HOMOSEXUAL YOUTH EVENT IN THE GAY STATE
LifeSite reports:
The now annual Massachusetts Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Youth Parade was highlighted this year by fully sanctioned participation by a variety of school groups. Children encouraged to display homosexual acts on camera to be posted to the group's website, a gay prom at Boston City Hall and the distribution a variety of information pamphlets homosexualizing Christianity....
At one point during the event, a guest speaker incited the crowd to violently harass photographers from "Mass Resistance", the pro-family action group. The photographers were surrounded, barred from taking pictures and then assaulted as a Boston police officer in uniform stood by and watched.
The event was funded by taxpayer money according to Brian Camenaker:
Brian Camenker, head of the Massachusetts based pro-family group MassResistance, says the homosexual youth rally was organized using taxpayer money. "And it was run by the state-funded organization called the Massachusetts Commission on Gay\Lesbian\Bi-sexual and Transgender Youth – which was created by the legislature and uses hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money," Camenker contends.
The MassResistence website notes a curious double standard in Massachusetts law enforcement:
Massachusetts has a strict law that requires a state CORI (criminal offender record information) investigation of any adult volunteering for activities involving minors. A mother who wants to volunteer at her child's high school will be told she needs a CORI check. A Little League coach in Massachusetts needs a CORI check....
But there's one "unofficial" exception. Homosexual activists working with schoolchildren seem to get a free pass. They have never to our knowledge been required to get a CORI check.
And the worst situation is the annual "Youth Pride Day" and the "Transgender Prom" that evening. The homosexual groups openly advertise on their websites for adult "volunteers" for this event. As we've pretty well documented, some very depraved-looking people show up, volunteer, and freely mingle with the kids. And as we've reported, at least one former member of the Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, Bill Conley, has been arrested for soliciting oral sex from students.
Pictures from the 2006 parade event are posted on the MassResistance website.
Americans for Truth offers a more detailed description of the event and the handouts distributed, including:
“History of Saints Servius and Bacchus”, handed out by a man dressed as a Catholic priest, claiming that these two Catholic saints were actually homosexual lovers.
“Catholic Theological Defense of Same-sex Marriage” pamphlet which states that there is “no moral right to declare marriage off limits to persons whom God has made gay” and that the Pope “is definitely wrong and he will be corrected some day by one of his successors.” (Also handed out by the aforementioned “priest”.)
“Reading the Bible with New Eyes” - a pamphlet that portrays Jesus as having had a homosexual affair with Lazarus and Mary as a lesbian. It also describes the Book of Acts as “defining a lesbian and gay ‘nation.’” It also states that Jesus “was a functional, if not physical, eunuch.”
“Queer Spirituality” A booklet from a “church” describing how homosexuality is a spiritual experience that “opens us up to God.”
Boston Pride Week is scheduled for June 6-15, 2008
