We�ve all heard conservatives complain that the �gay agenda� targets youth. And we�ve all heard liberals reply that that�s just scare mongering. Now we have a conference designed to teach adults in an authority position how to help young kids �realize� they�re gay.

....So in summary, IU will soon host a conference geared toward training adults (presumably mostly homosexuals) to �counsel and help� gay youths, all of which will take place as young Boy Scouts are also on campus for a large conference. Calvo turpis est nihil compto.

Josh, speaking as the Official Mouth Piece for the Gay Agenda (the OMP-gah), I can assure you that there has never been any secret of the fact that we've been targeting youth...who are figuring out their sexuality or who have friends who are. We do this to help people learn, to grow, to not feel alone and to understand that the world is much more varied and nuanced place than some would believe.

We've also actively been actively targeting those who work with youth to understand that they've got gay or questioning kids in their midst. We do this so that, through understanding, we can foster compassion in those workers, as well as giving them the skills and knowledge so that they don't alienate and neglect the populations they are trying to serve.

See, we believe that "family values" is more than just a buzz word, more than just a talking point for fundraising, punditry or for subtle references to an outside, alien army "corrupting" the innocent. Out side of the spin, in the real world, real people are involved -- real adults with questions, real young people with needs and real families trying to do the best they can.

That we can time this to coincide with the Scouts, an organization that, unlike their brethren in the rest of the world, has forgotten that character has little to do with who you date and much to do with how you date them, is just an added bonus.

You see, we like to believe that through education and understanding we can make the world just a bit of a better place. It's a quaint idea, I know, but it's one I've been attracted to, and have worked hard towards, since I was your age.
