The adoption clip at least explains reasons kids may be adopted, the gay and lesbian clip has no explanation period... they just put as many gay couples with families in as they could. Nothing about reasons or positive aspects... wonder why? s/

Let's Get Real:
About bullying... ummm, they managed to put in sexual orientation.
It's Elementary:
The documentary for educators that shows how acknowledging gay and lesbian people in schools prevents prejudice and violence (their words)
I especially like the Q and A on this one:
What about parents who don’t want their children to learn about gay sex?
It’s not appropriate for schools to teach young children about sex. But learning about gay men and lesbians isn’t the same thing as learning about gay sex. In school, children learn about mommies and daddies, families and marriage without talking about sex. In the same way, children can learn that there are gay and lesbian people, and can be taught about the literature they have written, the families they have formed, and the gay and lesbian civil rights issues that are part of the current political debate.
Mmm kay.
Nice viewing guide too:

Nope, nothing to see here... move along.
Oh... btw, they also have this (just can't get the link):

In the fairness of bi-pa, they also have Home and Hands... on housing for low income residents (real estate).
I'm going to be sick.
Here's a very interesting fact about the above video:
A 22-year-old man stands before a classroom of middle schoolers, describing how he came out as a homosexual and going so far as to declare, "there are gay students in this classroom."The above video is I Do Exist and is the story of 5 ex-gays. Yes, change is possible: People Can Change.The young man is Noé Gutierrez, Jr., and the scene is one from It's Elementary, an award-winning 1996 video (widely aired in 1999) which aims to give "practical lessons on how to talk with kids about gay people."
You won't find that scene in Gutierrez's latest video, however. Although he requested permission to use it, producer/director Debra Chasnoff turned him down. Apparently, she doesn't want school children knowing what's happened since then.
You see, Gutierrez is no longer gay.
