Christians; What do you think of this checklist to for if your child's school is promoting homosexuality?

Question

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/941805/posts
portion of a sample letter parents can write: "Homosexuality has no place in our schools. This is not an issue where there are two valid sides, any more than there are two valid sides to drug or alcohol use by students.There is no rational reason to recommend homosexual experimentation to vulnerable and impressionable students. As a behavior, it is totally unnecessary for those participating in this lifestyle. While I feel compassion for those students involved, they need help, not so-called "support" to continue down a dangerous path."
Thoughts of Christian parents please?

God'sKnite- Well said with tact and empathy. My feelings exactly. HUGE ROUND OF APPLAUSE SHOULD BE FORTHCOMING FROM ALL MORAL HUMAN BEINGS AND AMERICANS!

Answer 1

It's a great idea, and very necessary to defend children from The Homosexual Agenda.

I hope that you're able to distribute it to a vast number of people.

I see that the radical homosexuals and their sympathizers are coming out in force to attack you, but never mind them - keep up the great work!

THE REASON THEY'RE ATTACKING YOU IS BECAUSE THE DOCUMENT IS SO EFFECTIVE AND WILL WAKE PEOPLE UP!

I'M GOING TO DISTRIBUTE IT MYSELF!


Homosexual Statistics
Facts and Statistics About Homosexuals
Some statistics about the Homosexual lifestyle:
• One study reports 70% of homosexuals admitting to having sex only one time with over 50% of their partners (3).
• One study reports that the average homosexual has between 20 and 106 partners per year (6). The average heterosexual has 8 partners in a lifetime.
• Many homosexual sexual encounters occur while drunk, high on drugs, or in an orgy setting (7).
• Many homosexuals don't pay heed to warnings of their lifestyles: "Knowledge of health guidelines was quite high, but this knowledge had no relation to sexual behavior" (16).
• Homosexuals got homosexuality removed from the list of mental illnesses in the early 70s by storming the annual American Psychiatric Association (APA) conference on successive years. "Guerrilla theater tactics and more straight-forward shouting matches characterized their presence" (2). Since homosexuality has been removed from the APA list of mental illnesses, so has pedophilia (except when the adult feels "subjective distress") (27).
• Homosexuals account for 3-4% of all gonorrhea cases, 60% of all syphilis cases, and 17% of all hospital admissions (other than for STDs) in the United States (5). They make up only 1-2% of the population.
• Homosexuals live unhealthy lifestyles, and have historically accounted for the bulk of syphilis, gonorrhea, Hepatitis B, the "gay bowel syndrome" (which attacks the intestinal tract), tuberculosis and cytomegalovirus (27).
• 73% of psychiatrists say homosexuals are less happy than the average person, and of those psychiatrists, 70% say that the unhappiness is NOT due to social stigmatization (13).
• 25-33% of homosexuals and lesbians are alcoholics (11).
• Of homosexuals questioned in one study reports that 43% admit to 500 or more partners in a lifetime, 28% admit to 1000 or more in a lifetime, and of these people, 79% say that half of those partners are total strangers, and 70% of those sexual contacts are one night stands (or, as one homosexual admits in the film "The Castro", one minute stands) (3). Also, it is a favorite past-time of many homosexuals to go to "cruisy areas" and have anonymous sex.
• 78% of homosexuals are affected by STDs (20).
• Judge John Martaugh, chief magistrate of the New York City Criminal Court has said, "Homosexuals account for half the murders in large cities" (10).
• Captain William Riddle of the Los Angeles Police says, "30,000 sexually abused children in Los Angeles were victims of homosexuals" (10).
• 50% of suicides can be attributed to homosexuals (10).
• Dr. Daniel Capron, a practicing psychiatrist, says, "Homosexuality by definition is not healthy and wholesome. The homosexual person, at best, will be unhappier and more unfulfilled than the sexually normal person" (10). For other psychiatrists who believe that homosexuality is wrong, please see National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality.
• It takes approximately $300,000 to take care of each AIDS victim, so thanks to the promiscuous lifestyle of homosexuals, medical insurance rates have been skyrocketing for all of us(10).
• Homosexuals were responsible for spreading AIDS in the United States, and then raised up violent groups like Act Up and Ground Zero to complain about it. Even today, homosexuals account for well over 50% of the AIDS cases in the United States, which is quite a large number considering that they account for only 1-2% of the population.
• Homosexuals account for a disproportionate number of hepatitis cases: 70-80% in San Francisco, 29% in Denver, 66% in New York City, 56% in Toronto, 42% in Montreal, and 26% in Melbourne (8).
• 37% of homosexuals engage in sadomasochism, which accounts for many accidental deaths. In San Francisco, classes were held to teach homosexuals how to not kill their partners during sadomasochism (8).
• 41% of homosexuals say they have had sex with strangers in public restrooms, 60% say they have had sex with strangers in bathhouses, and 64% of these encounters have involved the use of illegal drugs (8).
• Depending on the city, 39-59% of homosexuals are infected with intestinal parasites like worms, flukes and amoebae, which is common in filthy third world countries (8).
• The median age of death of homosexuals is 42 (only 9% live past age 65). This drops to 39 if the cause of death is AIDS. The median age of death of a married heterosexual man is 75 (8).
• The median age of death of lesbians is 45 (only 24% live past age 65). The median age of death of a married heterosexual woman is 79 (8).
• Homosexuals are 100 times more likely to be murdered (usually by another homosexual) than the average person, 25 times more likely to commit suicide, and 19 times more likely to die in a traffic accident (8).
• 21% of lesbians die of murder, suicide or traffic accident, which is at a rate of 534 times higher than the number of white heterosexual females aged 25-44 who die of these things(8).
• 50% of the calls to a hotline to report "queer bashing" involved domestic violence (i.e., homosexuals beating up other homosexuals) (18).
• About 50% of the women on death row are lesbians (12).
Homosexuals prey on children.
• 33% of homosexuals ADMIT to minor/adult sex (7).
• There is a notable homosexual group, consisting of thousands of members, known as the North American Man and Boy Love Association ( NAMBLA). This is a child molesting homosexual group whose cry is "SEX BEFORE 8 BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE." This group can be seen marching in most major homosexual parades across the United States.
• Homosexuals commit more than 33% of all reported child molestations in the United States, which, assuming homosexuals make up 2% of the population, means that 1 in 20 homosexuals is a child molester, while 1 in 490 heterosexuals is a child molester (19).
• 73% of all homosexuals have had sex with boys under 19 years of age (9).
• Many homosexuals admit that they are pedophiles: "The love between men and boys is at the foundation of homosexuality" (22).
• Because homosexuals can't reproduce naturally, they resort to recruiting children. Homosexuals can be heard chanting "TEN PERCENT IS NOT ENOUGH, RECRUIT, RECRUIT, RECRUIT" in their homosexual parades. A group called the "Lesbian Avengers" prides itself on trying to recruit young girls. They print "WE RECRUIT" on their literature. Some other homosexuals aren't as overt about this, but rather try to infiltrate society and get into positions where they will have access to the malleable minds of young children (e.g., the clergy, teachers, Boy Scout leaders, etc.) (8). See the DC Lesbian Avengers web page, and DC Lesbian Avengers Press Release, where they threaten to recruit little boys and girls. Also, see AFA Action Alert.
The Homosexual Agenda.
• The Homosexual Agenda includes desensitizing the public: "The first order of business is desensitization of the American public concerning gays and gay rights.....To desensitize the public is to help it view homosexuality with indifference instead of with keen emotion. Ideally, we would have straights register differences in sexual preferences the way they register different tastes for ice cream or sports games....At least in the beginning, we are seeking public desensitization and nothing more. We do not need and cannot expect a full 'appreciation' or 'understanding' of homosexuality from the average American. You can forget about trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if only you can get them to think that it is just another thing...then your battle for legal and social rights is virtually won" (25).
• Part of The Homosexual Agenda is to get the public to affirm their filthy lifestyle, as one homosexual admitted in the October 1987 homosexual rally on Washington: "We are no longer seeking just a right to privacy and a protection from wrong. We also have a right -- as heterosexual Americans already have -- to see government and society affirm our lives" (27).
• Part of The Homosexual Agenda is to turn people from Christianity: "The teaching that only male-female sexual activity within the bounds and constraints of marriage is the only acceptable form should be reason enough for any homosexual to denounce the Christian religion" (1).
• Homosexuals knowingly lied (and still lie) about the 10% figure (i.e., homosexuals make up 10% of the population). As Tom Stoddard (formerly of the Lambda Legal Defense Fund) said, "We used that figure when most gay people were entirely hidden to try to create an impression of our numerousness" (17).
The true number of homosexuals.
• The Kinsey study of 1948, which homosexuals often cite to say that 10% of the population is homosexual, actually says that only 4% of the population is EXCLUSIVELY homosexual. This study involved a disproportionate number of people who had been in jail for sex crimes (hardly a random sample of the population). Kinsey also did perverse studies involving young boys and pedophiles. Information on Kinsey.
• Current research shows that the true percentage of homosexuals is in the 1-2% range (15,23,26,28). Consider how small this number is when compared to most of the numbers above.
Homosexuals aren't discriminated against in employment, so why should they be a protected class?
• The average yearly income of a homosexual is $55,430.00 (most of which is disposable because no children to take care of!). The average of the general population is $32,144.00. The average of blacks is $12,166.00 (24).
• 59.6% of homosexuals are college graduates. 18.0% of the general population are college graduates (24). Too bad they aren't smart enough to listen to God. "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" (Romans 1:22).
• 49.0% of homosexuals hold professional/managerial positions. 15.9% of the general population hold such positions (24). Where's the job discrimination?
Sexual Orientation
• A phrase that has come up recently in this earth is "sexual orientation." This is a phrase made up by homosexuals to try to make themselves look less filthy than they really are. The purpose of the phrase is to take the spotlight from what these perverts do, and put it on the notion that they are just poor, mistreated people, who simply are attracted to members of the same sex - as if they aren't engaging in activity forbidden by God Almighty. "Sexual orientation," as used today, has nothing to do with sexual activity (yeah, right), but only refers to who or what a particular person is attracted to. If you think that people of other "sexual orientations" are just fine, let's see what other "sexual orientations" you would necessarily have to accept as wholesome and pure. If you're not going to discriminate based on "sexual orientation", then you must not discriminate against any of the following. If you discriminate against any of these, you're a hypocrite. These "sexual orientations" are generally known as "paraphilias", and are mental disorders - just like homosexuality used to be (29).

Answer 2

Well, I would question the source. This couple have fostered 28 children. How many other people have done that? And if they don't want to promote homosexuality, so what? Why do gays think that they can push everybody around, and that we ALL have to accept 'gay pride'? Let foster parents care for kids, they're doing a good enough job as it is, why does somebody have to make it even harder? And we're talking about KIDS, not just the foster parents. Why should gay people hold so much sway? Where is their humanity? We're talking about KIDS.

Answer 3

I am not a parent, but I am a Christian, and I've always been dumbfounded at vehement distaste for this specific sin of homosexuality coming from Christians. Simply stated, everyone sins and I do recognize that some sins are more serious than others, all sins stood equal when Christ was on the cross, dying for the sins of all humanity.

And to be honest, it flat out angers me that such attention is put on warding off homosexuality, but people commit adultery MUCH more often than homosexual activities. Think about it: 97% of people do not wait until marriage to have sex, and then of those who get married, a little more than half of those get divorced, and of those who get divorced, more than half get remarried. Not that I'm necessarily preaching out about that issue, but come one, I rarely see such vehement hate for adultery as I do for homosexuality.

Yes, it is a sin, but people are treating it as if it's the only sin, or the worth sin, and the hate needs to stop. Children need to be taught to love, and treat others with kindness and respect despite whatever sins they commit. It will be easier to reach out to sinners if there is not such a negative stigma with Christianity.

I personally don't view anything on that checklist as being specifically supporting homosexuality. The main message I get from those actions is to stop the hate. Should homosexuals be taunted? Homosexual students shouldn't receive any special privileges that aren't given to any other student, nor should they receive any less. That means they should be entitled to protection from the school if treatment reaches a point where it is extremely inappropriate, and the ability to start clubs if they get a sponsor and follow all other rules.

I think there is definitely a way for Christians to project the truth that they feel is necessary to pass on, but while remaining graceful and respectful. And it no way should we target one particular sin. We all sin, and we should be offering forgiveness instead of telling people they will be damned for their behavior. And I guarantee that by telling young homosexuals that they need help, as if they are suffering from a psychological problem, is not the way to believe in the forgiving nature of God.

Answer 4

OMG!!! I hope people click on the link and read that checklist, because it speaks for itself. How dare schools have a "safe schools" non-harrassment policy and warn students about the dangers of AIDS? Do the people posting this list not realize that heterosexual females are the fastest growing population of AIDS victims?

Answer 5

everyone else has pretty much summed up the ignorance in the question, i just want to point out that HOMOSEXUALITY and MOLESTATION are two VERY DIFFERENT concepts. it is dangerous that uneducated minds feel the words are synonymous.

In 1992, alarmed over claims made during a campaign for an anti-gay state constitutional amendment in Colorado, two physicians reviewed every case of suspected child molestation evaluated at Children's Hospital in Denver over a one-year period. Of the 269 cases determined to involve molestation by an adult, only two of the perpetrators could be identified as gay or lesbian. The researchers concluded that the risk of child sexual abuse by an identifiably gay or lesbian person was between zero and 3.1%, and that the risk of such abuse by the heterosexual partner of a relative was over 100 times greater.

statistics like these are the most common, simply read up on unbiased news dealing with all issues, even the issues you are AFRAID of, like homosexuality, or science, perhaps.

Answer 6

I can't see this happening anywhere. Where is it happening.

Sex, of all kinds, is taboo in the school system.

OK, let's get it clear and NO ONE will deny this.

A homosexual male allowed into the boys shower room is almost the same as allowing a heterosexual boy into the girls shower room.

The same holds true for girls.

If someone comes "out of the closet" and boys or girls in the school complain, do you honestly think the school will do nothing.

The big thing is will someone complain. Most will not. They'll usually take the law into their own hands.

Any homosexual, especially males, who deny they don't look and don't enjoy is about as honest as any hetero who says they didn't have any reaction to the accidental "sneak peek" of the Homecoming queen female.

You remember that scene in MASH where they dropped the walls while Hot Lips was showering and all the men were just sitting around haveing a drink waiting for the show.

The big thing most people have to realize is in the Boys locker rooms in Calfornia it was open communal showers in the Girl's locker rooms it was private stalls.

Girls did not communally shower naked in front of 20 other girls in a big room, guys did.

And I can assure you, from the lesbian and bi girls I know, that they WILL definately be checking out thier "favs" if given an opportunity.

For the school to allow a Homosexual club, it would have to allow a Heterosexual club. I doubt they'd do that!

This sounds extremist and ultra liberal and any school doing it should end up in a court.

The next thing you know, they'll be using the KAma Sutra in Health and Biology courses!

Answer 7

the Bible does tell us that homoism is a sin, however the greatest command that Jesus gave us was to love everyone. This is not an emotional love, but a love that is full of grace and kindness and willing to give what is needed to those in need.

Answer 8

I would just add that there is no reason to recommend any sexual experimentation to vulnerable and impressionable students. As a Christian I have the traditional views of Christians regarding sexuality, but even if I did not, it would still be a terrible concept to promote children to have sex *insert eye-shift to Planned Parenthood... psychos*

Every culture in the history of the human race has an understanding of sexual rites in one context or another. They may vary from culture to culture, but they always exist. There is never rampant sexual whoredom found as appropriate in any culture, and to promote such behavior in our children. It's not just an issue of homosexuality being promoted, it is an issue of any sexuality being promoted.

On the note of homosexuality, you can all flame me if you want, but I am only going to use what is for my statement, and if you don't like it, that's because you are part of the people I'm talking about. Five years ago, and all those years prior in the history of psychological and psychiatric science, homosexuality has been considered a mental disorder resulting from different sorts of trauma as a child. Sometimes neglect, sometimes abuse, sometimes a mixture of those and some other factors. Now that disorder has become so rampant that American culture has decided to desert the people who need the help because there are a lot of them and just say that it is a lifestyle choice.

Rewind with me. Thirty years ago promiscuity was considered a disorder as well, resulting pretty much from the same causes as homosexuality. Same story, that disorder became so rampant in American culture that we discarded it as a disorder and abandoned those people in need by changing it to be a "lifestyle chioce".

Fastforward. Pretty much the only two sexual behaviors still considered inappropriate today are rape and child molesting. There are those already in the political battle to claim that child molesting is no more than a lifestyle choice...

America needs to wake up to the needs of people who have disorders due to poor parenting and take responsibility for those in need in our societies. It has come to a point where those of us who care about homosexuals and those who are promiscious are labeled as "haters". Yeah, because we believe that these people who are affected deserve a victory over their pain, and because we are prepared to fight to save them, we hate them. The people who abandon them to darkness and just won't deal with the issue really are the ones who love them.

Oh, and this part is pre-emptive for all those who will say, "But they want to be that way!" Would you use that argument for anorexia? Would you use it for people who have a problem with cutting? How about people who are bipolar? Obsessive compulsive? I could go on to list about thirty more. For those who say "But they aren't hurting anyone!" Look at the things that happen to these people, they end up with unwanted pregnancies, abusive relationships, confusion, fear, and countless other emotional problems.

Okay, my rant is done, let the hate mail commence!

I stand by that though, it is time for America to stop putting off people who need help, just because it's a popular problem. We destroy our future generations by neglect, then we call it our culture.

Answer 9

Currently compiling checklist just in case your school has stupid biggots... This may take a little while...

Done, looks strangely similar to your check list:

1. Ask the school whether they have a non-harassment program.

If they don't, ask them why, if they don't support such a program for reasons such as believing they "protect dangerous behavour" this school may be biggoted and is technically encouraging the violent beating of those different from them... Don't expose your kids to that.

2. Ask how the school would react (assuming the children are past puberty) to students desiring to form a homosexual student club.

While resistance to the idea doesn't necisarily indicate anything, the reasons may be biggoted and stupid.

3. Ask if they have a non-discrimination policy based on "sexual orientation".

If they don't, the obvious implication is they discriminate... Do you honestly want your kids to be taught to descriminate?

4. Check for programs to stop "homophobia," "hate" or "bias"

Okay, again, doesn't indicate anything, but if they have a negative reaction to the ideas of such programs... Well, yeah, they're promoting hate and bias, you definitely want that around you children.

5. If they have AIDS and "safe sex" education...

Well, it has little to do with whether or not they're biggoted, and everything to do with your kid's health... But your kid doesn't need to not get gonorrhea, right?

7. See if they would hire a homosexual teacher...

If not... LAWSUIT!

8. See what their opinions are on diversity and homophobia.

Seriously, if they're scared of people being labeled as biggots... Chances are, they are biggots.

Answer 10

The sexual discovery of a pubescent teenager is not a form of addiction or deviance as you suggest and if you think love is evil, you're the sicko psycho whore, not me..

I as a gay man have NEVER EVER recommended homosexual 'experimentation' to anyone. I am not arrogant enough to think I can influence anyone's sexual orientation.

I do not have a 'gay' agenda. I live an ASHLEY lifestyle and I am faithful to my boyfriend.

Answer 11

This is true. If sex is a right of privacy then it should be kept private behind closed doors. But although they claim this right based on the right to privacy they then show their true colors by bringing sex in to schools where it is public and you have many different views and the majority do not want to even hear about this worthless , meaningless behavior of a few twisted minds and their supporters.
