California Catholic: “Sin-ta-Lating”

Gay Straight Alliance clubs say they want to help students overcome “homophobia,” but their public events suggest they have something else in mind

The Gay Straight Alliance, which has clubs on high school campuses across California, says it works to “create safe environments in schools for students to support each other and learn about homophobia and other oppressions; educate the school community about homophobia, gender identity, and sexual orientation issues; and fight discrimination, harassment, and violence in schools.” Yet the organization may be far more “campy” than these goals suggest.

For instance, the May 9 GSA Network News advertised a May 10 San Francisco event, “Gender Pirates with Fresh Meat!” -- a fundraiser for the fourth annual Trans March in San Francisco (June 22).

We are living in perverse times - sexual deviance is lauded as a good and we permit the murder of the most innocent among us. We should be setting a good example of upright and moral living, instead we are wallowing in sin and suffering under own self inflicted iniquity.
