Hi good friends
I have never sent an e-mail like this, but I just had to. Those of you who have children or grandchildren MUST hear this. All of you have a sphere of influence that goes wide so PLEASE do something about this e-mail and expose this attack to as many people as you can.
Just a few minutes ago while sitting at my kitchen table working on a new youth outreach project, my ears catch the tail end of a commercial on Nickelodeon. While my children are dialed into an episode of Rug Rats All Grown Up, I hear the words gay or straight, love is love. I quickly snap my neck up from my computer to see Actress Susan Sarandon sitting there saying something about gay love and then a web address pops up under the ad GLAAD.org
Im like what the heck??? GAY, LOVE, RUGRATS ...I HAD TO DO A DOUBLE TAKE
So I quickly go to the website to see what is going on. THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS OH MY GOSH IM MAD!!!! NOT GLAAD
ITS MID AFTERNOON, RIGHT AFTER SCHOOL GETS OUT...HOW MANY CHILDREN ARE GETTING THIS MESSAGE??
If you ever had a doubt as to why are youth culture are confused and are experimenting with homosexual relationships at probably an epidemic rate; or had a doubt why they look at us funny when we say that homosexuality is not Gods will, put that doubt to rest and welcome to GLAAD.org: the home of the Gay Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. This highly sophisticated, methodical, patient army is large and is mounting a war like weve never seen before ...right under our noses.
I BELIEVE THE WAR FOR THE MINDS AND SOULS OF OUR NEXT GENERATION IS INFINITELY IMPORTANT. Certainly important enough for you to take a moment and EDUCATE YOURSELF .
Go to the website PLEASE watch the ADS being played in front of your kids, SPEND QUALITY TIME ON THIS SITE find out what they want to teach your children. Check out the EYE ON THE MEDIA SECTION ON THE LEFT SIDE, they glaadly let you know all the TV shows that support their war.
Check out their proud banner ad that now 504 newspapers print same sex union announcements.
Go to Idoin30seconds.org and look at the HOMEWRECKER OF THE WEEK CHUCK COLSON while they recruit our kids by the thousands to make a pledge to take a stand for supporting gay, lesbian, and cross gender marriages.

You add my post everywhere, yet you do not add my ministry to the "Homosexual Help" section. Hmmm... must be an oversight ;-)
Articles posted on Free Republic cannot be edited, therefore we cannot add your site to the the "Homosexual Help" section. That is why we post links and excerpts as replies to the article.
Scripter is working on a new format for the next version of his 'Index of Links' and I am sure he will add the link to your site in the new database. Please contact scripter via FReepmail with the particulars.
Yeah, it's too bad we can't edit posts. Now that would be nice and would make updating the categorical index a breeze. Just let me know what links you're referring to and I'll take a look. Thanks for the heads up, ER.
GLSEN is a homosexual activist organization. It's mission is to fill the eyes and ears of the precious children in our public schools with homosexual propaganda. I encourage anyone who wants to know more about GLSEN and its founder, Kevin Jennings, to read through the information and articles linked below.
GLSEN needs to be booted out of the public schools.

An excerpt from "Targeting Children - Part two: How the homosexual movement uses public schools as instruments of change"
( http://www.afa.net/homosexual_agenda/childrenb.asp )
"GLSEN activist and New York kindergarten teacher Jaki Williams said starting in kindergarten is a must, since children at that age are still developing their ideas about the world around them. Even at that age, she said, the saturation process needs to begin.
Williams, in fact, is a model teacher when it comes to this saturation process. She regularly initiates conversations with her children by reading to them such controversial books as Heather Has Two Mommies, Daddys Roommate, and One Dad, Two Dads, Browns Dads, Blue Dads. She also hosts a viewing of the video Both of My Moms Names Are Judy: Children of Lesbians and Gays Speak Out, produced by a San Francisco pro-homosexual advocacy group.
According to one writer for The Lambda Report, who infiltrated a 1997 GLSEN workshop, one former teacher admitted that changing the mind of a child required more than a one-time effort. She said she had to expose her children to a constant stream of homosexual words and images, because "Its really a conditioning process."
An excerpt from "Example Offered of Real Homosexual Agenda in America's Schools"
( http://www.FreeRepublic.com/focus/news/675813/posts )
"The school board says its about harassment, its about tolerance. Well, what does GLSEN say?" she asks. "The executive director, Kevin Jennings, says that it is about promoting homosexuality. Thats what he said is his mission. Let me read you his quote. He said, Promoting homosexuality -- we can make it happen. That is our mission from this day forward. "
Folger describes the prospects as "frightening." "We had people that went into the GLSEN meetings. And make no mistake, this is not about tolerance in meeting with teachers -- it's about getting to the children," she says. "In fact, it was in that GLSEN meeting, locally held, that they said, 'We need this agreement to get to the children.' "

GLSEN'S JENNINGS: !&%#! THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT!
Addressing a church audience on March 20, 2000 in New York City just days before "Fistgate" GLSEN Executive Director Kevin Jennings offered a stinging (and quite intolerant) assessment of how to deal with religious conservatives:
Twenty percent of people are hard-core fair-minded [pro-homosexual] people. Twenty percent are hard-core [anti-homosexual] bigots. We need to ignore the hard-core bigots, get more of the hard-core fair-minded people to speak up, and we'll pull that 60 percent [of people in the middle] over to our side. That's really what I think our strategy has to be. We have to quit being afraid of the religious right. We also have to quit I'm trying to find a way to say this. I'm trying not to say, '[F---] 'em!' which is what I want to say, because I don't care what they think! [audience laughter] Drop dead!9
It should be noted that GLSEN and Jennings make heavy use of the words "respect" and "tolerance" in their public rhetoric and in descriptions of their programs.10
JENNINGS: OK TO PROMOTE HOMOSEXUALITY IN SCHOOLS
Although Jennings has employed manipulative methods that exaggerate homosexual victimhood to advance his pro-"gay" agenda in schools, he has occasionally been frank about GLSEN's real agenda:
I'd like five years from now for most Americans when they hear the word GLSEN to think, "Ooh, that's good for kids." Sane people keep the world the same [sh---y] old way it is now. It's the [crazy] people who think, "No, I can envision a day when straight people say, 'So what if you're promoting homosexuality?' or [when] straight kids say, 'Hey, why don't you and your boyfriend come over before you go to the prom and try your tuxes on at my house?'" [I]f we believe that can happen, we can make it happen. The only thing that will stop us is our lack of faith that we can make it happen. That is our mission from this day forward.11
BRAINWASHING KINDERGARTNERS
At the same 1997 regional GLSEN conference where Kevin Jennings revealed his goal to openly promote homosexuality in schools, New York teacher and GLSEN activist Jaki Williams led a workshop titled "Inclusive Kindergartens." What follows is Williams' chilling advice to other teachers and fellow GLSEN activists on how to push pro-homosexual themes on very young, impressionable children:
Children in the kindergarten age are "developing their superego," Williams said, and "that's when the saturation process needs to begin." She explained that "five-year-olds really are very interested in the big questions. They're very interested in sex, death, and love, and they ask those questions, and they talk about them. And we want to help them find the answers on their level." To initiate conversation, Williams said she has her class read from an assortment of pro-homosexual children's books, such as "Heather Has Two Mommies" and "One Dad, Two Dads, Brown Dad, Blue Dads."15

Education chief rips PBS for gay character
"WASHINGTON - The nations new education secretary denounced PBS on Tuesday for spending public money on a cartoon with lesbian characters, saying many parents would not want children exposed to such lifestyles.
The not-yet-aired episode of Postcards From Buster shows the title character, an animated bunny named Buster, on a trip to Vermont a state known for recognizing same-sex civil unions. The episode features two lesbian couples, although the focus is on farm life and maple sugaring.
A PBS spokesman said late Tuesday that the nonprofit network has decided not to distribute the episode, called Sugartime!, to its 349 stations. She said the Education Departments objections were not a factor in that decision.
Ultimately, our decision was based on the fact that we recognize this is a sensitive issue, and we wanted to make sure that parents had an opportunity to introduce this subject to their children in their own time, said Lea Sloan, vice president of media relations at PBS..."

Dr. Sander Breiner, a member of NARTH's Scientific Advisory Committee, recently expanded upon a paper on "Adolescent Homosexuality" he presented at the November, 2004 NARTH conference in Washington, DC. (Dr. Breiner's paper is currently posted on the NARTH web site.)
Sexually questioning youth are vulnerable to the derailment of their normal heterosexuality, Dr. Breiner asserted, when they are urged to consider the possibility of being same-sex attracted.
Dr. Breiner's paper dealt with the current scientific knowledge on the development of the brain during pre-teen and teen years as it relates to hormones and emotional maturity. One of the sources for this paper was a book edited by Dr. Ronald Dahl for the New York Academy of Sciences on Adolescent Neuroscience. Dr. Dahl is at the University of Pittsburgh and has written extensively on adolescent brain development.
Breiner noted that neuroscientists are convinced that the developing brain during the teen years is significantly influenced by external emotional and social factors. Stress factors, nutrition, and exercise can have an effect on the reproductive function that can lead to a suppression of ovarian and testicular functions. According to Breiner, "If the stress is chronic there can be a significant suppression of this reproductive axis."
Gay-Affirming Teachings Can Impact Brain Development
In an interview with NARTH's Editorial Director, Dr. Breiner notes that teens typically face stresses and confusion about their sexuality. Teaching gay-affirming ideas to teens can add to the problems they already face. The child who is taught that he or she may be homosexual can be stressful and may react in the following negative ways: hurt self esteem; poor body image; likelihood of depression; anxiety about how they will function socially; and a delayed response in functioning as a heterosexual, which makes their social skills even more limited. Gay-affirming materials "won't make someone homosexual, but certainly will contribute to problems in their development," said Breiner. "Adolescents have enough problems in establishing gender roles and this will increase these problems."
According to Breiner, this isn't simply a social or psychological threat to children but is a neurological problem as well. Actual brain changes take place. He notes that there is a strong connection between hormonal development and neurotransmitters that send messages for hormonal development. "If the wrong message gets sent, as is likely to occur when external messages are coming from teachers, then the child may experience a delay in proper sexual development."
Dr. Breiner observes that neuroscience studies are clear on this subject yet nothing has appeared yet in the psychiatric or psychological literature to deal with the connection between external gay-affirming messages and brain development.
"I am convinced that gay affirming materials are injurious to children and will add to the psychological problems they already have as a normal part of development," said Breiner. "It is wrong to say that homosexuality is a viable alternative to heterosexuality. If teens are to be protected, they must be given the facts about homosexual behavior, not fantasies from the gay community."
In discussing the development of homosexuality in general, Dr. Breiner observed: "Human homosexuality is a symptom of some unresolved conflicts in a child's development psychologically. It is determined before the age of five, and usually between 1 1/2 to 3 years of age. If the individual has a neurosis, it was organized between ages 3 to 6. If they are of a borderline psychological organization, it was between ages 2 to 3. If they are psychotic, the psychological organization is under 2."
In the conclusion to his paper on "Adolescent Homosexuality," Dr. Breiner observes:
The brain that is developing (pre-puberty to adulthood), particularly in the area that deals with emotional and sexual development, is affected organically by social and physical stress. Homosexual indoctrination (direct or subtle), coercive or seductive can organically affect brain and sexual physiologic development to a modest or minimal degree. It cannot permanently produce homosexuality. However, it can certainly lead to a variety of difficulties commonly including hurt self-esteem, distortions in living, depression, selection of life goals, and other problems. Though the individual may eventually select a heterosexual life position, the preceding years of difficulties in developing and organizing one's life are likely to have more permanent deleterious effects. Therefore, any attitude by society and particularly educators that homosexuality is a reasonable or alternative lifestyle can significantly contribute to psychopathology in this vulnerable age.
yes, you have been busy, lol.
"Education Secretary Margaret Spellings has asked the Public Broadcasting Service to refund taxpayer dollars used to create and distribute an episode of a cartoon program that features lesbian parents, saying the subject matter was inappropriate and undermines the show's effort to promote literacy.

It was produced with Education Department grant money from a literacy initiative...

An excerpt from "GLAADs Garry earns top salary among gay leaders - Compensation for heads of 18 national gay groups lower than association median"
"Joan Garry, executive director of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, had the highest salary among the heads of Americas 18 national gay civil rights organizations with a paid staff in 2002, the latest year for which non-profit groups were required by law to disclose salary information to the IRS and the public.
A survey of salaries of the heads of the 18 groups, conducted by the Washington Blade, shows that that Garry received a 2002 salary of $198,730 and additional benefits of $9,930, for a total compensation package of $208,666...
The 18 national gay groups are among the thousands of non-profit organizations in the United States that must file annual reports with the IRS disclosing financial information, including the salaries of their chief operating officers. The IRS, which grants these organizations an exemption from paying taxes on all of their income, requires the groups to submit the salary and other financial data on an IRS 990 Form, which must also be released to the public upon request...

Here are the salaries for 2002 that they have listed for the top officials of the top five homosexual activist organizations ( and since they have great influence in the public schools, the data for PFLAG is also included ):

Parents, Families & Friends of Lesbians & Gays (PFLAG) | $2.6 million | $78,317 |
All of these and other homosexual activist organizations are supported by various corporate sponsors:
An excerpt from "Hurricane GLSEN" by Marc Fey, TownHall.com, September 28, 2003
"Its not just that they are generously funded, though they certainly are. Revenues for 2001 were $3.35 million, and this years conference was liberally supported by Kodak, Levi Strauss, Microsoft, and IBM whose logos were emblazoned on banners, brochures, and conference freebies. For the close to 500 people in attendance, including about 100 junior high and senior high students, the companies hoped to capture this powerful purchasing sectorgays and youtharguably two of the most powerful buying sectors in America today."
Who funds Homosexual and Lesbian Groups
Here's an example of how some of HRC's money is used to indoctrinate kids:

An excerpt from "Message of Voters in Missouri Against Gay Marriage Leaves Backers Discouraged: HUGE PRIMARY TURNOUT"
The spending had been lopsided here, with supporters of gay marriage spending $450,000 to fight the measure with television advertising and polling, compared with $19,000 spent by opponents.
"Still, we were just a little bit out-organized," said Seth Kilbourn, national field director for the Human Rights Campaign, a Washington group that helped pay for the Missouri opposition. "We can't let that happen again."
An excerpt from the article "Changing minds"
Opposition to the message of the Ex-Gay Educators Caucus is led by Kevin Jennings, a former private school teacher in Massachusetts and founder of the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network. Mr. Jennings is a partner with the NEA in promoting acceptance of homosexuality through curriculum materials in the nation's schools as early as kindergarten and elementary grades. He was given the NEA's human rights "creative leadership" award at this year's convention.
"Ex-gay messages have no place in our nation's public schools," Mr. Jennings said in a publication of the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network. "A line has been drawn. There is no 'other side' when you're talking about lesbian, gay and bisexual students."
Now consider this excerpt from "CFI Panel Exposes GLSENs Cross-Dressing Agenda - Medical Doctor Says Young Male AIDS Cases Linked to Abuse
"... FROM ABUSE VICTIM TO GAY STUDENT
LaBarbera also relayed an account by GLSEN Executive Director Kevin Jennings in which he counseled one of his former students, a sophomore boy named Brewster who had been victimized by a homosexual pedophile. According to his account in his book One Teacher in Ten: Gay and Lesbian Educators Tell Their Stories, Jennings, then an openly homosexual teacher at the private Concord Academy in Massachusetts, met with the troubled Brewster, who nervously revealed a story about his involvement with an older man he had met in Boston. Jennings wrote that after the talk, Brewster left my office with a smile on his face that I would see every time I saw him on campus.
Jennings said proudly that he had helped the boy realize that its OK to be gay. Several years later, he saw Brewster at a homosexual restaurant in Boston. He was now twenty-two, taking time off from college, and living with his boyfriend, Jennings wrote.
LaBarbera said the story illustrates the problem of open homosexual activists working in schools and using their authority and trust as role models to promote false, unhealthy sexual identities to impressionable students. He said that in reality, young Brewster was not gay, as Jennings had claimed, but the confused victim of a homosexual predator..."
