Fundies: "Homosexuals immune to Massachusetts budget cuts"

Homosexuals immune to Mass. budget cuts
Pete Chagnon - OneNewsNow - 1/8/2009 9:00:00 AM


A pro-family advocate says budget cuts are coming for Massachusetts schools, but programs aimed at promoting homosexuality need not worry.

Many states across the U.S. are facing budget deficits, and Massachusetts is not immune. Governor Deval Patrick and state lawmakers have already slashed millions from the budget, but more cuts are on the way.

Brian Camenker of MassResistance says more than 1,000 state jobs as well as public school funding have been cut, while mental health facilities have also been closed. However, pro-homosexual programs in Massachusetts' public schools have remained.

According to Camenker, the governor and the legislature are "very tight" with the homosexual lobby. "Very publicly, I might add, as anyone I've ever seen. The governor marches in the gay pride parades," he points out. "Anything they want, they get."

A large sum of money -- $850,000 -- that is allotted for these pro-homosexual school programs is being questioned. "And that has been untouchable," Camenker contends. "I have spoken with (the) Senate president's office; I've spoken with the governor's office. I've spoken with the governor's budget office -- and you know, they all support it, and that's that."

Camenker notes that $150,000 of the $850,000 was cut. But upon further investigation, he found that the $150,000 was being funneled back in through the Department of Public Health. MassResistance plans to organize thousands of concerned citizens to converge on the legislature and demand that this "outrage" stop.

1. What's a "pro-homosexual" school program?
That's where I'd need to start with this one. Is it a safe-sex program? Is that why Public Health can pick up the cuts?

4. It could be almost anything, as far as these people are concerned.
My guess would be primary math. You can't teach those first graders that 1 + 1 = 2, without them thinking that those "1"'s might be the same gender.

5. You really can't. They have too much of their own identity invested in this nonsense.
Zealotry is one hell of a drug.
