TODD STARNES: Students opposed to LGBT agenda shamed in classroom.
During the class, the students, ages 14 and 15, were instructed to stand in a circle. Then, they were grilled about their personal beliefs and their parents’ beliefs on homosexuality, PJI [Pacific Justice Institute] alleges.
“The QSA [Queer Straight Alliance] had students step forward to demonstrate whether they believed that being gay was a choice and whether their parents would be accepting if they came out as gay,” PJI attorney Matthew McReynolds said. “Students who did not step forward were ridiculed and humiliated.”
The phrasing here is ambiguous, but presumably they were ridiculed if they supported the notion that being gay is a choice. Heretics!
They also had students line up to demonstrate where they fell on the “gender spectrum.”
“It was an exercise in gender fluidity,” the parent of one child told me. “They told the students that one day they could come to school feeling like a boy and the next day they could come to school feeling like a girl.”
Students were given a handout with LGBT terminology – including words like pan-sexual, demi-boy and gray gender.
Demi-boy/girl is defined as someone who only partially identifies as a man or woman. Gray gender defines someone who feels as though they sort of fit inside the gender binary, but that their gender is more hazy and undefined.
Some questions:
1) Okay, so being homosexual isn’t a choice. But is it a feeling like being a boy or being a girl, or is it just how things are? If it’s just how things are, then why isn’t that the case with being a boy or being a girl?
2) If someone can feel like a boy and then like a girl, can someone feel like a homosexual and then like a heterosexual? If so (and why not?), then why shouldn’t someone in California who feels like a homosexual be able to talk to a therapist about wanting to feel like a heterosexual?
3) What does it even mean to be “feeling like a boy” or to be “feeling like a girl”? Can we answer that question without engaging in evil gender [sic] stereotyping? If not, then how is one supposed to know what he’s feeling like?
4) If a boy feels like a girl – and, what is more, a lesbian girl – and he hits on a lesbian, and if she rejects him on the ground that he is actually a boy, is that lesbian a bigot? (In other words, who’s in the right in this video?)
