HATEFUL - 'Ex-Gay' Flyer Sent Home To Maryland Students




Parents of students attending Albert Einstein High School in Montgomery County, Md. are upset after some high schoolers were sent home with flyers claiming nobody is "born gay," My Fox DC reports.

The flyer, which came from a group called Parents And Friends Of Ex-Gays And Gays (PFOX), states that everyone can choose their own sexuality.

Social worker Karen Yount-Merrell told My Fox DC she was outraged when her son brought the flyer home from school.

"I don't like it," Yount-Merrell told the station. "Everything in this flyer makes it sound like the goal is to be (an) EX-gay, (or an EX)-lesbian. It is not embracing of a different orientation. It reiterates a societal view that there's something 'wrong' with you, if you're not in the norm. If you aren't heterosexual."

3. They are, they are really pitiful demonic people. n/t

2. They thrive on hatred! If they didn't have the gays it would be something else they

would choose to focus their hatred on ...

4. Yep.

"Gay" is their new "Black", "Asian", "Indian" or "Jewish".

[RKP5637]

5. Yep, and the Phelps Family has a portfiolo of hatred they focus on ... leaving no

avenue of hatred not profiteered.

6. Disgusting. That's all I have to say.

7. K&R

The haters have already lost this battle. Why do they insist on spewing more hatred when they've been proven wrong time and time again.

I know, I know . . .

9. Trust me, if being gay were a choice I'd have tried it by now-

It seems generally less frustrating than being a hetero- but I won't bore you with a misogynistic rant...

Incidentally, there's no gene that makes you like science fiction or heavy metal music either. And yet I liked them growing up, in spite of all the crap the humans gave me for it. The point is it's all taste.

10. Marriage Equality is up for a vote in MD this year

that is my guess, why this is being passed out.
