If they are old enough to work at Planned Parenthood, they are old enough to attend a Gay Pride Parade.
The implication in your video was that CHILDREN, not young adults, were being forced to attend Gay Pride Parades.

The application for this PAID INTERNSHIP program clearly states that TEEN applicants must be enrolled in HIGH SCHOOL. High School starts at the age of 14 for most. The state of New York has a legal age of consent of 17.
Planned Parenthood doesn't require school kids to attend Gay Pride Parades.

So let's be clear. As part of teaching materials or any outreach to schools, Planned Parenthood does not require any high school students to attend gay pride parades.
On the other hand, Planned Parenthood requires high school students applying for employment with Planned Parenthood to attend a gay pride parade.
So, doctrain, was your child requested to do this? No? Was it other parents' children, who likely were already approving of them to work for PP, and had a chance to discuss the requirement with their kids and consider if it was appropriate or not? Meaning the "requirement" was actually a choice the teen could make, one they might be predisposed to not object to since they're already trying to work with Planned Parenthood and probably don't have a hostile attitude towards it or its mission?
Note that in the article, the line "causing some to question the organization’s use of taxpayer dollars" is not referring to some parents of the teens, or some teens who were asked to do this. The only "somebody" reported to have questioned PP's use of tax dollars was a man with "New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms", a group that touts itselfs as "a Christian ministry, [that] exists to influence legislation and legislators for the Lord Jesus Christ." (making their chosen name a supremely ironic one).

I think the person you were responding to would rather have people believe that schools are forcing kids to attend gay pride parades, so please don't bring him down with pesky things like facts and reading comprehension skills.
Thank you in advance

Grasping at straws? Planned Parenthood is going to junior highs to recruit suggestible 13-year-olds about jobs as soon as they start high school so they can "hook them on sex"? These kids are volunteering to be peer educators. They need to know what Planned Parenthood does. And part of what Planned Parenthood does is set up at community events like Gay Pride Parades to hand out educational literature and to just communicate with the community. These high-schoolers will come across homosexual students who have issues. Because like it or not, homosexuals do live amongst us.
Planned Parenthood requires high school students applying for employment with Planned Parenthood to attend a gay pride parade.
That is correct.
Why would kids as young as 14 be required (or even encouraged) for any reason to attend a gay pride parade, which has naked dancing men and depictions of S & M sex?
Why would PP feature videos that depict young girls in pony tails dropping their pants and asking other girls and boys to look at her and then show a strange adult man come in, check her out, while putting his arm around her?
These kids are volunteering to be peer educators. They need to know what Planned Parenthood does.
And PARENTS, need to know what Planned Parenthood really does, seeing as how they are very influential in public school sex education programs and organizations such as the Girl Scouts.

And why are all our tax dollars funding this organization which works hard to corrupt our kids???
The gay pride parade where I live has no naked dancing men, nor any depictions of S&M sex.
Did the specific parade in 2011 that was the requirement for that year have naked dancing men and depictions of S&M sex? Because you DO realize that most gay pride parades don't. That it's propaganda/misinformation that says that all gay pride parades do.
And the websites you are complaining about explicitly have disclaimers when directing people to links that are meant for mature viewers only. They aren't intended to "corrupt" children. Planned Parenthood doesn't want to "corrupt" children. And nothing you've said or that offensive video linked in the OP proves otherwise.

What Planned Parenthood REALLY does---provide education and confidential reproductive health services to millions of Americans regardless of the patient's ability to pay.

Yes. Link already provided.

The link I provided to a Planned Parenthood Website lists a long list of linked sites for TEENS. Some of the videos do suggest "mature" teens.
