Gay-Lesbian Youth Center Opens

A local gay and lesbian youth group opened a new center in Bay Shore Friday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, a line of local officials and an Episcopalian priest.

"We've picked today because it is National Coming Out day," said Robert Vitelli, Long Island Gay and Lesbian Youth's director of education, training and policy. "The ribbon cutting is to celebrate the first gay-owned and -operated community center [on Long Island]. This is historic."

Before its 4,300-square-foot center on Park Avenue, the group, which is embarking on its 10th anniversary, operated out of a smaller, second-floor office on Main Street in Bay Shore.

"This is a place we can call our own," said Melissa Medina, 18, a student at Suffolk Community College, who lives in Centereach.

This Gay Recruitment center has been funded in part by my state taxes.

How nice of this Episcopal "priest" to give his blessings to it.

Grrrr.

[katnip]

The center is open five days a week for people between ages 13 to 21 (sometimes older). There is free counseling and recreational services.

yeah, sure

[chachacha]

What planet am I on?

Wake up America

A splended Auto de Fe' or two would probably control public celebrations of sodomite behavior. However, that would take spiritual strength(I don't mean the old time religion), something Western man seems to lack in 2002 A.D.

I guess you can just call me "behind the times".

I had no idea that today was "National Coming out Day".

Is this a new Federal holiday I wasn't aware of?

[katnip]

Before the dedication ceremony, state Assemb. Thomas DiNapoli (D-North Hempstead), who secured a $50,000 state grant for the center, said, the center was worth waiting for.

Why is there always a (D) behind every piece of scum that supports this crap.

But we've been assured that being homosexual doesn't equate with being a pedophile, so any youth 'counseled' in this 'recreational center' would be completely safe, right?

[katnip]

This is sooo scary.

I'm sure the parents on Long Island will feel real
good about it.

It does have the blessing of this "priest" after all.

Aaaarrrgh...

I wonder what type of instruction and recreation will those 13-21 year old people get there. But on the second thought I do not want to know.

The Rev. Dennis Brunelle, 51, of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Bay Shore, led the crowd in a prayer. He said  the center was "for young people to come to a place of safety to learn who they are without oppression from anyone."

So this idiot "priest" so be a codefendent in any of the criminal sexual assault charges that will surface in the years to come.

Do the police keep the names of leaders of homosexual organizations on file any more? This guy's job title sounds suspiciously like 'head of recruitment'.

[katnip]

What scares me the most is I'm wondering when they will
open their "outreach" centers in the public schools here.

[katnip]

Here's their web-site....

Leave no one behind ya know...

"I wonder what type of instruction"

I heard this week that Miss America has been stopped from talking on abstinence and will be
de-throned if she does again.

Wanta bet that these Long Island kids learn about fisting and other such crap.  Wanta bet that the kids are encouraged to try various perversion to "find themselves?  This just burns me up!!

"outreach" centers in the public schools"

In our area of California most schools already have them.  The Gay-Lesbian-Bisexual---AND-TRANSGENDERED something or other regularly goes to schools and does education.

Like Hitler said, "I don't need your approval. I have your children."

I am afraid for our children.

I don't know how to stop this.

It was reported that the thought police backed off. But, on what flipping grounds can they even suggest that she stop talking about it? This is one F*cked up world. Sorry. Can't find words strong enough.

This is why the Americanpeople must start thinking of going en masse to the office holders, stripping them naked, then whipping them down the street. Visualize if you can their $5,000 suits their $500.00 underwear all crumpled up; the credit cards scattered about; the girl friends and boy friends(office holders are indifferent to matters of gender now days) wailing. God! The thought soothes the soul! Such thoughts will keep us tranquil until one of them really bungles. Bad bungling will occur sooner or later for it is the very nature of American office holders in 2002 A.D. to bungle. It is their very being. Their essence.
