In my last blog post I said that there is nothing that ever surprises me. Well I now stand corrected....sit corrected but you get my point. A Massachusetts school has rescinded its admission offer to a young boy because his parents are lesbians. Now it's one thing to discriminate against the LGBT community, but when it affects young children it's totally uncalled for.
The parents in this particular case had already gone through orientation and open house with the school. They did not try to hide the fact about their sexuality from the school. The school knew about it the whole time and did not say anything until they had a conference call with the parents rescinding the offer. The school claims to have come to the decision because the parents' sexuality does not agree with the Roman Catholic teachings.
Children should not be denied an education just based solely on their parents' sexuality. It is not the children's fault so why should they be punished for something that is out of their control. Discrimination against the LGBT community is something we are used to. Discrimination against children is something that should not happen, they are innocent. The children deserve to have the same opportunities provided to them as those of children whose parents are heterosexuals.
Some day I hope to see religions come to realize that their higher power does not want them to hate others. God, no matter what religion you are, does not teach hate. There may be a few out there, like Satanism, but for the most part it is true. God wants us to love, not hate. More people would believe and participate in religion if people would realize this. I hope to see more acceptance in my lifetime. I know it's a slow treacherous road, but I am willing to walk that road.....are you?

George Rekers and His Gay Massage Boy
In this day and age, nothing seems to amaze me. Not even when someone who is anti-gay doing something some would call “so gay” So when I read the story of George Rekers, I was half expecting it. If not from him, then from some other anti-gay person.
For those of you who don’t know who George Rekers is, I will tell you a little bit about him. He was one of the founding members of Family Research Council, a conservative Christian right group that lobbies against homosexuality. He is also an officer of NARTH (National Association of Research & Therapy of Homosexuality). This organization is formerly known as the National Association of Research & Treatment of Homosexuality. It offers conversion therapy and other regimens to change the sexual preference of person.
Now for someone with that kind of background, we would normally expect them to nice upstanding citizens. Well this “upstanding citizen” found it necessary to contact an escort service and hire a gay escort to go on a 10 day vacation in Europe. Now the escort was supposedly hired to carry Rekers’ luggage and administer a nude massage everyday to Rekers. This daily nude massage included a move called the “long stroke”! Now now now, get your minds out of the gutters people. The “long stroke” is a move the escort says “is a complicated caress across the penis, thigh…and his anus over the buttocks”. Apparently Rekers liked to be rubbed down there.
Ok, I know what your saying…that’s this guy is gayer than a $2 bill. But he professes he is not homosexual. He is a southern Baptist minister that was only taking the gay escort with him to show him the true path to god and to attempt to convert him. We have all heard stories about conversion therapy, most of which are not so nice. Since when does talking to someone about how god can make then see the light require you to get a nude massage…..a nude massage that requires the masseuse to caress their thighs, penis and butt. Give me a break already.
This guy is so in the closet and hates himself for it. That is the reason I think he is so anti-gay. He hates himself so much that he wants to rid the world of what he truly is. All because some idiot told him that what he is, is a sin and abomination against god. What he needs to realize is that is just not true. Being gay is okay and we should not try to force people to change who they are. We are who we are for a reason, and that reason is for the creator to decide. It is not up to some homophobic, conservative southern Baptist bigot to decide.
