I don't think it is an innocuous term and it shouldn't be.

I think it refers to those areas where the homosexual community is demanding things outside their normal rights. They have the right not to be beaten up, for example. But if they are beaten up, they don't get to send their assailant to jail ten times longer than your average heterosexual victim.

They have the right to enjoy any sexual activity they want to in their home, but they don't have the right to educate six graders as to the joys of their particular sexual peccadillos.

They don't have the right not to be called names. They don't have the right not to be fired. They don't have the right to prance naked into St. Patrick's cathedral.

But there are those who insist on demanding these rights by pushing their "homosexual agenda."

Maybe you both would be interested in a piece I just found in the weekly "Washington Times," as follows:

Headline: "SCHOOLED IN PERVERSION"

"'For the past decade or so, largely working beneath public or parental notice, a well-organized movement has sought to revolutionize the curricula and culture of the nation's public schools. Its aim: to stamp out 'hegemonic heterosexuality' -- the traditional view that heterosexuality is the norm -- in favor of a new ethos that does not just tolerate homosexuality but instead actively endorses experimenting with it.[...] The educational establishment has enthusiastically signed on. What this portends for the future of the public schools and the psychic health of the nation's children is deeply worrisome[...]

"'A 2002 [Gay, Lesbian and Straight Educational Network] conference in Boston held a seminar on 'Gender in the Early Childhood Classroom' that examined ways of setting 'the tone for nontraditional gender role play' for preschoolers. To help get the message across to younger children, teachers can turn to an array of eductional products, many of them available from GLSEN. Early readers include 'One Dad, Two Dads, Brown Dad, Blue Dads'; 'King and King'; and 'Asha's Mums.'"

If the above isn't an agenda, what the hell is it?
