The men at Concerned Women for America are at it again — they want to target schools that refuse to discriminate against gay students.
Concerned Women for America, a $10 million-a-year nonprofit and lobbying group, announced their “risk audit plan” in late April. The plan seeks to engage parents in a broad national effort to target schools which “promote” gay and lesbian activity by embracing non-discrimination policies and safe-sex curricula or harbor “objectionable” gay and lesbian novels aimed at children.
“Every school district in America has an absolute responsibility to protect children while they are at school,” the group writes in their 24-page audit plan. “There is no legitimate rationale for giving or implying endorsement of homosexual, bisexual or gender-variant behaviors among children of any age.”
…According to the document, homosexuality increases the risk of anal cancer, smoking, domestic violence, breast cancer and promiscuity [emphasis added].
I have heard it all now. Homosexuality increases the risk of smoking? That sounds like more pseudo-science from the Family “Research” Council. Personally, I’d like schools to protect all kids, including those who are questioning their sexual orientation or already know they are gay. I doubt knowing their schools could be targeted by wingnuts will do much to make them feel safe.
Well, all the gay men I know smoke like chimneys. It’s certainly something to think about.
I can see the anal cancer result, because after all, that orifice just ain’t designed as a playground. All that stress can’t be good for it. And as much as I hate to admit it, I do believe that gay men are more promiscuous than straight. (I believe that men, period, are more promiscuous–if you’re looking for another man, you’ve got a better chance of getting lucky, that’s all.)
Breast cancer? Because lesbians don’t get pregnant and breastfeed their God-intended quiverful? Maybe–but the lesbianism isn’t a direct cause of the cancer. (Cue James Earl Jones voice of Jehovah booming, “Oh, ISN’T it?”)
If this makes more of these creeps drop out of the public school system, so much the better. Then the rest of us can get on with teaching evolution, celebrating National Condom Week, and the like.
Del, I hear there are a lot of gay men who don’t have to worry about the cancer risk, if you get my drift. Mouth cancer, maybe, but that would put a lot of women at risk too if it were true. The only reason I don’t want these people to take their kids out of public schools is there will be nothing to contradict the hate the kids hear at home, and probably at church as well.
Mouth cancer. “Oh honey, you know I really want to, but I just can’t take that cancer risk…”
Good point about them being raised up with hate at home. Just like the little Muslim boys in those schools they have over there. Oh sigh, I guess we’ll be “seeing them at the pole” every year for some time to come…
As long as they aren’t smoking the pole. Sorry

Or dancing on it.
