Evidence that the New York Times promotes the homosexual agenda.. ..................[7] [8] [9] Accuracy in Media quotes a report by Peter LaBarbera stating that Richard Berke, the national political correspondent for the New York Times, made an appearance on behalf of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association and revealed that three-quarters of the people who now decide what goes on the front page of the New York Times are "not so closeted homosexuals." [10] In addition, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) gave the New York Times an award for "Outstanding Newspaper Overall Coverage". [11] Accuracy in Media gives an account of an official of the group the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation "advising the press not to cover former homosexuals because it would be comparable to quoting the Ku Klux Klan about civil rights." [12] In addition, according to Accuracy in Media the New York Times sent a recruiter to a National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association convention in order to recruit homosexuals as journalists.

Washington Post tells kids homosexuality is fine ......................................................................................... Robert Knight 7/16/2008 onenewsnow.com Throwing aside even a pretense of fairness, The Washington Post openly promoted homosexuality to teens in a front page article on Monday about a 15-year-old boy "coming out" to embrace his "gay identity." The Post included a video about the boy, Saro Harvey. Post reporter Theresa Vargas's article, "Owning His Gay Identity – at 15 Years Old," was an entirely one-sided advertisement for more school "anti-bullying" policies, which often evolve into pro-homosexual re-education campaigns. Vargas chose to cite two pro-homosexual organizations GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network) and PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays). She failed, however, to include any statements from experts who oppose the encouragement of homosexuality among the young. She also ignored the many recent alarming health reports about soaring sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS, among young gay men. Vargas pulled out all the stops, even repeating the gay-activist-created myth that Wyoming college student Matthew Shepard "was killed for being gay." Shepard, as revealed in an ABC News investigation on 20/20 on Nov. 26, 2004, was tied to a fence and left to die after a drug deal turned into a robbery in 1998. The assailants, who were convicted of murder and given life terms, picked out Shepard not to make a savage point about hating gays but because he was carrying cash and looked like an easy mark. Nonetheless, the media have continued to follow the "killed for being gay" script written for them by homosexual activists who flooded into Wyoming and made Matthew the martyr for their cause. Vargas also cited the case of Lawrence "Larry" King, an Oxnard, Calif. eighth-grader, who "wore purple eye shadow and high heel boots." Despite the existence of anti-bullying policies that include "sexual orientation," King was shot on Feb. 12, 2008, by a boy who had been taunted by other teens because Larry had openly flirted with him and asked him to be his valentine. Vargas notes that: "The 14-year-old that [Larry] had considered a possible valentine is charged with his death." The Washington Post article leaves the impression that Saro Harvey was born gay/trans and that anyone who suggests otherwise is a candidate for a re-education session in one of the "diversity and tolerance" clinics that often accompany anti-bullying programs. The article does quote Saro's father, James Harvey, who Vargas says "struggles to grasp what 'triggered' Saro's interest in the same sex. Had his son been molested? He questioned. Could this be just a phase?" Vargas does not inquire any further into the possible origins of Saro's same-sex attractions nor examine the boy's relationship with his father.

NY Times Teams Up With Gay Groups to Promote Teens 'Coming Out' ..................................................................................................... By Clay Waters \| May 24, 2011 newsbusters.org So much for objective journalism; in recent weeks the New York Times has embraced gay advocacy. The May 16 front page carried a complimentary profile by Dan Barry (normally the "This Land" columnist for the paper) of Rick Welts, president of the NBA’s Phoenix Suns, coming out as a gay man, " Going Public, N.B.A. Figure Sheds Shadow Life." "This is one of the last industries where the subject is off limits," said Mr. Welts, who stands now as a true rarity, a man prominently employed in professional men’s team sports, willing to declare his homosexuality. "Nobody’s comfortable in engaging in a conversation." On May 8, reporter John Branch praised NHL "enforcer" Sean Avery of the New York Rangers under the headline " In Rarity, a Player Speaks Out for Gay Rights." Not such a rarity apparently, given that Branch followed up on May 14 with " Two Straight Athletes Combat Homophobia." The front of the May 17 Metro section was dominated by former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey, who resigned and outed himself in a memorable press conference in 2004: " Out of Politics and Closet, McGreevey Pursues Dream to Join Clergy." The trend culminated with the paper’s online multi-media feature "Coming Out," datelined Monday. Sarah Kramer introduced it with a post " Gay Teenagers, in Their Own Words," a placeholder for a selection of 30 stories from "L.G.B.T. youth," with more to come. Kramer’s story was pure advocacy with not a dash of skepticism or disagreement. The suicide of Tyler Clementi, a Rutgers University freshman who jumped from the George Washington Bridge last year after discovering that his roommate had secretly streamed his romantic interlude with another man on the Internet, captured worldwide attention. In the wake of his death, stories of gay youths being bullied and taking their own lives proliferated. The subsequent outpouring of concern from parents, educators and those who had survived bullying themselves inspired "It Gets Better," a campaign led by the columnist and author Dan Savage in which thousands of lesbian and gay adults shared their stories to assure all teenagers that society has a place for them. Popular culture has reinforced this message of acceptance. For example, the hit TV show "Glee" has had three storylines involving gay teenagers this season, including the matter-of-fact courtship, with rare onscreen same-sex kissing, of characters played by Chris Colfer and Darren Criss. Lady Gaga has countered the antigay rhetoric that many young people hear in their churches and communities with the song "Born This Way," increasing her already large fan base among gay and lesbian teenagers. Where did the Times get its subjects? Gay rights groups. The New York Times embarked on the project "Coming Out" as an effort to better understand this generation’s realities and expectations, and to give teenagers their own voice in the conversation. The Times spoke with or e-mailed nearly 100 gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender teenagers from all of parts of the country -- from rural areas to urban centers, from supportive environments to hostile ones. The newspaper contacted them through various advocacy groups, as well as through social networking sites like YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. One of those groups is The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, which supported the project with a Monday post full of helpful links back to the New York Times, even praising the paper’s sympathetic phrasing: GLAAD encourages LGBT teenagers to participate in "Coming Out" and make their voices heard. You can submit your story here. You may want to refer to GLAAD’s Media Essentials Guide as you craft your story for the media. This important project, in conjunction with organizations like the Trevor Project and It Gets Better, can help foster understanding and support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender teenagers who, as the Times points out, "just want to be teenagers."

Kindergarten. California Gov Signs Landmark Law to Teach Gay History Published July 14, 2011 \| FoxNews.com California has become the first state in the nation to require public schools to add lessons about gay history to social studies classes, after Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signed the landmark bill on Thursday. The Democratic-majority Legislature passed the bill last week on a largely party-line vote. The bill has drawn criticism from some churches and conservative groups that argue such instruction would expose students to a subject that some parents find objectionable. July 5: Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles, the first openly gay Speaker of the California State Assembly, urged lawmakers to approve a measure requiring public schools to teach the historical contributions of gay Americans, in Sacramento, CA. July 5: Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Twin Peaks, called on lawmakers to reject a measure requiring public schools to teach the historical contributions of gay Americans, at the Assembly in Sacramento, CA. Related Video Does Gay History Belong in U.S. Classrooms? Landmark California law up for debate Democratic state Sen. Mark Leno of San Francisco, the bill's author, has said that teaching gay history in public schools will teach students to be more accepting of gays and lesbians. The state will now draw up guidelines for the districts, and educators will decide who deserves inclusion in the curriculum. Supporters suggest slain San Francisco politician Harvey Milk would be an appropriate choice. Leno contends Milk's fight for civil rights is as worthy of class study as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s. He adds this kind of "inclusive curriculum" will help protect students who may look, or act, differently. But critics don't buy the anti-bullying argument, and say SB 48 hijacks history class to promote a gay agenda. "In the past, history taught about what people did, what they accomplished," says Brad Dacus, head of the Pacific Justice Institute. "It didn't focus on their sexuality and what they did in the bedroom. Yet that is what this legislation will impose on every public school in the state of California dealing with heterosexuality, homosexual role models, transgender role models, all the way down to the kindergarten level." Dacus adds, "It's California tax dollars from parents who are paying for this kind of indoctrination that's being put into public schools. That demeans them, their family, and their relationships." Leno says it's the same criticism voiced years ago when schools embraced ethnic and women's studies. "We should not be afraid to teach our children of the broad diversity of human experience," he says. "It's not going away, it's always been with us. We have different kinds of people, who are, under law, to be treated equally. Why would we not want to teach our children this?" He says inclusive education is as important as the 3R's. "This all goes together." But critics worry parents who object to this curriculum will be labeled intolerant, and that kids will start thinking about sexuality and gender identity at a very young age.
