It is a simple matter of fact that gay activists are using legislation to expand their influence within the mainstream community. To state otherwise is either ignorance or dis-honesty. Frankly, I'm not opposed to much of what gay activists want in spite of the viscious and idiotic gay authoritarians who post on this forum.
I was being sarcastic - I think there is a broad movement to indoctrinate young people into the gay movement. Militant liberals fan the flames by using hate language to anyone who does not agree with their agenda.

Uh, actually, yes, that's the whole point of parochial schools.

Maybe that was in the spoken interview, but I was not able to find it in the NYT article.

As a matter of fact I am having a hard time believing he is really straight after reading it.

I'm not referring to the article. I'm referring to another interview I recently listened to with a former gay man/gay activist.

Me, too, but I must take him at his word. He does seem very troubled.

Well, for all you repubs who long for the way things were in the '50s...THAT IS the way it was. It DID 'take a village...'. Pre-'70s, any grown-up felt free to keep a child in line if the parents weren't around, such as when the kids were playing outside or in a park, etc..., and the kids generally listened to and had respect for said grown-up.

Today, not only would the 'grown-up' get an earful once the parents found out that someone actually had the NERVE to discipline their child, the person would probably be looked upon as a lurking pervert.

Are repubs bi-polar, or something?
Want to eat their cake and have it, too?

They long for a time gone by, but apparently don't really like how it was then. But, I suppose it is only offensive if a democrat writes something like that. Imagine if Sara Palin wrote that book....oh, boy, she would be mother of the decade, espousing all those republican family/neighborhood values!

LOL - not

uh huh. Parochial.

Those aren't public schools, are they? You don't have a clue why we are bothered by the fact that the lefties go into public schools and try to brainwash our kids?

Would you care to reveal the source or is it a big secret?
