Gay Groups Exploit Teen Suicides for Political Ends

Linda Harvey at MissionAmerica has a great article on the sexual-radical political lobby's exploitation of tragic suicides by confused teens. The damage done by their homosexual indoctrination programs in our schools is immeasurable. (My family has experienced it first-hand.)

Harvey points to Candi Cushman's excellent analysis of the propaganda tool GLSEN uses as justification of its programs in the schools, its "School Climate Survey."

Is 'gay' agenda to blame for teen suicides?

By Linda Harvey

WorldNetDaily, Oct. 6, 2010

Details are sketchy in the recent rash of homosexual-related teen suicides throughout the nation, but already the "gay" lobby is ready to exploit our children one more time....

How do families and school communities cope with such tragedy? As a parent, I cannot even imagine the heartbreak. In trying to prevent such devastating events in the future, emotional manipulation can lead schools and communities to implement wrongheaded, harmful plans of action. That's what is being attempted now. But it's nothing new. It's been the modus operandi of homosexual activism for the past 20 years.

It's time to stop it, now.

Would widespread community embrace of homosexuality and gender-switching prevent some of these suicides? Or is misinformation actually a contributor to the despair embedded in these tragedies?

The homosexual lobby has gone into full demand mode, particularly GLSEN (the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network) and the Human Rights Campaign. Obama Education Secretary Arne Duncan hosted a national summit on bullying with homosexual activists present and featuring former GLSEN president and "safe schools" czar Kevin Jennings. There's a renewed press for passage of H.R. 4530, national legislation that goes beyond stronger anti-bullying measures to incorporate mandatory pro-"gay" propaganda. ...

The already troubled youngster is often the one drawn to homosexuality or gender compromise and is extremely vulnerable. For many reasons, the grand experiment is crashing before our eyes. But it's our precious young people, the targets of the double barrels of cruel words as well as cruel sexual manipulation, who are paying the ultimate price.

Another Call for Kevin Jennings Ouster as "Safe Schools Czar"

"Degrading Sex, Government Style"

… President Obama is under fire for moving too slowly to champion homosexual rights, in the view of leading voices on the left. The appointment of a “czar” like Kevin Jennings is one way in which President Obama can ensure the influence of homosexual-rights-activists in important places – like our nation’s public schools – without the president’s having to pass a law, or even hold a Congressional hearing, both of which might generate public attention and opposition.  That Jennings’ influence in the Department of Education might promote the early or inappropriate sexualization of children is apparently not as important as what Jennings’ appointment might do in the way of smoothing relations between President Obama and the Human Rights Campaign.

In the case of the 2000 and 2001 sex education workshops sponsored in part by the Massachusetts state education establishment, the state partnered with GLSEN and with Planned Parenthood (known usually as the nations’ largest abortion provider), which provided the actual fisting “kits” available to participants.  Both of these groups are clearly outside the “mainstream” of adults’ thinking and behavior about human sexuality and respect for human life and dignity.  When states offer taxpayer dollars to private “partners” for carrying out state programs, the identity of these partners matters a lot.

Groups like Planned Parenthood, GLSEN, or another frequent government partner – SIECUS (Sexuality Information and Education Council of the U.S) -- have little in common with the average American’s beliefs about sexual morality.  For such groups, the body is a tool, an object to be managed to maximize physical pleasure while minimizing disease and pregnancy.  The materials they publish for adolescents can only be described as depressing and dehumanizing.  Watchdog groups and citizens are vitally necessary in order to expose these groups, and the government programs and bureaucrats who would partner with them. 

One of the outcomes of the current tempest over Kevin Jennings should be his ouster.  But surely another should be a demand that the government get out and stay out of the business of instructing our children about human sexuality in ways that degrade them specifically as children, and also as human beings. [Emphasis added.]
