Yesterday I received an email regarding the following:
April 25th.. A day of Silence for Homosexuals. http://www.afa.net/emails/transform.asp?x=dos_030508&s=browser&y=2008&m=03
DOS is sponsored by an activist homosexual group, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). DOS leads the students to believe that every person who identifies as a homosexual, bisexual or cross-dresser is a victim of ongoing, unrelenting harassment and hate. Students are taught that homosexuality is a worthy lifestyle, homosexuality has few or no risks, and individuals are born homosexual and cannot change.
Hmm... this should stir up something.
My issue with it is this. For those that support Homosexuality they are to be silent. However, those that choose not to will have quite the audience. Will those that decide not to remain silent be viewed as right winged hateful bigots? Or will they be respected for their decision not to support the homosexual lifestyle with out being harshly judged for their decision.
Not all schools are honoring this day, but I personally find it ridiculous. We are talking about a sexual choice for goodness sakes. What will it be next? Promiscuity day, or Free love day? What about a day for Swingers? Come on!!!
Okay, so I get that DOS does some good in that it is trying to put an end to the unrelenting harrassment of those that identify with the homosexual lifestyle. That is fine. I don't believe that anyone should be harrassed or made fun of. That is a form of hatred I don't find ever acceptable. However, that is not the only thing on their agenda. They want to educate our kids in that Homosexuality is a worthy lifestlye and that they are born with it.
What if I were to say that I disagree that ALL homosexuals were born that way. What if I believed that there are many reasons people decide to live that type of lifestyle and it has nothing to do with being born with it. What if I went as far as to say that I think for some it is even a perversion. What if I think that for say a Lesbian, she lacked that strong mother figure in her life and now seeks the intimacy from the same sex. Or a gay man didn't have that strong male father figure in his life so he seeks that intimacy from men just how young fatherless girls tend to be more permiscuouse. Do I think that making a choice to be gay was easy? NO. Why would they choose that lifestyle? Would that young permiscuouse girl want to have all those sexual partners? No! That is not ultimately what she is after, but she is trying to fill a gap that has always been left emptly.
Now that I have expressed my views on the subject those that are in support of DOS what do you think of me now? How do you judge me because I happened to disagree? That is my point. I don't think that it is fair do this to our kids. I will love you no matter what your sexual choice is, that is what we should teach our kids, but do I have to agree with it.

I knew when you used the word "lifestyle" that you thought it was a choice. I don't believe it is. You can look at small children and just know that they are gay. They aren't yet sexual but you can just tell that their interests, mannerisms, etc., are consistent with gay people you know.
That being said, this day of silence is ridiculous. :)
I have been around tons of children and perhaps it is because not yet, have I seen that in children. Many are different with a variety of interest and mannerisms but I haven't ever looked or thought a child was for sure going to grow up gay. But like I said I just haven't seen what you are talking about. This sparked some interest for me and I actually started to looking up as many articles as I could about a genetic homosexual gene. Scientist still haven't been able to prove it exist, however the articles I read were very informative about the causes and nature of homosexuality. Thanks for your opinion.
