At what point in time did being straight become wrong somehow? because this is the message they seem to be sending kids.

[taradinoc]

No, they're not saying anything like that. I have no idea how you could interpret it that way.

[messianictorah]

I went to Rogers and you must not be very old if you think fat and poor kids don't get bullied, they have been bullied probably as long as school has been around. Sammy - You weren't reading it correctly. My comment was the poster wasn't just about bullying. If it was it would include all people. That is how it was presented but they should have included all groups not just sexual orientation. Is it OK to bully others only not gays. I don't think so. Bullying is a problem, then address the whole

[taradinoc]

Again:

1. The posters *aren't* just about sexual orientation. They also mention race, religion, ethnicity, and disability. (But you wouldn't have known that just from watching this KREM segment, would you?)

2. Fat and poor kids get teased; gay kids get beaten. There's a difference.

OMG! The children might find out that "lesbian," "gay" & "queer" aren't bad words!

The only thing offensive about the poster was the "your" when it should've been "you're."

actualy i dont really hear fat jokes or poor jokes, mostly gay jokes. in 1 of my classes my teacher yells at me and my girlfriend for just putting a hand on each others leg. but hetrosexual couples never get yelled at. kids say fags, gays, dykes, carpet lickers, carpet diggers, and lots of other slang for gay hate. i dont really pay attention but it just gets overwelming sometimes walking down the hall way. i wish i wouldnt have come out.

What conservatives think the gay agenda is about: destroying christianity, converting kids, destroying their freedoms(somehow...they never explain that last one)

The real gay agenda: stop bullying against the LGBT community, gain equal rights for protection under marriage laws, the right to serve in the armed forces, and to adopt children abandoned by straight parents.

[Cindercheth]

OMG THE GAY AGENDA!! Run! Those gays want to nom on your soul and make you gay too! Acceptance and tolerance is a breeding ground for homosexuality! Don't be deceived!

Okay, sarcasm aside: so what if kids see it and ask their parents about it? Then those parents just might have to explain things to their children, and do their parental duties. The horror :/

On the other hand, though... many of those parents might be pretty hateful themselves... so not sure if that is a good thing or not. :/

@imopman That is their end goal my friend. The very first homosexual actvisits where no just pederasts, but were also Communist/Marxists. Their ideologies have been carried through the generations through brainwashing and indoctrination

[owlsinthecityx]

@imopman

It's just that being homophobic is wrong. I don't know where you're getting "being straight is wrong," from.

[Toestubber]

Yeah, the poster-makers should've been fired for teaching kids horrible grammar. Seriously, that made it to press? Did any of those "educators" take an English course?

[GeneticIdentity101]

You people are completely out of your fucking minds.

If these posters simply said "accept diversity" or just praised affirmative action you people would applaud and praise the effort!

But as soon as the word gay is thrown onto it, it's a tragedy.

"Equal rights for all" you say... All but artists, faggots and the poor more like. Yanks really need to re-examine their priorities...

[storageheater]

God. This would be shown as a satire in the UK - how can anyone take it seriously? There's Brass Eye clips about 'good AIDS and bad AIDS' and 'Paedogeddon' which have such similar tones...
