Statement on Homosexuality May 21, 2000 Our mission is to stop the usurpation of parental authority in all areas of society. Today, it is being stripped away from parents mostly in the public schools in relation to the teaching of homosexuality as an equally valid "life choice." Many parents have religious, medical, moral or personal objections to the teaching of homosexuality which are disregarded or "updated" by the influence the Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth unjustly has on the schools. This is not merely a public school problem, as there are several private schools and at least one religious school with gay clubs meeting at the close of the school day.
Although we don't believe that gayness is genetic, neither do we believe that it is fully a "decision." Often, one's "homosexuality" is thrust upon him by childhood molestation, poor familial relations, or general peer harassment during the adolescent years, including the continual calling of that child "gay." As we do not seek to intervene in a family's affairs, we attempt to stop childhood molestation and "gay" affirmation during adolescence by keeping the homosexual agenda out of schools.
Children attend gay-straight alliances with the intent to learn about their sexuality. Once there, "gay" is presented as a valid choice for any questioning youth. From what we have learned from parents, it is the only choice presented at gay-straight clubs, leaving a questioning youth to make the conclusion that he must be gay.
As Massachusetts public school students now exercise the "authority" to deem children gay, we will resist the Department of Education, the Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, the Governor and the Legislators as long as they continue to empower a school, its students or staff with the ability to make determinations on who is and is not gay. Homosexuality is no light matter, and certainly it is not a lifestyle which should be pushed upon our children.
Our concern is for the physical safety of gays, which requires that we advocate against the idea that "gay" is an equally valid "life choice." The dangers of being gay come from the behaviors associated with gayness rather than the supposed harassment from "homophobes." Anal intercourse, anal-oral stimulation, catamy, domestic violence, drug use, "fisting," fellatio, fecal ingestion, promiscuity, oral-sex, sadomasochism, and sodomy are all dangerous to the human body and ought never be practiced, let alone suggested in high school.
