Tammy Bruce: Protect New York's Children from the Gay Elite

Protect New York's Children from the Gay Elite
By Tammy Bruce
FrontPageMagazine.com | July 31, 2003


In my book The Death of Right and Wrong I warn about the sexualization and targeting of children by the radical gay fringe. The announcement that a school in New York will open in September and be the first publicly run “gay high school” is a testament to that vile and loathsome agenda. 

Do not be cowed with arguments that if you’re against this you’re a “homophobe.” In fact, the unforgivable crime is if we remain silent allowing children to be sacrificed on the altar of political correctness, as we sit and watch gay malignant narcissists make a wild grab for children. Well, it won’t be done in my name, and I contend that every decent hetero- and homosexual person out there should be equally outraged by this hideous action.

Not all of this, however, is inexplicable. As I outline in detail in DRW, there is a sick movement among the homosexual academics and the radical gay fringe to change the age of sexual consent in this nation to 12-years-old. As sexually transmitted diseases for both hetero- and homosexuals increases and HIV/AIDS runs rampant, the goal by some to have access to children (untouched virgins, free of disease) has increased.

This agenda is facilitated by efforts like the "gay high school," which, in my opinion, furthers the sexualization of children.

Consider this: Accepting the “gay high school” demands you accept the notion that there are “gay and transgender kids,” which on its face is simply ridiculous. The argument is that children as young as 13 and 14-years-old somehow know, in their immature little kid minds, what their sexuality is, including if they’re a “transgendered youth,” which is a child who believes he or she should be the opposite sex. Frankly, if there is a 14 ­year-old boy who wants to have his penis removed to become a “girl,” that kid needs to be in a psychiatrist’s office, not a high school created just for him.

Think about it: we’re talking about children who are not psychologically mature enough to decide what to have for dinner, let along comprehend the intricacies of sexuality and all its physical and psychological repercussions. But the Gay Elite want us to believe that somehow these children know they prefer to have anal sex or need their breasts removed to find their “true” selves. Yeah, and I’m Anna Nicole Smith.

I cannot even begin to express my rage at a radical gay fringe and leftists who now are openly and willingly sacrificing children in a vain and self-obsessed drive to quench their own appetites for the young. That’s all this amounts to—adults indulging themselves, and others made too mute by political correctness to step up and say "No."

Apparently “gay children” need to be trained so they can be productive, stereotypical gays. The new principal of this atrocity has proudly announced that his school will “specialize in computer technology, art and culinary programs.” Isn’t that great? What else? Flower arrangement? Hair design? Dance?

In all this madness, after psychologically trapping and abandoning these kids, we then limit their options and train them to be stereotypical, victimized, angry caterers and dancers and florists. Hey, maybe this is a conspiracy to make sure Bravo’s “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” will never run out of Queer Specialists!

The insult of all this to gay people is absolutely astonishing.

Even supporters of the gay school concept admit that the so-called gay kids they’re dealing with suffer from sexual acting-out, suicidal tendencies, drug abuse, and homelessness. The fact is, all of these symptoms are indications of  sexual molestation, not homosexuality. So, instead of helping these kids deal with a serious trauma, they’ll be called “gay” and sent to a school to become a chef.

Welcome to the Left’s progressive world.

Really, do you honestly think if a child is actually sexually confused because his priest or Uncle Joe molested him, that anyone at the “gay school” is going to tell him that he just might need psychological help dealing with the trauma, and may be heterosexual and not gay at all?

Of course not. We’ll throw that kid on the garbage heap so gay malignant narcissists can feel more “normal” by making kids be just like them. While the gay establishment refuses to address the impact our histories have on our sexual identity, I refuse to let that cowardice take children as its next victims.

The other remarkably specious argument is that these children, because of their “sexuality,” are being beaten up and otherwise harassed in their regular high school to such a degree that they cannot function in a normal environment. How did that happen in progressive and liberal New York City?

Let me see if I understand this correctly: hate crimes against gay children (huh?) are at epidemic proportions in New York high schools? That’s strange, because beating someone up or harassing someone simply because they’re gay is, according to the liberal establishment, a hate crime. If there are criminal child homophobe gangs terrorizing the New York public school system, why haven’t we heard about this before? And more importantly, why are we isolating the victims? Why isn’t Bloomberg nailing the perpetrators? Where, in this supposed cesspool of hates crimes, is the outrage among the Gay Elite?

If there was ever a time to be willing to stand up and be called a name by leftists, we should do so now in the name of children. There comes a time when the price of silence is far too high. Organizers have said they want this school to be a “model for the nation.” If we do nothing, it will be.

We gay adults should do what we can to be happy individuals, as long as we’re decent about it and no one gets hurt. Hijacking the identity of a child is an unforgivable breach of that line. For all of us, enduring the wrath of some malignant narcissists is the least we owe children whose very lives rely on the courage of those of us who know better.

When I see some 250-pound diesel dyke with huge muscles and a square hairline, it's easy for me to believe that there's something seriously wrong with her brain and her hormones, and that explains her behavior. But when I see someone like Tammy Bruce, I have to wonder if the lesbian thing in her case is not just a matter of classical conditioning, since sex is the easiest thing in the world to classically condition. But who knows. Personally I will never understand how anybody could be a lesbian when there are men in the world.

I don't think that describes Tammy Bruce. Have you read her books?

Women who are lesbians feel comfortable with a woman out of choice or because they've been abused by a man in the past.

I'll do one better. I knew Tammy Bruce. I used to work for Operation Resuce and encountered her on more than one occassion. Her behavoir was absolutely apalling.

Granted, this was about 10 years ago, but she wore her sexuality on her sleeve.

She also treated pro-lifers very bad. I have yet to hear a public apology for this.

A lot of women, when confronted with a good sample of the "men in the world", start to wonder why they are not lesbians.

Their parents are either MIA or support the choice of school, since there's no way any kid is being enrolled in this school over parents' objections. Ignore it and move on!

Blows my mind that you can say this in the face of this being a "model school" that other communities are supposed to emulate. This is like a flagship for others to follow. You call yourself a "government shrinker" so how can you possibly justify squandering TAXPAYER money on this horror?

Trust me, these kids convinced themselves long ago of their "special gender identity".

Why, how are you an expert in the field of confused adolescents?

Oh, I get it. You're a "government shrink".

Most of the article I've read about Gay High fail to mention that its charter is to welcome gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth.

IOW, mixed up adolescents who can be convinced they "may" be gay will be lured into this homo recruitment trap.

Utterly disgusting. The perverts and psychos are running the asylum...and our society.

I think Tammy Bruce is just the kind of voice we NEED out there. She is saying you do NOT have a RIGHT to TEACH SEXUALITY IN SCHOOL.

The GAY community HATES her for it.

Once a person is an ADULT what they do in their OWN HOME is between them and God. As long as they are not KILLING babies or molesting children and it is CONSENTUAL it is between them and God.

So, she at least is advocating some dog gone common sense here.

Just MHO.

At least she isn't advocating teaching "My two Moms" in school!! Quite the opposite.

Ughhh.. look what feeling Mamby Pamby is getting us. Look at the Bravo networks programming for this season. It is nauseating!! And they are advertising it in PRIME time when my grandchildren are watching tv.

From what I've seen of her on TV, the Gay community probably hates her guts.

Catholic schools are privately funded. As soon as they are taxpayer funded then we can DEMAND that any scumbag molesting criminals are promptly turned over to the police.

I welcome Bruce's honesty here. Not all homosexuals are the raging paraders. She's been pretty frank about her thoughts which are generally diametricly opposed to the raging homosexual's agenda.

Once again, I don't approve of the homosexual lifestyle, but if a homosexual is going to honest and frank and not a 'conversion freak', or a 'public sicko', then I'm going to cut them some slack and give them kudos when they come out on the right side of an issue.

Her voice is very powerful on this issue to those who would damn you and I for being homophobes. She's in the club and still outs them for what they are doing to our children.

Consider that GLSEN has successfully mandated that ALL public (=gov't) schools must teach homosexuality as part of their Health Program. That wasn't enough, they have now successfully incorporated that teaching into the Health Program of Kindergarteners.

Children who are taught that homosexuality is equal to heterosexuality from such a young age, will view homosexuality as perfectly normal when they reach the tender years of pubescence. For them there is no difference between the two. This has raised the stakes for the Homosexual Agenda by "increasing" the number of 'homosexual' youth (I am thinking of the new public school in NYC for GLBT kids).

We, as a nation, have lost our moral compass! The GLBT have broken through the barriers and succeeded where religion has failed, by using 'the system' to their advantage.

Any historian, worth his salt, can easily point to every great civilization that has collapsed. The collapse begins with the rise of feminism, then homosexuality, and culminates with the eradication of religion from the country's charter. We are teetering on the brink.

At a cost of $30,000 / kid, how many parents will encourage their kid to 'pretend' to be, what is it they want to be called today, Queer?, so they can enroll in these elite schools? This whole idea is just ridiculous enough that in NYC, it'll probably happen. I'm so glad I'm old enough that I'll be dead before we see the results of the radical leftists destroying our children.

to accommodate a whopping 100 students in a city school system with an enrollment of over 1 million

So it's okay to sacrifice only 100 kids on the altar of political correctness, huh? This is only the beginning. The goal is to have "gay school" all across the country.

These are children. The school has no business encouraging these kids to be sexual.

People change. If she did something offensive in the past, well who hasn't at some point in their lives? What she's doing now is what matters, and so far, she's been the only public figure who I've seen speak so candidly about this.

I haven't heard or read one person, other than Ms. Bruce, come right out and say that the government has no business assigning these kids' a sexual identity.

No matter what she may have done in the past, she's right on this one.
