Public schools become focus of gay marriage ban

SAN FRANCISCO - A girl in pigtails bounds into the kitchen after school and asks her mother to guess what she learned that day. "I learned how a prince married a prince, and I can marry a princess," she exclaims to her mortified mom.

This television advertisement for a ballot initiative that would ban same-sex marriage in California urges voters to "protect children" by approving the measure.

There's not a word about education in Proposition 8, but what public schools will be required to teach about same-sex marriage has emerged as the central issue in the campaign.

The measure's supporters warn that teachers will be forced to tell young children about gay marriage if the measure fails on Nov. 4.

Opponents of the measure say that's deceptive because schools already are required to teach tolerance of gays and lesbians, and the ballot measure won't change that.

To combat anti-gay discrimination, California schools have addressed topics such as gay households, homophobia and sexual orientation for years, well before the state Supreme Court made same-sex marriage legal this year. But how school districts choose to deliver that instruction is decided locally instead of mandated by the state, according to educators and legal experts.

Supporters of Proposition 8 - which would overrule the state Supreme Court decision - received fodder for their claims earlier this month. With parental permission, a public charter school took 18 first-graders on a field trip to San Francisco City Hall where their teacher and her female partner had just been wed by Mayor Gavin Newsom.

(Opponents of the measure say that’s deceptive because schools already are required to teach tolerance of gays and lesbians, and the ballot measure won’t change that.)

See how complete is the gay lobby’s victory? Teaching the gay agenda = teaching tolerance!

The homosexual movement has nothing to do with homosexual rights. Attacking the foundation of the country, the family, is one of many methods socialists have been employing to destroy our Representative Democracy to replace it with socialism as evident in the Communist Goals read into the Congressional record in 1963.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

Gosh, I didn’t think of that. I mean they obviously are after the way our children think and feel and believe, but are you saying they are after our children sexually?””

Of course they are after children. Male homosexuals have an international organization called NAMBLA—North American Man Boy Love Association, devoted to allowing male homos to sexually abuse/rape boys. Homos will deny membership, but not being a member doesn’t mean they don’t want access. Roman homosexuals, bought, sold, and passed around young boys for fun and pleasure—these unfortunate boys were called catamites. This practice is part of the male homosexual lifestyle and estimates are that 90% or more of male homos were themselves molested by male adults when they were young boys. I lived in the San Fran area for many years in the 70s where passing around the twinks (young boys) was a common practice that is largely hidden in the back of the homosexual closet today. The “gay” community is dying to let this other secret yet emerge from the closet for full and accepted viewing. The homosexual agenda is like an infectious disease that seeks to infect all of society. Homosexuals want access to kids for sex, they want to adopt them to do with as they please, they want to forcibly educate them in a manner of sexual harrassment akin to disgusting sexual abuse even down to the first grade level.

I have been having fun lately going to youtube and leaving comments under every “vote no on 8” post there is.

Stop the hate, vote yes on 8

I went to a confirmation in San Francisco and was very encouraged by the church packed with devout believers. They have more than 10 righteous, so I believe God will not destroy the place, but man is doing a good enough job making it a living hell for everybody there.

Time for believers to rise up in righteousness and vote God's way in that city and state.

We don't want our kids taught that same sex marriage is equivalent to traditional marriage or that the gay lifestyle is any way normal or natural. So it was bound to emerge as an issue. They require forced indoctrination of kids in Massachusetts in the homosexual agenda already and it will happen next year in California if same sex marriage is allowed to remain legal.

They teach this crap in Massachusetts public schools, and parents are not allowed to opt out, so don’t you Californians believe it when they say it won’t happen there.

Same sex marriage is not just about live and let live. Its a real threat to parental rights and to religious freedom. We don't want to have our values marginalized and ultimately outlawed as a form of "hate."

Queers grooming children is code for queers molesting children. The Roman queers had their catamites. I don’t have a clue what Nambla was modeled after, but deviance needs no model. The intent is to allow the deviants to access the object of their perversion.
