another setback for the homosexual agenda

[rone]

A federal judge on Thursday blocked a county school system from instituting a health curriculum that includes discussions of homosexuality.

U.S. District Judge Alexander Williams agreed with two groups that sued contending such discussions gave preference of religions that are tolerant of homosexuality over those that reject it.

Religions that are tolerant of homosexuality... like, what, Buddhism?  I love how fundamentalist Christian groups are using freedom of religion as a mallet in their fight against gays, as well as in their push to establish Creationism as a legitimate science.  "Your message of tolerance oppresses my religious right to hate fags and evolution!  Filthy hippays!"

In this case, Defendants [Montgomery Co. Schools] open up the classroom to the subject of homosexuality, and specifically, the moral rightness of the homosexual lifestyle. However, the Revised Curriculum presents only one view on the subject - that homosexuality is a natural and morally correct lifestyle - to the exclusion of other perspectives...

This insane trend that you may teach something only if you also include any and all opposing viewpoints must be stamped out.  Seriously, what's the next step?  Teaching Alexander Abian's "Equivalence of Mass and Time" as part of any quantum mechanics class?

He did say "fundamentalist Christian", though. Are any of those churches (I've never heard of most of them before, being from Sweden) fundamentalist?

He asked, "like, what, Buddhism?"

Actually, though, the Disciples of Christ and the A.M.E. churches are pretty heavily fundy. I'm not familiar with CMEC or ICCC but I have to guess they are, too. The rest have generally mainstream liberal theology.

Now, I have friends who left A.M.E. Zion over this issue, so just how tolerant each of these churches really is is still a valid question, but I think it's significant that such a broad group joined in this statement.
