Tammy Bruce comes out swinging in a bold fisking of the concept of a public, i.e. paid for with taxpayer dollars, school catering exclusively to gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered students.
I've been skeptical of the gay agenda for a long time with respect to how it treats our youth. I agree with Tammy Bruce, how can a teenager know incontrovertibly that they are gay? There is so much going on in their lives, many sources of anxiety. I know, I went through it too, a lot of pain, a lot of self doubt. I think that the mind is a very powerful thing, and what we do with it regarding our initial sexual experiences can shape us in very powerful ways. It is not good for kids to be encouraged to experiment with homosexuality, or any other sexual activity for that matter.
There is a Proverb which I'll quote out-of-context by itself, but I believe it is absolutely true in all we think about: "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he" Prov. 23:7. If you think you can't control yourself, you're right, but if you think God can make a difference in your life, and are willing to give your life to God, you're right and wise at the same time.
There are two things I'd like to address to the people who say it's not a choice: that we're born the way we are:
1) We're all born sinners, but that doesn't make it acceptable to God,
2) God isn't limited by how we are born. Jesus healed a man born blind, He can heal every shortcoming we offer to Him.
