Have you noticed that a lot of time seems to be spent on pushing homosexuality into the subjects at school? Books in English class… often, one of the characters is gay. History…some teachers may bring up historical figures who some claim were gay. Health…lots of time on AIDS (even though there’s much higher risk for most people from other sexually transmitted diseases, like HPV and herpes).

Maybe your school is even one of those that has special events for homosexuality, like a "Day of Silence,"“Coming Out Day” or “Gay Pride Month.” Why is so much attention given to this?

And then there are the “multi-cultural” and “anti-bias” classes. Some of these can be pretty biased themselves--in favor of homosexuality or even cross-dressing, and away from any kind of common sense!

It may be called tolerance or diversity. It may be packaged as accepting people for “who they are.” There’s just one small problem with this idea: no one is “born” homosexual! There’s no evidence supporting this widely-held belief. Did you know this? In fact, most of the large “gay” activist organizations have backed off such bold claims because they have lost many debates on this issue. The science just isn’t there to back up this wishful thinking.

If all this has started to bother you, you aren’t alone.
