You picked one sentence to respond to instead of the major issue. Let's deal with the primary issue:

Do you believe a homosexual has the right to inflict their beliefs upon an innocent child when those beliefs are completely contrary to those by which the childs parents have raised the child by?

Come on...be specific...the world is waiting...

Why are you flagging others? Is this a gang-up?

Not really, it's just that the word has gone out and the activists are gathering to counter the threat that is perceived against our children. The bond between parent and child is something that no one should come between. It could become uncomfortable for the offender.

Of course they don't. The sentence remains true if you substitue the words "Christian", "socialist", "vegetarian", or "federalist". The fact that the subject is homosexuality is irrelevant. Pushing any ideological agenda at school is inappropriate.

No Yakboy, the major issue is whether or not homosexuality can be "taught". Every last gay person I know that has discussed it with me (there have been several - and no, I'm not gay myself) has told me that they knew they were "different" since as far back as they can remember. NONE of them recalled any specific moment when it "happened", let alone participating in some indoctrination ritual. What they do remember is being terrorized and ridiculed by classmates day after day. What many of them also had to deal with was the pain of telling their parents. Luckily, most of them had parents (conservative parents in some cases) who put their love for their children above any prejudices and misconceptions that they had, and now have great relations with them. However, at least one hasn't talked to his father in twenty years. THAT'S what ruins families, intolerance and ignorance.

I've never heard of this group, so I don't know what their true agenda is. I know that there are some militant gays out there, for sure. But I can't believe in my wildest dreams that any school board is going to approve a curriculum consisting of teaching "fisting", "sex with animals", "witchcraft", or any other such nonsense. These claims are nothing but lies and half-truths put out there to get simple-minded folk all in a hissy-fit. How about actually doing some research, and find out from an objective source what they're all about?

If all they're teaching is tolerance, then I'm all for it. Not that I think it will do a damned bit of good. The kind of hatred some of you exhibit is passed right down to your kids, and it's rarely unlearned.

No one is going to "convert" your children into homos. Your children know already if they like boys or girls. If one day, little Johnny comes home and tells you he's got a new boyfriend, will you be prepared, or will you banish him from the house forever? I can guarantee that it will happen to someone reading this, and there's not a d*mned thing you can do to stop it. It's real easy to condemn a stranger to Hell for being a sexual "deviant", but quite another when it's your own child. Kinda shakes your belief system.
