Dear Evangelicals of Anoka,

Be not afraid.  There is no radical homosexual agenda.

If homosexuals have any agenda at all, it is that they be able to live their lives without being taunted, beaten up or killed.

If your child is naturally heterosexual, if he or she is attracted to the opposite sex, there is no danger that your child will be influenced to "try it out."  Homosexuality will simply not appeal to your child.  There is no such thing as recruitment.

If your child is naturally homosexual, there is absolutely nothing you can do to change that, except perhaps to make your child miserable by trying to change him or her.  If your child is homosexual, he or she will seek other homosexuals out.  That's right.  That's a fact.  Your child will not be a victim of an evil influence.

If I may be permitted to use your own language, God made homosexuals, too.

You are afraid that allowing the teachers in public schools speak of homosexuality as "normal" will convince your straight children to try homosexual behavior.  It will not turn straight children into gay children.

Let's talk about the word "normal."  If a teacher says that homosexuality is normal, what the teacher means is that there are a certain number of people for whom attraction to the same sex is natural.  I think that what you are afraid of is that these teachers are saying is that everyone should try homosexuality, because it's natural for everyone.  It's not natural for heterosexuals, so that's one thing you don't need to worry about.

I am a straight man, and I have never been sexually attracted to any man.  None of the many homosexual friends I have known has ever made a pass at me, because they just know from my behavior that I'm not interested.

I know that you must be afraid of the Gay Straight Alliance organizations in your children's school.  But the GSA is not there to spread homosexuality.  The GSA is there because there are straight kids who care enough about their neighbors to help them get past the bullying without killing themselves.
