Focus on the Family: "Anti-Bullying efforts are Gay Conspiracy"
Yes, they really said that. The stupid is coming in fast and furious over the last few days:

http://gawker.com/5626199/anti+bullying-policies-are-a-gay-conspiracy-says-mega-church

Ultra-conservative Christian mega business ministry Focus on the Family wants all these gay people to stop talking about child bullying, because they're pushing a secret agenda to turn America's kids into homosexuals, and that is not what Jesus intended.

The church's "education expert" Candi Cushman told The Denver Post that the gays have infiltrated the public discourse on bullying in America, and this just isn't fair to God-fearing Christians: "We feel more and more that activists are being deceptive in using anti-bullying rhetoric to introduce their viewpoints, while the viewpoint of Christian students and parents are increasingly belittled." And while Cushman believes in bullying prevention, she says, "this issue is being hijacked by activists. They shouldn't be politicizing or sexualizing the issue of bully prevention."

Focus on the Family was founded in the 70's by Dr. James C. Dobson, who once offered these tips on raising a fine young American boy: Meanwhile, the boy's father has to do his part. He needs to mirror and affirm his son's maleness. He can play rough-and-tumble games with his son, in ways that are decidedly different from the games he would play with a little girl. He can help his son learn to throw and catch a ball. He can teach him to pound a square wooden peg into a square hole in a pegboard. He can even take his son with him into the shower, where the boy cannot help but notice that Dad has a penis, just like his, only bigger.

5. Okay, so DADT isn't necessary then. NOBODY who can make it through basic is going to get bullied.
So OBVIOUSLY they can't be gay, right?
