Bob, << You may know a few gays but that does not mean you would be familiar with the goals of the militants>> There are militants in every walk of life. Are you to be judged by the militants of the white racist community? The militants of the Sierra Club,or Greenpeace? Or are you to be judged of the militancy of the far right? If not, why not? Militants are just that, militants. Not the mainstream, but those that fall outside of the mainstream bt the extremity of their beliefs. <<And why is it the gay movement is trying to work through the educational system to promote homosexuality among school children by desensitizing them to the depravity of it. Books like Sally has two mommies and someone else has two daddies. They want to make converts. They say be open to it because you might be gay to our children. They want to convince every confused young person that they are and add to their numbers. They are after our children.>> You are making value judgements. You are not the definer of depravity, nor am I. You are saying on one hand that you know the inner desires or causes of militant gays, but also say that a straight person wont be let in on their secrets. You cant have it both ways, either you dont know, or are gay.(that assumption is made by the criteria that you have supplied) The idea behind books like that is not to "convert" children, but to teach them tolerance. There are plenty of people that are born gay. The gay community doesnt need to cnvert young children. the people that I know would find that reprehensible. <<. By definition any pedophile who molests a boy is a homosexual. >> A woman who molests aboy is not a homosexual, neither is a man who molest a young girl. Mark
