    It would prevent gay kids with unsupportive parents from receiving unbiased information in health class, from attending GSA meetings, from receiving handouts or viewing posters or displays about sexual orientation, and even from receiving private counseling in a school setting. It even includes a provision that would inhibit survey research about kids’ feelings of victimization or suicide.

    You can imagine how gay, lesbian or transgendered kids might be made to feel by a law including a definition of alternative sexual behavior that lumps any mention of their existence in with discussion of illegal activities like pederasty and prostitution.

    <

    p>
    The noxious content of this legislation says volumes about what the haters behind it want: to make as many gays and lesbians as possible disappear, by whatever means available.

      This is but the latest action from a group that claims the Day of Silence is “intimidating” and “coercive.” So the wingers start a so-called “Day of Truth” in which they encourage their kids to actively proselytize, in class, their very special religious agenda, and hand out leaflets full of distortions and lies.

      <

      But that’s neither intimidating nor coercive. Oh nooooo. Not at all! Why? Because they spread their lies and bigotry out of a loving concern for their opponents’ immortal souls, dontcha know.

    I’m surprised Calter’s on there… he should be one of the good ones. I wonder if he knew what he was signing.

    …the old NYTimes gay rights board was that, scratch a homophobe, and you will find either a racist, or an anti-semite, and in many cases both.

    <

    It is interesting to note that in 2002 and 2003 the US Holocaust Memorial Museum held an exhibition on the Nazi persecution of homosexuals.  Before that, the Nazi persecution of homosexuals had largely been ignored

    but that said, I’m glad to read that it wasn’t the actual legislators denying the holocaust, though that people are still supporting it after the arguments that show its absurdity is saddening.
