A TIME magazine cover story and a recent pro-homosexual school event should leave no doubt that homosexual activists are recruiting kids into homosexual sex and a “gay” identity, using “tolerance” as a ruse.
The TIME October 10 piece, “The Battle Over Gay Teens,” which includes not a single reference to the extremely dangerous medical consequences of homosexual behavior, especially for boys, includes these details:
• A cocktail party in Manhattan with billionaire liquor magnate Edgar Bronfman, Sr. and Clinton political strategist David Mixner was held in May to raise money for the Point Foundation, a scholarship program to turn “gay” kids into homosexual activists...

You can't.
But you can pressure straight kids to TRY all kinds of terrible behavior, especially if they are taking any drugs or are drinking.
That does leave the straight teens VERY upset, unhappy, ashamed and confused.
I think THAT'S the goal.
I agree. I don't really care what people do behind closed doors either. Shouldn't be any of the government's bussiness. Don't want my taxes going to pay for these programs though. They aren't neccesary and the government shouldn't be in the bussiness of teaching any values (right or left) to students. That should be up to parents.

From what we hear, the U.S. prison system does a fine job of it.
Trust the kids on this one. They recognize when something's gay.
• The average age of kids “coming out” as homosexual has “dropped to 10 for gays and 12 for lesbians,” according to the chair of Cornell University’s human-development program.
• “Gay kids can now watch fictional and real teens who are out on shows like Desperate Housewives, the dating show Next on MTV and Degrassi (a high school drama on the N network whose wild popularity among adolescents is assured by the fact that few adults watch). Publishers like Arthur A. Levine Books (of Harry Potter fame) and the children’s division of Simon & Schuster have released something like a dozen novels about gay adolescents in the past two years….Gay kids can now subscribe to the 10-month-old glossy YGA Magazine (YGA stands for ‘young, gay America’) and meet thousands of other little gays via young gay america. com (sic) or outproud.org.”
• “‘We’re gonna win,’ says [GLSEN founder Kevin] Jennings, speaking expansively of the gay movement, ‘because of what’s happening in high schools right now.’ … Jennings recalls that when he first started raising money more than a decade ago, ‘the attitude was either “Isn’t it cute that you’re working with kids?” or “Why are you working with kids? What are you, f------ crazy?”’”
Editor’s note: In other settings Jennings has used the “f-word” to dismiss faith-based opponents, and has said he envisions a day when the schools openly embrace homosexuality. At a GLSEN conference, a teacher said she thought it was important to acquaint pupils with homosexuality beginning in kindergarten because “that’s when the saturation process begins.”
• At a youth retreat, the Point Foundation gave out gift bags to students containing, among other things, “a DVD of the film Hedwig and the Angry Inch, in which a teenage boy is masturbated by an adult” and “the Aug. 16 issue of the gay magazine The Advocate, whose cover featured a shirtless man and blared, SUMMER SEX ISSUE.”
• “Because he routinely sees young gays on MTV or even at school, a 14-year-old may now feel comfortable telling friends that he likes other boys, but that doesn’t mean he is ready to enfold himself in a gay identity.”
The article, to its credit, includes passages about the growing ex-“gay” movement, particularly for youths, and quotes Exodus International Youth Director Scott Davis about his group’s ministry, and Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays (PFOX) Executive Director Regina Griggs about the discrimination faced by groups that help people overcome homosexual desires.
But the overall impact of the article helps validate the idea of “gay kids,” and will undoubtedly induce some to act out their sexual curiosity since so many others appear to be doing so. The constant focus on homosexuality becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, much as TIME’s frequent articles during the 1960s and 1970s about the “growing phenomenon” of illicit drug use helped spur some kids to try marijuana and LSD.
A Week-Long Effort in the Schools
GLSEN, meanwhile, has been extremely active in the schools. Their most recent effort, “National Ally Week,” was held September 19-24.
According to GLSEN’s Web site, more than 300 gay/straight alliance groups registered to pass out buttons, organize gender education activities, and promote the homosexual lifestyle. Ally Week encourages the recruitment of “straight” students as allies in the fight against bullying of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered) students. The “straight” allies are encouraged to speak out in defense of homosexuality.
GLSEN passed out “I am an ALLY” buttons through the GSAs, and the Web site encouraged students to arrange more specific activities to promote acceptance of “gay” students. The listed events included:
• “Organizing LGBT pizza parties, and after-school activities like LGBT Jeopardy or LGBT bingo.
• Informative tabling in school cafeterias.
• Student and/or teacher training workshops.
• Asking allies to attend regular GSA meetings.
• Constructing pro-LGBT bulletin boards.
• Bringing a local LGBT speaker to the school.”
Last April, GLSEN sponsored the annual “Day of Silence,” in which kids are supposed to remain silent all day in support of their “gay” classmates. April 26, 2006, is the next “Day of Silence.”
This past January, GLSEN headed the coalition sponsoring “No-Name Calling Week,” another platform for discouraging resistance to the promotion of homosexuality to school kids, with the next edition slated in January 2006. In effect, schoolchildren across the nation are being subjected to homosexual propaganda in schools via an event every few months.
GLSEN encourages teachers to organize and participate in GSA events. The group provides a web link that supplies educators with pro-LGBT resources. These include “gender liberation” coloring books; “gay” cartoon posters; and several posters challenging traditional views of gender. Teachers can download signs with inverted, rainbow-colored triangles proclaiming “Safe Zone” to put on their classroom door. They can also print off discussion kits on how to organize gender education sessions and start conversations about homosexuality with the children.
One poster, titled, “Things you can do to eradicate gender or multiply it exponentially,” features cross-dressing, and has these suggestions:
• “Think twice before you ask people if their child is a boy or a girl.
• Spend a day in drag.
• Refer to everyone by the incorrect pronoun.
• Challenge binary gender paradigms over Thanksgiving dinner.
• Hang out with children and teach them how to cross dress Barbie and G.I. Joe.
• Refuse to check off your sex when filling out forms.”
Clearly, the homosexual movement's effort to recruit children has never been stronger than it is now.
It is about winning them over politically to be pro-homosexual as much as it is about making them sexually experimental.
The homoeexual agenda is a battering ram to society's laws and morals for the sex positive agenda. Sex positive teaching wants everyone sexually active at every age (no such thing as "age appropriate activity"). They believe that abstinence is unhealthy because it is a denial of sexual desires (ir it feels good, do it!).
The kids will probably get over it - and no, I'm definitely not endorsing what these groups are advocating (assuming the article is accurate).
Yeah, you'd think it would be impossible to recruit straight kids to be gay, until a co-worker of mine, straight out of college, told me how he "tried" being gay once, and kissed another dude. Then he told his mom about it and they laughed about it! I am not making this up!
This kid is a smart one, albeit a little weird (aside from the trial gay run). But I seriously doubt this could have happened, say 20 years ago.
By force or seduction. In the latter, by destroying, in very devious ways, the kid's innate ability to distinguish right from wrong, calling everything right. That way, no sin, no guilt, no punishment, no God. If you still need a god to sanction it to alleviate any residual guilt, there's always 'allah' -- or a new-found peer group.
Who knows? Maybe even the government will step in and sanction it at some point.
(Whoops! Already happened.)
That's rape. That's not consensual.
BUMP
The Point Foundation provides financial support, mentoring and hope to meritorious students who are marginalized due to sexual orientation or gender identity.

DO consider the source of what we hear.
I THINK that prison systems all over the planet, since the beginning of time, tend to force SOME life-termer men into having sex with each other.
That doesn't make them homosexual.
It just makes them desperate, lonely and horny.
My two cents. It is just an opinion.
FYI
Working with runaway kids I can tell you horror stories.
Young boys and girls can be lurd into homo behavior in spite of their orientation.
Many young boys who are exploited by "chicken hawks" ( older homo men) often have confused feelings about their own sexuality and often act out these feelings in very destructive ways.
We forget that these are children Their development and maturing process is not complete. That's why these merchants of evil try to reach young kids. They are vulnerable.
I doubt that they will win anything. These are kook organizations. Most gay folks probably prefer to keep to themselves.
This mirrors some of those Communist edicts that you posted for me yesterday, right?
You are probably right.
It just seems to be such UNNECESSARY pain, anguish and guilt. They get enough of that with the normal pecadillos of life without this added crap.
Don't you think?
Also, the advocacy groups are trying to normalize homosexuality. THAT is just plain wrong, imho.
Using teenagers for trying to normalize homosexuality by getting them on board, so to speak, even temporarily, is ALSO just plain wrong, imho.
This is important because maybe, maybe, 20% of the planet is queer. /sarcasm off
PING
Hey, my total knowledge of this is from watching a TV show on how horrible prisons are (lots of disease)...what do I know. I do think however if I had a choice between prison and old sparky, I would choose the chair.
My kids have personally known several - so it does happen.
I think it's goal is to recruit "gay" teens INTO activism.
Not to recruit straight teens.
We need a school voucher system, folks. We need the means to pull our children out of a self-destructive school and place them in a school that has returned to providing a real education without the penalty of paying both taxes and tuitions. The school system should offer us choices instead of all chanting the same politically-correct activist mantra. I believe GWB supports voucher systems; this should be a "huge" item on the conservative ticket -- and only a couple years left to get it done.
We can't fight against the judges who keep ruling in favor of special homosexual rights. And it appears we can't even stop it in some of the schools.
I think you're right.
1. Agreed on the reforms of easy prisons.
2. Disagree.
I once saw a documentary about EXILE as a way to punish serious offenders. It was very interesting.
It had to do with a German man who stabbed and killed his girlfriend. There were in India somewhere, where drugs were accepted for tourists. They were both high and got into a fight. They were both addicts.
The young German man was sentenced to 25 years -life in an Indian prison. Indian prisons aren't, er, nice.
After 15 years as a model prisoner he was given an opportunity to be "exiled," that is, finish out his life on a remote island, with a group of 400 Indian islanders.
He accepted. It was an extremely quiet, simple life. He learned to make door frames and that was his job.
He married and a local woman and they had six children.
After another ten years, his life sentence was commuted and he was allowed to leave.
He chose to stay with his Indian wife and family, saying that if he returned to Germany he would probably go right back on drugs.
His eldest son has HIS green eyes and blond hair and spoke English, with a German accent. Weird.
This made me think that there MIGHT be alternatives to life-long incarceration in a cage, execution and "nice" prisons.
Not really arguing with you, so_real, just a thought.
I'm certainly open to suggestions :-) I don't like the thought of killing anyone either. But, I do have the stomach for it where I believe it's the best solution. If exile does the trick (protects citizens without a perpetual financial burden), I'll support it!

""Color me skeptical. I don't see how you can recruit a straight kid to be gay.""
"From what we hear, the U.S. prison system does a fine job of it."
There is evidence the prison sex is not related to sexual desire, but it is a weapon used by some inmates for domination of the other inmates.
It is of the same nature as rape, which is not a crime of sexyal passion. Rape is considered a crime of violence, done to hurt and humiliate the victim.
"A Week-Long Effort in the Schools"
This sure ain't losing.
Hit up a young child, especially a vulnerable young child in need of touch, with wooing moving to sexual encounter, and when done, inform that child that it could never, ever have happened if that child were not a homosexual and discover how a life path can be altered and corrupted and trashed.
Serial killers can be made, so can sexual deviancy be formed.
Well, since homosexual behavior is so very risky, with expensive costs for medical care, you ARE paying the costs through higher taxes and higher insurance premiums.
Still don't care what they do behind closed doors?
"Color me skeptical. I don't see how you can recruit a straight kid to be gay."
You are most probably correct. There is an increasing amount of evidence that both sexual orientation and gender identity are the result of congenital factors relating to the hormonal environment in the womb. Specifically, the presence of testosterone (or an analog) during a critical part of brain development is responsible for masculinizing the brain. There are two parts to that process, masculinizing the arousal pattern and masculinizing behavior.
Likewise, the absence of androgens in the womb will result in a failure to masculinize the brain.
A very real example of where the process goes contrary to genetic sex: Consider the case of girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. In addition to hypertrophy of the clitoris, they also have masculine behavior as children, being considered tomboys. Furthermore, the incidence rate for lesbianism is much higher than usual (40-50% versus about 5% for non-affected girls).
We need a school voucher system, folks.
I was just in Uganda there and the govt was encouraging private schools. Lots of entrepreneurship and competition there for education and I think it will work.
I think you are either naive or being facetious. There are many ways it can be done. Especially if you begin the attack when they are very young. Tolerance has been perverted to mean acceptance. That is the goal of the homos today. They want acceptance.
When 7 and 8 year olds are taught about the gay lifestyle what do you think is the impetus behind that teaching? Is it really tolerance or acceptance. Seven and eight year olds don't know the difference between tolerance and acceptance yet the homo agenda claims that is their goal.
Why are parent not being allowed to opt their children out these tolerance classes?
Really. You can't be serious.
Welcome to FR. On that quote above, I agree with you 100%.
However, I disagree with the idea that straight kids can't be turned gay. I believe it's a learned behavior.
Since I and DirtyHarryY2K currently run the Homosexual Agenda Ping list, you're more than welcome to ping us to any relevant articles you see!
You re correct - indoctrinate when young and confused.
Someone needs to explain to me first why any of this is acceptable for a discussion of school. School is school - gay rights is politics. NO OTHER POLITICAL OR RELIGIOUS GROUP IS ALLOWED THIS ACCESS TO CHILDREN. Why do we allow perverts (by definition) access to kids to spread their propaganda?
Why?
And I use the term perverts appropriately. It is a perversion of nature. I don't mind folks being perverted in the privacy of their own homes. But that does not mean they are not perverted.
