'Ex-gays' Now Promote Gay to Straight Clubs, Day of Truth in Schools
Conservative groups are taking a page out of the gay activist playbook in a new effort to promote the "ex-gay" movement.

Liberty Counsel and Parents & Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays have launched a new campaign called "Change Is Possible," which mimics the effort by gay rights advocates to create student clubs and participate in school-sponsored "diversity days."

Instead of gay-straight alliances, the "Change Is Possible" campaign urges students to start "Gay to Straight" clubs.

The Alliance Defense Fund has even sponsored a "Day of Truth" to counteract the "Day of Silence," a day when students remain silent to protest harassment and discrimination targeted at gay students. The "Day of Truth" —scheduled for April 27, one day after the "Day of Silence"—was "established to counter the promotion of the homosexual agenda and express an opposing viewpoint from a Christian perspective."

While they are at it, why not an "Earth is Flat Day" or an "Illness is Cause by Miasma" health curriculum? Geez, most of these fundies are so fucking stupid I'm amazed they don't have to have people remind them to breathe.

3. I am a dark-complexioned, brown-eyed brunette ...
... will there be any "Dark-Skinned to Blonde & Blue-Eyed Days" in my area?

If that's successful, I'm happy to sign up for the "Flat-Chested to Full-Bosomed" seminars as well.

4. Let them in
If we get our club they should get theirs. I don't agree with them but they have rights.

6. So you would have no problem with a "white power" club in high schools?
What about a youth chapter of the KKK or National Socialists (aka the American Nazis)?

Groups that exist to discriminate against, belittle or otherwise put down other groups should not be allowed in high schools.

11. actually I don't see why not if it is not during school hours
Fortunately there wouldn't be such a club due to lack of membership.

7. We have a playbook? Hell, I'm still waiting for my copy of the Agenda
So, will the parents who are all up in arms about mentioning the word gay in front of their kids haul their asses down to the school board to protest these clubs being formed in school?

9. It's not possible
To start a club that lacks any members.

How would a "gay to straight" club get off the ground?

Answer: it wouldn't.

If this is the best they can do, they're sceeeeeerewed.

10. We need people with cameras to follow these "converted" gays
as they go to gay bars/businesses with their significant others.

Normally I wouldn't advocate spy actions....but these assholes need to be publicly exposed as the frauds they are.

They only fuel the hate of the right wing fundamentalist un-christian conservatives.

12. Oh no, we can't have such clubs in schools!
Such clubs are all about sex! And as such, they cannot be permitted in schools. Uh uh, no way. x(
