Of course, any attempt to stop bullying in schools is just another way to promote homosexuality

"Christian Group Finds Gay Agenda in an Anti-Bullying Day

On Mix It Up at Lunch Day, schoolchildren around the country are encouraged to hang out with someone they normally might not speak to.

The program, started 11 years ago by the Southern Poverty Law Center and now in more than 2,500 schools, was intended as a way to break up cliques and prevent bullying.

But this year, the American Family Association, a conservative evangelical group, has called the project “a nationwide push to promote the homosexual lifestyle in public schools” and is urging parents to keep their children home from school on Oct. 30, the day most of the schools plan to participate this year.

*SNIP*

The swirl around Mix It Up at Lunch Day reflects a deeper battle between the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil-rights group founded 41 years ago in Montgomery, Ala., and the American Family Association, a Bible-based cultural watchdog organization in Tupelo, Miss. The association says its mission is to fight what it calls the “increasing ungodliness” in America.

“The reality is [the American Family Association is] not a hate group. We are a truth group,” said Bryan Fischer, director of issue analysis for the association. “We tell the truth about homosexual behavior.”

This has got to be embarrassing to the rest of Christianity doesn't it? Or do others just accept it as part of the great Christian diversity?

The way conservative Christians routinely fight anti-bullying initiatives, one would almost think they believe the physical and psychological abuse of misfits and outsiders is a good thing. It's almost as if they're authoritarians or something...

what I find interesting is that they are saying it took them 11 years to figure out that this day is all about homosexuality.

Really on the ball that American family Association...
As hate groups go, they really are not much different from the KKK.

Dead scary! I honestly don't think that we have christian groups like that in England.... well.....they don't come out of the woodwork, anyway. But it's not just 'some christians' that are so homo-phobic. This kind of phobia seems to run through so many religions like a contagious epidemic, as a part of their creeds or dogmas.

Even more recent faiths like the bahais discriminate against homosexuals.

Even people of no faiths can do it.

The most vocal opponents of homosexuality I've encountered have been irreligious people. There was also a bit of drama about my kid's school having a gay man there. "Homosexuals shouldn't be around kids" was the general reasoning, usually because it will either make them gay or because of concerns about paedophilia. facepalm: Although this seems to be a common concern of men in schools, unfortunately.)

It was my wife and me (both religious individuals) who vocally supported his right to be there and criticised them for being ignorant.

It's just people. People genuinely suck; they always want to hate on someone.
