USDA gay-sensitivity training seeks larger audience
The Washington Time ^ | Friday, June 17, 2011 | Rowan Scarborough

U.S. Department of Agriculture activists want to impose their intense brand of homosexual sensitivity training government-wide, including a discussion that compares “heterosexism” — believing marriage can only can be between one man and one woman — to racism.

If accepted by the Obama administration, that move could mean more sessions for military service members already undergoing gay-sensitivity indoctrination. Critics fear additional gay-oriented training would be an unnecessary added burden for combat troops and encourage some to leave.

USDA officials have asked the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), which oversees all federal worker policies, to impose its gay-awareness programs on all federal departments, according to an internal newsletter.

The push for the training is coming from Agriculture Secretary Thomas J. Vilsack, former Democratic governor of Iowa. He has launched a department-wide “Cultural Transformation” that includes the “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender [LGBT] Special Emphasis Program.”

The USDA’s senior training coordinator, Bill Scaggs, has developed a sensitivity program far more extensive than the Pentagon’s training for the anticipated lifting of the ban on open homosexuals in the ranks. His training program, which OPM calls “groundbreaking [and a] model for other agencies,” delves more into gay issues and terminology. It also justifies pro-homosexual political positions.

Elaine Donnelly, who heads the Center for Military Readiness and opposes the repeal of the military’s gay ban, said it would be a mistake for the Obama administration to impose the USDA sensitivity-training program on the Pentagon.

“There are disturbing implications for national defense in the USDA’s development of a ‘groundbreaking’ training program that is to become a model for other federal agencies,” she told The Washington Times.She predicted that, once the ban is lifted, “training programs similar to the USDA’s LGBT Special Emphasis Program will become a growth industry within the Department of Defense.”

Even Islam has a few good points.

Why can’t gays be sensitive also?

it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security

a discussion that compares “heterosexism” — believing marriage can only can be between one man and one woman — to racism.

This is one of the left's deadliest weapons: using their dominance of the media to change the language. By creating and using a term, they create the illusion of consensus. From what FReepers who watch network tv post here, most sitcoms and dramas have at least one gay character. Again, illusion.

U.S. Department of Agriculture? This has to be a joke. Bulls don’t make calves by mounting other bulls and the Dept. of Agriculture knows that. Ranchers would be out of business in one season if that were the case. Mother Nature provides for male/female reproduction and we all should know it’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.

It seems to me that the best place for these USDA activists is to send them to rural farms and ranches to indoctrinate farmers and ranchers about how they should stop being "heterophiles" and start embracing each other in a gay sort of way.

By themselves. And not being overly judicious about what indoctrinator went where.

What the heck is a government agency doing imposing moral issues on other government departments. Since when is the USDA the boss of the US military?

Seems like the ultimate goal is to drive all sane people out of government — including the military — while diminishing the private sector as much as possible, so we’re ultimately a society in which only freaks thrive.

Old military tactic: Use deception to make your enemy believe you’re more more numerous and powerful than you really are.

So Soviet-style re-education camps have now reached the USA. George Orwell would be impressed.

They don’t have the “birds and bees” figured out, but they can run the the Ag dept. They need to spend more time outside.
Why are we letting these brainless nitwits run things?

These people will never give up. They will push constantly work like a ratchet. Move things constantly one way, and never go back the other way.

They have time to do this stuff. Most of the workers and producers in the world do not have the time.

We think, if we just give them this one issue; they will be happy. They won’t ever be.

What happens if an employee says, “I’m already sensitive to gay issues and don’t want to participate.”
