Fistgate to be Held Again on March 15

Fistgate IV will be held again on March 15 to teach teenagers how to play with the sexual organs of other students.

The first Fistgate was in 2000 and caused waves of protests from parents and others. It was exposed by the Parents Rights Coalition which taped part of the scandal so that people would finally understand what was happening, and by MassNews which reported it.

The homosexual community has said that its agenda was badly damaged by the scandal. It was almost unable to find a location for the event in 2001, but Tufts University finally did let them use its facilities again.

The sponsor of the event, GLSEN, an acronym for Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, says that the purpose of Fistgate is to teach safety and respect. But the event that was taped in 2000 went on for 55 minutes about explicit forms of homosexual sex, including thrusting your fist into another's rectum, before anything was even mentioned about condoms in the last five minutes.

Four years later in 2003, the Gay/Straight Alliance at Newton North High School, with the help of the state Dept, of Education, is handing out leaflets to students arriving at the school, which ask questions such as, "If you have never slept with a person of the same sex, how do you know that you wouldn't prefer that?"

It lists BAGLY as a resource for the teenagers to contact. In 1999, which was before Fistgate, MassNews reported that BAGLY offered $25 and free dinner to boys who would come to their headquarters in Boston and discuss homosexual sex and other issues. The boys were also invited to a free, three-day, lakeside, weekend retreat in New Hampshire with other "boys" up to 25-years, who are "attracted to or have sex with other men."

The following is printed on the Newton High pamphlets: "This project is supported by a grant from the Massachusetts Department of Education."

The state has been paying more than $1.5 million/year to help the Gay/Straight Alliances in the schools and similar activities. It is impossible to discover how much money is now going to those projects. Some of the money always went to GLSEN and it is assumed that much of it still does. <

LOL GOOD ONE!!!! After reading about the fisting, I am SO GRATEFUL that I have never had any homosexual leanings. That doesn't sound like a pleasurable experience to me!!!!! OUCH and UGH!!!!

(Yawn) This is in Massachusetts, right?
Those people get exactly what they deserve.
I can already envision my relatives in Maine once again shaking their heads and muttering, "mass-holes".

Good luck!

"They neglect to mention that the “parents” that taped the previous conference violated state statute and are defendants in an ongoing civil suit (such remedy is also detailed in state statute), even though the MassNews itself recently published another editorial about that suit."

I will NOT debate the legality of taping dangerous deviants corrupting the malleable minds of our children. I'll play you Leftists/RINO's at your own game-by ANY means necessary we should protect our children from PREDATORS! HomoFascists have absolutely NO right to go into schools to promote perversion.

It's time for all good people to draw a line in the sand, and drive the HomoFascists back into the sewer they slithered from!

Did Mitt Romney say anything about Fistgate during his gubernatorial campaign?

[Lancey Howard]

This reposrt from the Mass News is more honest than anything the Boston Globe has done in 30 years. It's interesting that you find the report so upsetting. You a homo?

[Lancey Howard]

You a homo?

Nevermind.
I went back and read some posts and I see what you are.
Don't post anything to me.

He's talking about journalistic integrity, not any other kind of morality. He obviously doesn't like Mass News. And I doubt he appreciates being called a leftist for no good reason.

That having been said, I think that a lot of people are contradictory on the idea of civil disobedience. When someone on the left commits some misdemeanor rather than go against their own particular beliefs, a lot of people here use the argument that "the law is the LAW," and say that there's never any justification for breaking it. Then people here applaud those on the right who do just that. They're sometimes inconsistent.

Now, I think it would be consistent to say that the law is the law and yet agree with the viability of civil disobedience, provided that anybody who participates in it still has to face the appropriate punishment. But it's hypocritical to only allow for disregard of the law when you disagree with it.

"Is that the “anarchy is okay so long as I agree with it” defense?"

You don't consider HomoFascism as anarchy against all things decent? Against the spirit of children?

You are obviously doing your part to shop legitimacy for NAMBLA, which is what all GLSEN exists for. I consider you my Enemy, an Enemy of America, and the Enemy of children everywhere. End of story.

Mass News has done a good job of reporting what the Globe won't. The headline using the Fistgate was meant to get the readers attention. Any publication worth its salt uses that technique.

The two good men who cared enough to tape this forum and expose it, are now in debt thanks to having to defend themselves for having done so.

Perhaps this year you will invite the press of YOUR choice to attend, tape, and report what they observe.

Damn, I'm sure that will come to mind when I grind coffee in the morning.

I hate you!

"NAMBLA? In case you’re unaware, NAMBLA hasn’t been seen or heard from in three years. There is no evidence that they even EXIST as a viable organization anymore."

I'll let your Denial speak for itself....

[DeathfromBelow]

NAMBLA's goal is to end the oppression of men and boys who have mutually consensual relationships. NAMBLA's membership is open to everyone sympathetic to personal freedom. http://www.nambla.org

Journalist integrity????

A group of people in a small room behind a closed door at a private conference have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

A group of people talking about sadomasochistic acts with underage children do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy. The particular wiretapping statute in use in Massachusetts is the exception, not the rule in the United States; in most jurisdictions, one is entitled to record any conversation in which one is a participant. So to claim it's a 'right' is specious.

As for the argument that if you don't obey the law, it's anarchy, do you advocate celibacy for homosexuals in the many states in which sodomy is still a crime? If not, you're a hypocrite.
