Hmm, I thought all young people were liberal and love the gay movement?

Here is a passage:

Quote:
Students at a Pennsylvania high school held an “Anti-Gay Day” protest on Thursday, wearing coordinated flannel shirts, writing “anti-gay” on their hands, and sticking Bible verses on LGBT students’ lockers.
Another:
Quote:
roughly 50 students took part in a counter-protest on Thursday and Friday.

Also note this is in "Blue state" Pennsylvania- not a "Bible-belt red state" like Alabama.

Even though I think they have the right to their speech, I do not condone any bullying either, so nowhere in this post am I "anti-gay." I thought it would be interesting to discuss since people seem to think young people are all pro-gay and non-religious.

I'm probably speaking out of turn but I sort of thought flannel shirts were popular with a segment of the lesbian community?

But outside many of its big metro areas, much of Pennsylvania is as red as Oklahoma and Kansas.

I am sorry, but it does spell out to me that gays are recruiting kids at your local high-school.

But if one is born straight, then the recruiting will fail.

I see they have not learned what it is to be a Christian, maybe when they grow up, or maybe not and we can look forward to their ranting's on the internet.

No one can make you gay, you either are or are not, just as no one can make you a Christian, you either believe or you do not. The first group is not recruiting and the second one always is. Welcome to reality.

So why does a 16 year old kid needs to be Bisexual ? One day they have decided they are bisexual because it's cool.

Is it cool? The vast majority of straight and gay people would never consider having sex with someone that is not of the same leanings. But you are welcome to cross over and report back to us on the ins and outs of what it like to be something you are not.

Isn't it odd how in all other aspects of behavior humans are thought to be malleable. But sexual orientation is absolutely fixed at birth. You pop out straight, or gay, or bi, and that's it. You will never, ever change, no matter what environment you are placed in.
