PFOX Spokesman: Despite Its Denials, PTA Does Promote Homosexual Agenda
(AgapePress) - A prominent mental health counselor is criticizing the new president of the National Parent Teacher Association over her recent justification of the PTA's decision to allow a homosexual activist group to present a workshop at its national convention last summer, yet deny exhibit space to an "ex-gay" group.

In a recent interview with the AFA Journal, new PTA president Anna Marie Weselak said the group Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays (PFOX) was rejected because its agenda was not "appropriate to bring to parents and, in turn, to provide for children." According to Weselak, the group Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) was invited to the convention to inform parents on the topic of bullying.

"We just did not feel that what was bringing to us was best for our parents to take back to provide meaningful opportunities for children," the PTA leader stated during the interview. " presence there was to help educate and inform parents on the topic of bullying in order to help make their children safer in schools."

Grove City College professor Dr. Warren Throckmorton, a spokesman for PFOX, believes Weselak is engaging in doublespeak. "She said that the PFLAG presence there was to help educate and inform parents on the topic of bullying," Throckmorton says, "and yet that's all PFOX wanted to do as well, but they wanted to do it from their particular perspective."

2. ex-gay?
I don't believe there is such a thing!!

There could be people who are not now acting on those homosexual urges but that doesn't mean they won't in the future!

I'm really opposed to the idea of being ex-gay.........hey, either you are or you aren't, right?

Btw, way to go PTA!! Who would've guessed they're so enlightened?

10. How can they promote the "ex-gay" agenda? It's simply a lifestyle
choice that they want to shove down all of our throats. Next thing you know, they'll keep hammering for specials rights, and trying to worm their way into our schools to infect the impressional minds of our young children to convince them that their disgusting lifestyle choice is 'normal'.

Quick, someone send me donations, so we can boycott companies that support these activist groups. And yes, the size of your donation DOES count!
