WHAT "GAY" STUDENT CLUBS WILL BRING TO YOUR SCHOOL

Clubs dealing with homosexuality are being considered in high schools, middle schools and soon (if "gay" activists have achieve their goals) in elementary schools in the U.S. Their advocates claim that these clubs are about "tolerance" and creating an accepting climate for students who are otherwise outcasts. And-this claim is made over and over- sex is NOT discussed at meetings. All the students want is acceptance and a "safe" place to go.

Is this claim true? And even if it is, would discussion of homosexual tolerance alone be a good thing? To be fair, some of the club meetings we've read about do seem to conduct business in a relatively mild tone. The students talk about teen concerns, have social "ice-breaker" games, and incorporate the perennial teen favorite---food. However, one still has to remember the bottom line reason these students are meeting-to defend their right to have homosexual sex, and to reinforce misinformation and bias against heterosexuality, traditional marriage and certain religions.

And sometimes the activities of the club are not so harmless. Here are some of the documented activities of these clubs, often called "gay/straight alliances" (GSA's), that should be of grave concern to parents and school officials.

1. A "gay" club will demand that the school hold pro-homosexual events. Many clubs have been the sponsors of "Coming Out" day in October, when students (and teachers) are celebrated for the "courage" to openly declare their homosexuality. Clubs have also been the catalyst for diversity events dwelling mostly on homosexuality and the massive April "Day of Silence" event. One Massachusetts "gay" club was given a rainbow flag symbolizing homosexual rights at a youth rally, and then persuaded the principal to fly it at their school just below the U.S. flag. Many complaints were received from both parents and veterans.1

2. Hostility and discrimination against those who don't endorse homosexuality will be heightened. A "gay" club in North Andover, Massachusetts sponsored a school forum on "homophobia". They also sent around a school survey which 154 students filled out. One of the questions asked how the person would react if asked out on a date by a person of the same sex. The goal of these students was to change any negative perception of such a social interaction. 2 Other clubs have spoken at teacher "diversity training "meetings, and many "gay" club members have appeared before school board meetings to present their requests. The GSA Network in California recently urged through its newsletter that "gay" club members attend a conference called "Expression, Not Suppression" in Fresno. One of the workshop titles for the day was "The Bible: Weapon of Love or Weapon of Hate?"3

3. Misinformation will be disseminated by the "gay" club to all students. One club in Florida - in a middle school - handed out flyers throughout the school promoting "gay" history month. The idea was that of their adviser, an eighth grade teacher, and was brought to a halt by the administration.4 This strategy is the invention of several activist organizations, and would teach children that major historical figures like Abraham Lincoln, George Frederic Handel (composer of The Messiah) and even the Apostle Paul were probably homosexuals.5

4. Sexual themes will be a substantial focus of the club and will encourage dangerous experimentation by students. A controversial one-day event held at Tufts University in March 2000 described in detail high-risk homosexual practices like "fisting" to students as young as 14. The attendance was drawn substantially from members of gay-straight alliances in the surrounding communities. GLSEN was a co-sponsor of this event.6 Despite widespread publicity and negative reaction, Tufts again hosted the event in 2001, 2002 and 2003.

In 2002, members of a middle school "gay" club at Murphy Junior High in Stony Brook, NY, attended a special presentation by the author of a novel called Rainbow Boys. This book describes teen boys engaged in high-risk heterosexual and homosexual sex. In one episode, a 17 year old has anal sex with a 29 year old man he meets on the Internet. Concerns of parents in the community who objected to this middle school club have been brushed aside. 7

The GSA Network reports on activities and announcements of "gay" clubs all over California. Movie nights are a frequent activity. One recent issue reported a movie night organized by a community "gay" group ( to which school club members were invited) and the movie for this particular night was comedienne Margaret Cho's "I'm the One I Want, " described by one reviewer as containing, among other raunchy material, a gross discussion of female genitalia and douching and how to perform oral sex on males. 8

Another popular movie, "Jeffrey," was one of the features of "Q[ for Queer] Movie Night" of the Hellgate High School gay straight alliance in Missoula, Montana last year. "Jeffrey" is a sexually explicit homosexual film featuring the exploits of a promiscuous "gay" man.9

A recent young women's event held at the Bay area community homosexual organization, LYRIC, was publicized by the GSA Network for its "gay" club members. It was "Make Your Own Sex Toy Night" held on March 27, 2003. These are the kinds of positive opportunities that students involved in GSA's can benefit from. "Let your imagination go wild and create a sex toy you can be proud of!" girls were told.10

5. "Gay" club members and networks have outside allies with their own agendas, including filing lawsuits against the school district. Students are trained as activists by their liaisons with the "gay" community and activist groups outside the school, and they go to the media, the school board, and their legal allies if they don't get their way. At Escambia High School in Pensacola, FL, a student trying to form a gay club defied his prospective club advisor and went to the media after being told not to do so.11 In Westerly, RI, a student reporter contacted the media on his own after the principal decided to pull a story from the student paper highlighting homosexual students. The decision was made to protect the privacy rights of underage students. As a result, the principal and superintendent had to defend its decision in the newspapers.12

Outside speakers from adult "gay" organizations like PFLAG and GLSEN frequently appear in schools to talk with club members. Students are frequently told that, if they need legal help, it is available to them.

The GSA Network in California sued one school district on behalf of a student who claimed to have been harassed without proper school intervention. As a result of the suit between George Loomis and Visalia Unified School District, the school paid a six-figure settlement and now must hold mandatory diversity sessions, some run by the "gay" club members themselves. One newspaper interviewed the executive director of the GSA Network, Carolyn Laub, and described the situation as follows: "Many districts in the Bay Area have long had anti-harassment policies and tolerance training. The Visalia training is different, Laub said, in that it includes annual updates by professional consultants peer-to-peer sessions led by GSA Network students. "13

the theory is not so accepted. Homosexuals hate it because of the implication that homosexuallity developes as a fetish. This does however fit with the tender years doctrine. That there is a states when developing children should NOT be exposed to abnormal homosexual behavior. THese GSA are only recruiting tools. They use modeling to encourage homosexuallity. They have no place in the schools. Perhaps we should have "cure homosexuality clubs" that would be equal time.

Amen, we just bought a new monitor(still in box), think I'll throw this one away to keep from having to wash it. My wife and I are currently talking with other parents who are home-schooling now. We are seriously considering it after reading so many articles featuring morally sick and lost beings successfully recruiting too many other confused individuals to the "dark side". (and many times innocent children). God help our society....

how about a homeschool tax credit? If you want to stop the insanity hit them where they care our tax dollars. The NEA and Federation of Teachers have only ONE concern, the pension fund. Follow the money, its our best weapon.

You should read this link:

The Homosexual Propaganda and Media Manipulation Game

It will open your eyes to the tactics of the homosexual agenda. I have additional similar links if you're interested.

public schools. once a school board allows GLSeN materials or just authorizes teachers to use the materials, the clubs "appear". Its a directed effort of the homosexuals to get into the public school children. Parents should have the option of not having their children taught by homosexuals. It should also not be on the permanent record of the student.

However, one still has to remember the bottom line reason these students are meeting-to defend their right to have homosexual sex, and to reinforce misinformation and bias against heterosexuality, traditional marriage and certain religions.

I would add that the main purpose for these clubs is to indoctrinate and recruit.

the above link contains AUDIO files of ACTUAL teacher meetings with homosexuals ecouraging teachers to engage in experimentation with homosexual sex.

Don't believe, listen for yourself. These materials should be on the desk of every elected official. ESPECIALLY with 2004.

then it is clear that a gender-polarizing society such as ours is already spectacularly effective in producing heterosexuality: 85-95% of all men and women in the United States are exclusively heterosexual.

It's more like 99-98% percent, unless the homo Nazis continue getting to kids as they are in the above article.

Parents should have the option of not having their children taught by homosexuals. It should also not be on the permanent record of the student.

The problem with this method of protecting our kids is that society as a whole is still hurtling to the abyss, and most of the other kids in school are being corrupted, which influences your kids. Just being safe or protected ourselves is no longer an option. Not that we shouldn't protect our families and children first - but if the rest of the country is being force-fed homo Nazi propaganda and there's X-rate homo crap in grades K-12, it'll be a tragedyfor everyone - it's a disease worse and more catching than SARS.

BTW it really is not hard to home school kids. Anyone who can stay home with them can do it.

I am really advocating that parents, especially homeschoolers, should go after the thousands of tax dollars they pay every year for public schools. I don't know of anyone who would no want the money for their children. Its not enough to keep the children out, you have to kill the funding to evil.

And the way the states are hurting for money right now, at least my my current state (OR) they are squeezing taxpayers more and more. The whole system is so FUBAR right now that I can only pray for divine intervention - and that people who are right minded get the strength, wisdom and determination to try to change the direction our country is taking. One thing that encourages me (aside from finding FR!) is that the homo Nazis, leftist traitors, etc are revealing themselves more and more for what they are, taking off their masks, so to speak. And this may give us strength - and help people who are sitting on the fence realize that they have to be in the light or be in the dark and they have to make a choice about it.

My fourth grade son attends a Catholic school and these sort of activities would NEVER be allowed into the class rooms!

It is becoming very expensive for us to keep him in this school but we do without to make sure he stays there.

but UNIFIED parents can get reactions by:

Demanding dollars stop being wasted on encouraging homoseuxal sex in children.

You could even push for school districts to be divided into smaller districts.

Centralization is a problem and a tool for the homosexuals.
(they get excited at forcing normal people to deal with them)

remember angry parents are an effective voting block. (in our district, it was so bad one incumbant had to HIRE supporters to hold signs)

I can tell you that homeschoolers, in general, are disinclined to seek tax dollars for their homeschools because of the strings that would come attached to it. Other simply want to fly below the radar, preferring to have the government unaware of their homeschooling.

The absolute last thing homeschoolers is more regulations, red tape to sift through. Some of us live in states where complying with homeschooling laws is still fairly simple, but that's not the case everywhere. It is something, though, that we must constantly watch because the educrats and NEA won't rest as long as homeschoolers are free to ignore their dictates.

Would I like to no longer fund the disgrace that is our educational system? Absolutely. I do not, however, wish to do it by claiming that I, as a homeschooler, am entitled to funds for our homeschool.

I wonder what would happen if you structured high schools similiar to what colleges should be like.Intellectual rigor,heavy reading requirements,no nonsense discipline policy,voluntary attendance which encourages personal responsibility,and seminar type classes.
Physical fitness would be mandated but no more of the silly frills like cheerleading.Any clubs would have to be organized after school on the student's own time.
