seminars make people gay? Or was his son pretty much on the way to gay anyway?
"seminars make people gay? Or was his son pretty much on the way to gay anyway?"
Well it is a choice. People that are weak can make bad choices with bad peer pressure.
I hope you later thought better of such a comment and now regret it. Purposefully encouraging an extremely dangerous behavior on young people who are just learning about their own sexuality is predation on the weak. That it was state sponsored makes it even more abhorrent when it operates under the rubric of being a government by the people.
The trust and the position, IMHO, was violated here...and the coousre could have caused such a teenager, who is naturally questioning his parents at that age anyway, to begin thinking and looking at things differently.

I attended a gay seminar once and woke up the next morning in a bath house with a sore butt and a thankyou note in my hand. sarc/
These seminars may not be designed to "make people gay." That said, they serve the useful purpose of sowing the seeds of doubt in children's heads.
People are not born gay as far as science goes. It is a process of indoctrination and most gays claim to have been molested by men as children or during puberty.
There must be more to this story. They must not have spoken about the gay lifestyle with the kid because a lot of Christians think it is sinful to even talk about it. Also it sounds like a major case of rebellion and the gays know how to plug into and use that energy in a troubled kid. They do it all the time which is why they have their teen sex clubs open to "gays and straights." They try to convert the straights into gays or bi's by asking - how do you know unless you try it. They tell them - it is safest to do it with an experienced adult your first time. (Department of Education sponsored seminar for gay straight teen club)
Also this kid could have been marked as an easy target and molested throughout the week by gay men. They like to pick the kids who are unsure of themselves and they REALLY like to nail Christian kids and actully discuss amongst themselves on NAMBLA how to hit on Christian kids.
I have grossed out both my kids with the consequences of gay sex articles and pictures. I have spoken with them about recruitment and shown them Nambla conversations and articles on how sneaky and evil these creeps are in their desire to corrupt kids. They know about the bath houses; the drug use and all the diseases from medical journals and violence from studies of gay life. They were not surprised when I showed them the article of the guy who died having anal sex with a horse. When the schools approach them as if they are talking about Ozzie and Ozzie, my kids are educated to the contrary in very concrete and scientific terms. They ask uncomfortable questions of the indoctrinators. The bottom line for my kids is: This is why God say it grosses him out - it is an abomination. Warn people.
Parents reading this: You are living in a society that is filled with very powerful adults who are committed to actively recruiting your kids into behaviors and mentalities that will kill them. You pretend that if you ignore it, it will go away. It will not go away. When gays came out of the closet, something ugly arrived and they are demanding that we pretend it is not what it actually is and that it is "love" to be celebrated. They sexually own your kids on their turf and they are hugely aggressive in their authority over you and your kids. Get real. Read the awful truth and warn your kids because they won't find out from the gay "educator."

No, the truth is that homosexuals hunt troubled adolescents and confuse them and recruit them during their most vulnerable period of development. In this case, the state assists in this molestation.
Children go through stages of devolopment. Essentially homosexuals are trying to confuse children into extending the "girsl are icky" into a permanent state of adolecense. (kind of like the Opera Castratos)
There is ZERO reason to discuss a purely recreational sex conduct as normal before children. This was a pure recruitment effort and if anything teaching homosexuality behavior probably violated some parental consent law.
Probably forced him to listen to Clay Aikens CD's for two days straight. In all series, this is stupid. If we took out the word "gay" and a said something like "Dad Says His Son Damaged by Junk Food Served at State Sponsored Program" would we all be laughing about our litigious society and the the failure to exercise personal responsibility. If this kid suddenly went queer, then it has nothing to do with the state sponsored program. He either chose to go queer, and if he didn't happen at this program then it would happened some place else, or more likely he became queer the moment his mommy's egg mated with his daddy's sperm, in which case dear ol' dad has no-one to blame but himself.
There are kids out there who are on the line, they are more pliable than others but that does not minimize a seminar where they tell people to question their sexuality and attack Bible versus...

He's a kid dude. Kid's can be manipulated easily by these perverts. It's a form of brainwashing as far as I'm concerened.
The term is "chicken-hawked". Do some reading. It'll make you ill.
There is a reason why gay men prey on teenage boys. They are insecure, often feel rejected, and are very vulnerable. On top of that they get horny when the wind blows. Put all this together, and yes adult predators can have an effect on the how boys think about sex.
Can't say for sure, but I think prisons know how to do it.
There's a difference between "pretty much" (i.e., some pre-disposition) and declaring oneself 'gay'. This seminar was intended to help push that declaration, and that's wrong.
The Governor's School, if it's like the one in Virginia, is a summer program (live-in, away from home and alone for probably the first time) for selected gifted students who have met a rigorous competitive criteria. The kids are young and vulnerable.
This IS a disgrace.
Troll.
