Oh, human stupidity
Just a few wonderful things I've come across while I was doing research for my paper... I'm not even going to address everything that's wrong with all of it, you know the drill.
"I have seen a few of her friends starting to "consider" if they are lesbian also. These girls, who played with Barbies, saw themselves marrying a prince just last year. Now they are wondering if they are gay? Her friends see the gay issue as "cool" and interesting and a definite option for love."
- Betty Humphrey. Kamloops Daily News. Kamloops, B.C.: May 27, 2006. pg. A.6
"Marriage between one man and one woman, and the nuclear family have forever been cornerstones of civilized society. A conjugal relationship involving a man and woman is what must be promoted in the school curriculum as the only option that surpasses all others."
- Keith Jordan. Chilliwack Times. Chilliwack, B.C.: Jul 21, 2006. pg. 9
"But he never realized how different he was until the first time someone called him “queer.” It was like a devastating gunshot wound to his heart. And when others joined in and added the title “fag” to the insults, Jeremy was humiliated beyond words. By the time he reached high school, he was basically considered an outcast. He couldn’t communicate his fears to his dad—in fact, Jeremy couldn’t relate to him at all. So, slowly, he found himself in a world with no male companions or acceptance from men. Soon, Jeremy began to crave attention from guys and even fantasize what it could be like if a boy really liked him."
- Focus On the Family website
[I...don't even have words for how ridiculous this is, and the rest of their "fact sheet" about homosexuality is plain appalling because it is filled with stereotypes and assumptions and conceit. *sigh* Albeit ironically, this little extract could also be reason to support anti-homophobia education - calling people fag will actually turn them into one! Oh noes!]

I know which I'd prefer my child engaging in! I fail to understand how Barbies and princes are better than free thought and love. Crazy world.
