OK-are you in the mood? "Christian" site posts article about "anti-gay bullying" group
...That was obviously intended to be a slur against the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN).I plan on thanking them for posting this article and putting the welfare of gay teens ahead of politics... ;)

Major ‘anti-gay bullying’ group tied to Obama admin awarded five-year government grant


WASHINGTON, D.C., August 5, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A top anti “gay bullying” organization has been awarded a long-term grant to to establish “safe spaces” in public schools across America days after the group’s founder left the Obama administration.

The Division of Adolescent and School Health of the U.S. government’s Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has awarded a five-year, $285,000 a year grant to the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), the gay rights group announced in June as reported by World Net Daily.

GLSEN’s founder is former Obama administration “Safe Schools” Czar Kevin Jennings, who resigned only days before the announced grant to head Be the Change, another national gay rights initiative. Jennings came under major fire from conservative groups and lawmakers for his participation in GLSEN’s lewd youth programs, including explanations of dangerous homosexual sex acts such as “fisting.”

GLSEN in April was involved in a Facebook scandal involving its homosexual school clubs, or Gay Straight Alliances (GSA). A pro-family group recently revealed that the GSA Facebook page linked to numerous explicit homosexual sex hook-up sites, some featuring apparently middle-school-age boys. GLSEN reportedly removed the page hours after it drew media attention.

On its website, GLSEN states that it aims to implement the “safe spaces” program, which educates against “anti-LGBT bias,” in “every middle and high school in the country.”

1. LOTS of shape-shifting going on. KNOW whom you are working with!
Hold them accountable and allow them to hold you accountable - IF you know enough about each other.

Things are getting increasingly dicey.

"Faith"-Based implementation is all through anything "new" that is "on the table".
