‘I Have Come to Indoctrinate Your Children Into My LGBTQ Agenda (And I'm Not a Bit Sorry).’
Bergman, who runs a Toronto-based publishing company making books for children that positively portrays “LGBTQ” people, is the transgender partner of J. Wallace, a gender equity adviser at the Toronto District School Board (TDSB).
Bergman writes that as a young activist, he often entertained a “delicious fantasy” of wishing that as a child he had been given the pro-LGBTQ mentors, workshops, and resources that kids today are freely given in schools.
“In [my fantasy], I was ushered into the world of queerness with care and tenderness by experienced homos and trans people (in my imagination they were like very fabulous versions of my favorite camp counselors from childhood). I would be issued my leather jacket and my protest pins, my safer sex supplies and a hotline of some kind I could call if I needed it.”
Bergman recounts that as a young gay activist he was taught how to refute accusations that the movement was engaging in “indoctrination and recruiting.” He was to tell concerned parents that he was “just providing an alternate viewpoint.” He was to use “soft” language when speaking about homosexuality.
But Bergman writes that he is tired of the “lie.”
“All 25 years of my career as an LGBTQ activist, since the very first time as a 16-year-old I went and stood shaking and breathless in front of eleven people to talk about My Story, I have been on a consistent campaign of trying to change people's minds about us. I want to make them like us. That is absolutely my goal … even if that goes against the way you have interpreted the teachings of your religion.”
“I want to be present in their emotional landscapes as a perfectly nice dad and writer who is married to another guy. Who used to be a girl (kind of). Who is friendly and cheerful and not scary at all, no matter what anyone says.”
“That is our job: to encourage people, especially children, to think differently about a subject than they do now,” he continues. “To dispel the dim and dismal miasma of myths and stereotypes, and instead allow the light of truth and fairness to shine in. That's the deal, my friends. And if we have done it -- if we have come to a place where a kid has been struggling in the muck of ignorance and hatred, and helped them up and cleaned them off and sent them to play in a meadow of love or at least kindness -- then baby, we have done the thing well.”
While Bergman paints a “friendly and cheerful” picture of the gay lifestyle, he fails to mention the serious health risks tied to homosexual behaviors. These include increased rates of sexually transmitted diseases, bacterial and viral infections, depression, and even cancer.
Research done in 2002 by Dr. John R. Diggs found that same-sex sexual behaviors expose gays, lesbians and bisexuals to “extreme risks of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), physical injuries, mental disorders and even a shortened life span.” Common sexual practices among gay men were found to lead to “numerous STDs and physical injuries, some of which are virtually unknown in the heterosexual population.” Gay and bisexual men were found to “lose up to 20 years of life expectancy.”
The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have warned on numerous occasions that HIV rates, already at epidemic proportions, are continuing to climb steadily among men who have ‘sex’ with men. The CDC has stated that gay and bisexual men continue to remain at the epicenter of what they call a “HIV/AIDS epidemic.”
Bergman also fails to point out the spiritual damage that religions across the world say is caused by homosexual activity. Christianity, Islam, and Judaism categorically reject homosexual practices in the strongest language as a direct rejection of God and his plan for human sexuality.
Christianity — “For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural, and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error” (Letter to Romans 1:26).
Islam — “…For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds.... And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone)” (The Qur'an 7:80-84).
Judaism — “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination” (Leviticus 18:22).
The Catholic Church calls homosexual acts “intrinsically disordered” since they “close the sexual act to the gift of life.”
Despite accusations of ‘homophobia,’ the Catholic Church actually teaches that people struggling with same-sex attraction “must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sing of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided.”
Bergman is not the first homosexual activist to admit the movement aims to “indoctrinate” children into their worldview.
In 2011 U.S. gay activist Daniel Villarreal penned a column for Queerty.com stating that the time had come for the homosexual lobby to admit to “indoctrinating” schoolchildren to accept homosexuality.
“Why would we push anti-bullying programs or social studies classes that teach kids about the historical contributions of famous queers unless we wanted to deliberately educate children to accept queer sexuality as normal?”
“We want educators to teach future generations of children to accept queer sexuality. In fact, our very future depends on it. Recruiting children? You bet we are,” he added.
“I for one,” continued Villarreal, “certainly want tons of school children to learn that it’s OK to be gay, that people of the same sex should be allowed to legally marry each other, and that anyone can kiss a person of the same sex without feeling like a freak. And I would very much like for many of these young boys to grow up and start f**ing men.”
In September 2014, Bergman’s publishing company offered a free “trans-positive kids (JK-2) book” to Toronto District School Board libraries. He said he was combating “fear-mongering” from school trustee Sam Sotiropoulos who had taken a stand against homosexual activism in the school board.
Bergman and Wallace’s book list for kids to “break gender stereotypes” has 54 titles, including:
Bergman concludes his Huffington Post by declaring he would be “delighted” if he could convince children to disagree with their parents on homosexuality.
“I want kids to know [we're perfectly fine and often really excellent] even if their parents' or community's interpretation of their religious tenets is that we're awful. I would be happy -- delighted, overjoyed I tell you -- to cause those children to disagree with their families on the subject of LGBTQ people.”
“If that makes me an indoctrinator, I accept it. Let me be honest -- I am not even a little bit sorry.”
And yet we're dismissed as paranoid for saying that there's a homosexual agenda.

That may be their agenda, but what's their end game? It should be at the forefront of the mind of every heterosexual human being. What does the homosexual lobby gain from indoctrinating children?
This is all about a culture of death! This is about an end to the human species through a lack of procreation. They've already made an indelible mark on humanity by confusing our youth, and they continue to want to corrupt them. To what end?
I am incredibly dubious about the idea that homosexuals can co-exist with us. If you're not procreating, your only use for genital stimulation is personal pleasure which is selfish and serves no purpose outside of one's own sphere of influence. As such, it serves no purpose other than to pervert the nature of humanity's natural want to continue.
Go diddle yourself in private. Don't corrupt our children, you freaks!
According to the CDC's National Health Interview Survey, 1.6 percent of adults self-identify as gay or lesbian, and 0.7 percent consider themselves bisexual.
Also according to the CDC, 13,834 people with an AIDS diagnosis died in 2011.
Why is there so much interest by liberals in "assault weapon" control and absolutely no emphasis on unsafe behavior control? Unsafe behavior by infected individuals is many times more dangerous than any gun.
Duh. So?
Our country’s crumbling morality is like a failing immune system and diseases like this are moving in to infect us. I pray for an awakening.
LGBTQ is a Sex Cult ?
Personally if they wish to be gay, let them, I do not care for it but this is America, but they really need to knock it off with pushing it to everyone else who may not agree with it but they do not bother them, I swear just something about flamboyant gays, ethnic-centric folks (black and white), and rabid feminists I really dislike, they just cause so much drama and just bother people for no reason.
I’m not sorry to say these folks are absolutely mentally ill. They are given over to perversion. They aren’t even ashamed of it anymore. They parade their sins with pride. Sadly, there is no evil that man won’t do without God. They condemn themselves with their thoughts and deeds.
I swear just something about flamboyant gays
To your point~~~the gay agenda can be pushed and pushed. When your “natural” human instincts kick in and you want to have a physical relation with another person the natural attraction is to the opposite sex, how can you just ignore that?
How can you go against nature? Personally, it would make me physically ill to be with another woman! (all due respect to women) That cannot be changed!!
they will it make it mandatory soon enough
Agreed, they can push it all they want, I would rather be with a fat overweight woman of any skin color than a man, I will never do that, its against my nature and heck I to this day still do not like when some dude touches me for no reason.
good grief. I may be ill
That’s fine, I don’t begrudge people who are gay. My problem is with the militant homosexuals, those who decry a baker’s decision not to cater to their “wedding” and abuse the justice system to put them out of business. That’s disgusting to me, and I’m fed up with it.
[[That may be their agenda, but what’s their end game?]]
Their end game is the same as Satan’s end game- to pervert God’s creation- to make as many people fall away from God as possible- there IS a spiritual warfare going on, and it has been satan’s long time goal to pervert and corrupt the creation of God since the beginning of time-
[[This is about an end to the human species through a lack of procreation.]]
Precisely, this is a demonic attempt to cut down on procreation so as to cut down on people who turn to God, so that evil will eventually be so overwhelming that moral people simply don’t stand a chance any longer-
[[I am incredibly dubious about the idea that homosexuals can co-exist with us.]]
They do NOT wish to coexist- they wish to dominate sand control - and you are seeing a massive effort to do just htat in the last 6 years-
[[That’s fine, I don’t begrudge people who are gay.]]
Even after the countless harm they’ve done to society, and the massive suffering they have caused not only their own kind but innocent people as well? How many heterosexuals have contracted aids, hepatitis etc from blood transfusions? From caring for people with aids? How much has their deviant WILLFUL/CHOICE lifestyle cost this country? How about the gay rapists spreading their disease knowingly not only in this country but in places like Haiti, Africa etc in massive numbers?
Sorry I do begrudge them for the devastation they have wrought in this world- they aren’t just ‘innocent people who don’t bother anyone’ they absolutely DO bother others by the devastation they cause- they have ruined countless lives all down through the ages- Imagine the parent, who’s child contracted aids from a blood transfusion, standing over their dying child- Imagine the parent in Africa watching their child waste away from aids after the child was raped by an aids infected homo- Noone can tell me that the gay lifestyle is simply one where they ‘keep to themselves and don’t bother anyone’
The constant feed of more and better reasons to home school.
