As ken says it was not a book that topic alone. You may be getting the LBB incident confused with the Fistgate incident which was awful. That was eventually acknowledged as wrong.
My point here is not to exonerate GLSEN on everything they have done. Nor is it to say that they are wrong about everything. It is to say that in my experience with MassR, they pick the worst about gays and publicize them as if they are representative of the entire group. THis is unfair and dishonest. I don’t want people doing that to Christians so why would I do it to someone else?

“Gene – They were correct about one thing that I know about – they recorded an inappropriate workshop for teens where fisting was discussed. GLSEN later apologized for that.”
That’s not quite what happened. the workshop was basically a sex-ed class for glbt teens. Fisting was NOT part of the prepared discussion. However, during the question/answer period, one of the teens asked what fisting was and the presenters answered. Personally, from everything I read about the workshop, I don’t think it was inappropriate.

Gene – They were correct about one thing that I know about – they recorded an inappropriate workshop for teens where fisting was discussed. GLSEN later apologized for that.
The Little Black Book was inadvertantly placed on a table at a school event several years ago. I interviewed the GLSEN staffer who said that a health care agency brought them by mistake along with more age appropriate materials. The person in charge of the GLSEN event initially denied they were there because he did not authorize them and did not know they were there. When he learned that another group brought them he apologized and reprimanded the group who brought them.
Mass Resistance uses Paul Cameron’s work and any other person who wants to see gays criminalized. The few things they get right are offset by the venomous rhetoric they hurl at gays daily.
Imagine an anti-Christian group who followed Christians of all kinds around and photographed and recorded every bad thing they did. Then they launch a website revealing these and saying that all Christians are like these examples. They pick any statistics which portray Christians in a bad light and ignore the big picture or the general trend. That would be Mass Resistance, Aftah, etc.

You wrote a piece on Christian Post attacking something Christian Post wrote a day earlier?
Fair does, I wouldn’t expect them to do anything less. That’s not taking your side or their’s (I think you make some very valid points) just being brutally realistic.

Amazing. True, the title was a bit strong, but titles can be easily changed. Editors at publications and newspapers do that all the time. I see nothing in the body of the piece itself to warrant its removal. And to remove accessibility to ALL posts is petulant. I’m not a Mitt Romney fan (If I were a Republican, I’d probably be more inclined to support Jon Huntsman, who also happens to be Mormon), but I think CP did at least answer your question.
