The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network favors reaching students as early as kindergarten with its pro-homosexuality message, but "some of the literature distributed at the organization's Chicago convention was definitely adult-oriented," said Peter LaBarbera, director of the watchdog group Americans for Truth Project stated. "For years GLSEN has claimed to protect 'at risk' kids; but they are now helping put young teenage boys at risk by allowing the distribution of a gay guide that hawks anonymous sex clubs and 'leather bars' in Chicago." LaBarbera said, " many of the young people at the GLSEN conferences receive financial scholarships to attend the events."
GLSEN recently opened a Washington D.C., office and will lobby members of Congress, as well as the U.S. departments of Education and Justice for inclusion of sexual orientation in the Elementary and Secondary School Act-the legislation Congress must renew every five years to continue federal funding and regulation of public education.
GLSEN President Kevin Jennings with a smile said, "We will someday conquer the globe."
This is why we homeschool. The public schools are just too currupt!

I didn't even know there was such a thing. What a sick bunch of people.
Mom, I Need To Be a Girl: This amazing 103-page book was written by the mom of a transsexual child who transitioned -- including surgery -- with mom's help while still in high school.
Because EBE theory proposes that an individual's sexual orientation is more directly the result of childhood experiences than of biological factors, it has prompted concerns that it could aid and abet an antigay agenda of prevention and "cure." In particular, the theory appears to suggest that parents could prevent their gender-nonconforming children from becoming gay or lesbian by encouraging sex-typical activities and discouraging sex-atypical activities.
Of course our society hardly needed EBE theory to suggest such a strategy. The belief that childhood gender nonconformity leads to later homosexuality is already so widely believed that many parents (especially fathers) already discourage their children (especially sons) from engaging in gender-nonconforming behaviors lest they become homosexual. And, if EBE theory is correct that both homosexuality and heterosexuality derive from the same childhood processes, then it is clear that a gender-polarizing society such as ours is already spectacularly effective in producing heterosexuality: 85-95% of all men and women in the United States are exclusively heterosexual.
The LA Reader says, "funny, touching, and fascinating." Third graders' jaws drop when they find out some of their favorite celebrities are gay; second graders react to a book about a girl who gets teased because she has two moms; third graders passionately debate the current events issue of the day: should gays be allowed to get married?
One universal principle opposites attract accounts for homosexuality as well as heterosexuality, according to a Cornell psychologist who proposes a sweeping new theory of how sexual orientation develops.
