I’d like to know where on earth they got that picture from. I’m wishing I had some peril-sensitive sunglasses right now. How anyone could call that “typical” of anything escapes me.

Sounds like they were watching Aimee & Jaguar, which was actually loosely based on a true story. It’s an interesting movie, I watched it in a German studies Sex and Gender in Film class last term.
As far as I can tell it’s not rated in the US, but it’d probably earn no more than an R. At least, I’m sure it wouldn’t if it featured straight folk.
It’s definitely not a movie to make kids think, “hey, it’d be swell to be attracted to the same sex.”

ignoranceâ‰ innocence
Kids know more than their parents give them credit for. Teachers, at least good ones, recognize this. If kids are going to think they know everything, we might as well give them the facts.

Moms for ohio are also promoting a special licence plate that has an american flag on it with “one nation under god” written at the bottom. The flag is especially useful to let the world know what fucking country Ohio is in. http://www.momsforohio.com/images/stories/license_plate_1.jpg
They claim to be non-partisan, but endorse only republicans. I smell astroturf.

Someone above said that it should be “motherS and fathers,” but I disagree — they’re referring to gay parents as “mother and fathers.”

It’s a dig.

Lesbian sex between a German jew and a Nazi sympathizer during WW2??? How come I never got to watch kickass movies like that when I was in high school?

I love sporks. That pamphlet stresses the GSA as strenuously as it does Poison Control. Tempest in a chamberpot. Feh.

Life is a big bowl of angry flakes, best eaten with a spork.

I can’t believe you folks are nitpicking about grammatical errors. Seriously, get a LIFE. If that’s the best you can do, then you’re obviously not serious about discussing the matter, you merely want to obfuscate it with your stupidity.

What’s really important: Children are being denied their right to both birth control and information regarding it. Gay children are being denied access to information which can help keep them sane. So if you want your kids pregnant or suicidal, go for it, but don’t restrict the rights of sane people who want their kids to live to the age of majority without getting horrific diseases, burdening themselves and their parents with unwanted children or killing themselves because they don’t have a peer group to communicate with.

How many of these wingnuts who want to promote abstinence, and only abstinence, were actually still virgins when THEY got married? Har.

Pro-family? I wouldn’t want them to have access to any child.
The “Crotch Watch Squad” is just creepy, and people are just tired of these closet perverts.

Just one quibble regarding your favorite website: it’s unlubedanalfisting.ORG

It’s a registered non-profit. Because it’s about the fisting.

I guess you’ll have to start censoring the phone book too.

You guys should read Ralf KÃ¶nigs comic book version of the old Greek play “Lysistrate”…

When the women goes on sex strike to end the war with Sparta, another part of the Greek society sees its chance…(the gay community!)
I dont know if ive ever read something as funny as that… :-)

one message young people are getting is that “there’s nothing wrong with those choices.

And BY GOD it’s up to us to instill all the guilt and frustration in them that we so enjoyed as teens!!

So unless you want them to be depressed and/or suicidal, it’s probably good for them to have a support network somewhere, don’t you think?

Now now, let’s be fair: Some of these folks want to execute the gay kids.

It’s a horny, heterosexual male plot! It works like this: once all the gullible males have been converted to homosexuality, the secretly heterosexual cabal members will get all the girls!

So, it’s a win-win, then?

The movie shown in Santa Monica.

Sadly, typical. I live in Ohio and it’s bad sometimes.

That 222 page book has approximately 34 pages about sex and teen pregnancy. At least 10 of them are lists of resources for teen parents. Does this fairly represent the percentage of time teens spend thinking about sex and relationships? If anything it falls short.

Heaven forbid anyone tell teens true facts, such as the fact that teens can get birth control without parental consent in Ohio, and that there are abortion providers within a hundred miles. The book also tells them that the consent of a parent or guardian, or a court order is required for a teenager to have an abortion in Ohio.

Facts. Such terrifying things.

“Last week a private high school in Santa Monica, California, held a “Free Queer Movie Night” that was sponsored by its Gay Straight Alliance club.”

Well, those Crossroads kids are pretty wild, aren’t they.

Thank you madjoey. That non-extraneous comma was bugging me too!
As the parent of a 13-year-old girl, I welcome any and all literature that will open a dialog on something as important as sexuality and sex. Why these idiotic “Moms for Ohio” don’t is clear from their inherent fear that Jimmy might “turn” gay and have to kill himself. Or Ashley might actually consider having sex because she read about it in a science textbook.
I can’t believe the largest school district in the State would bow to the pressure of some warped housewives. Okay I can believe it, but I don’t like it.
