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.

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

Excellent point. LOL. I know about the quality of many of the "men in the world," but I never could connect being disillusioned with men to going lesbian. To me, a hetero female, the choice has always been: A man or celibacy.

Now that is priceless - probably not sleeping with the kids. What, pray tell, gives you the clue to say, "probably not"???

Because there have been enough instances of straight teachers in NYC schools sleeping with their students, that we can't be sure this isn't happening at any given school, including the gay school. Though the gay school is subject to so much extra scrutiny, and in danger of beeing shut down if such activity came to light, that I think the teachers there are substantially less likely to sleep with students than at the regular schools.

The New York City schools spend a colossal amount of money per student throughout the system, and get very poor results. They're not spending any more on the students at the gay school than they would be if they were attending some other city school. I'm no fan of public schools in general, and even less of out-of-control big urban public school systems. But as long as they're squandering my money on poor educations for the kids (I am an NYC taxpayer, BTW), I'm not going to get worked up if one in 10,000 of the kids in this system are attending a special all-gay school.

As for it being a "model school that others are supposed to emulate", that's what the operators of virtually every oddball experimental school say. But this place has been around for 20 years, and as far as I know no other school system has emulated it yet (perhaps there's something like it in San Francisco, but I haven't heard of it). Personally, I think we'd do better to worry about the kind of alternative public schools that Johnny Taliban Walker attended, where kids are encouraged to pursue any line of insanity that strikes their fancy, with little supervision, and to the near total exclusion of any real academics. There are LOTS of those schools, enrolling a huge number of students. And about the ordinary schools in big cities, where kids learn precious little beyond how to do drugs, have sex, and fight.

A couple of years ago in an NYC high school, a girl was raped during math class, with the teacher present. The teacher claimed she hadn't seen it, and police and media interviews with the other students revealed that this was a perfectly plausible claim, given the usual conditions in the classroom. The noise level was deafening so the teacher wouldn't have heard anything (nor would the students have been catching much of the "math lesson"). A couple of boys stood up in front the rape location to block the view, and the teacher knew better than to endanger her life by trying to force these young thugs to sit down if they didn't want to, so she just went on with the "math lesson". Can you understand now why I think far too much angst is being expended on this teensy little gay school?

You can demand that any criminal scumbag in a private institution be turned over to police. It's not a matter of taxpayers' money. Crime is crime, wherever it's committed.

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?

I think you need to do a little more reading up on this school. It is anything but "elite". It is for kids who haven't been functioning even at the low levels which are normal for the NYC public schools, and offers "academics" like "culinary programs" -- i.e. classes aimed at helping these kids get absolutely bottom-rung jobs, like short-order cook, since most of them are at serious risk of never getting any job at all. College-bound kids of any sexual orientation will definitely want to attend school elsewhere.

FYI, the often quoted $10,000/year spending per student in NYC does NOT include the colossal budget of the corruption/nepotism/mob saturated NYC School Construction Authority. Most of the money mentioned in previous articles about this gay school refers to the upfront construction (actually renovation/remodelling) expense. There is no evidence that this school is spending more per student than any other NYC public school.

Societies exist when members of any group decide to act according to a certain set of rules. For the 'society' of the United States to continue, it is agreed that children will be introduced to the set of rules that will most likely support a healthy 'society.' That is why the family is given special tas benefits, and why education of the young is supported by tax money.

It is normal to question 'rules' and it really is the job of an adolescent to question the world of adulthood which he is approaching. At the same time, it is the job of adults to set the boundaries beyond which the adolescent should not go. This is dynamic, of course, not static.

That being said, the adults of today have not set appropriate boundaries, and the most adventurous/rebellious youths are having to go farther and farther to find any barrier to behavior at all.

In fact, adults are actively selling homosexual behavior to our children. For the past 20 years, girls and boys have been exposed to so much sexual influence, and 'normal' sexual behavior has been radically redefined. The idea that certain kinds of behavior can be 'wrong' is a concept which will be lost to new generations if we do not start resisting this corrosion of Rules of Society.

You say we are making too much fuss over '100' students.

I say this school is a serious alarm bell to awaken citizens to the harm being done to our next generations by a certain group of people who want not 'tolerance' or'acceptance' but 100% acknowledgement that perverted sex practices are normal and celebrated.

Pay a visit to a regular NYC public high school. The concept has already been lost to the vast majority of the generation attending (and to much of the generation teaching). The little fringe gay school is the least of the problem.

It's not that I think the gay school is a great idea, but the forces of rationality have got to stop letting themselves be diverted by fringe issues, while the bulk of our society is in urgent need of attention.

Very funny. Actually the stallions we break do usually end up being "fixed"!

Too right. You comments are succint, pointed, and I wish to God more people could see the truth the way you said it.

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

This is common now. In Eureka CA recently (I lived there for a while) there was a special "place" funded by local gov't hung with "rainbow flags" (what the hell do rainbows have to do with sodomy???), ads were everywhere about it, huge signs - for Gay, Lesbian, Bi, and QUESTIONING youth. They are including this QUESTIONING crap everywhere, and if one of these poor confused kids sees one of these "gay" counselors, that's it. He's enrolled in a lifetime membership in the "gay" community since the kid had one weird thought or weird experience.

And with all the sexualization of culture, media, entertainment and permissiveness - or being pushed into behaviors - it's common for young adolescents to have had a weird thought or experience. Then they are told: "You're Gay, and you can't change." No wonder they are suicidal and on drugs. What a death sentence.

I know about the quality of many of the "men in the world," but I never could connect being disillusioned with men to going lesbian.

A large percentage of lesbians were molested wshen young. Same for male homosexuals. When little girls are molested by men, it is a horrible terrifying and painful experience that scars them terribly. Some become extra-sexualized towards men at an early age, some turn to women, and some deal with it. And more and more adult lesbians are seducing adolescent girls. It's very very sad, I've seen it happen to a close relative. Now this person really wants children and family but having chosen the "gay" path it's an empty, miserable future.

I think what happened to Tammy was that she was raped at a young age and because of that she is not mentally able to deal with heterosexuality. I could be wrong, but I believe she's written about it.

She is a great and brave woman to go against the agendaists. I think pram summed it up in the other post.

To me, a hetero female, the choice has always been: A man or celibacy.

The only problem with this reasoning is that it begs the question of why any man would want to be heterosexual.

That is awfully sad. My heart goes out to her then. But she should be dealing with that in the office of a good psychiatrist instead of turning to a life in the arms of women. I suppose though that it's very difficult to find a psychiatrist who comes from a conservative perspective and could actually help someone who has been traumatized turn away from homosexuality.
