Fundies want to pass out "The Advocate" in schools!
No, not that one. It's a fundamentalist nonsense pro mass of cells article.

Not posting a ink because they always RickRoll any links from here. Onenewsnow.com.

Still, imagine what the publkkklans would do if their "enemies" were to promote a mag with the same name as a fag rag? I wish somehow we could use their fear tactics the same way they do. Fox noise would be all over the "indoctrination" nonsense.

1. I like to think we're a bit above those tactics...
If we wanted to we could paint the picture of teen GLBTQ suicide rates. That would scare sense back into parents. Almost anyone would rather a non-straight child to a dead one.

2. Sadly, I think you give the bigots far to much credit with that last statement.

4. I would think a vast majority of Americans COULD sympathize

You'd need to start with mothers. Convince mothers and you win. Get them to feel for child suicide first, then tell them it was because they were gay, but only after they feel for the child. Couldn't hurt.

6. You make a good point.
I think it would help to open some eyes to the realities and get them to care.
