On ABC’s Nightline, a homosexual filmmaker said the way to stop anti-homosexual crime is to dis- card “outmoded” notions of sexual iden- tity. He wants to start in the schools, where all “dysfunctional” identities will be rooted out. This is a good thing! If trying to turn our children into homo- sexuals doesn’t wake us up, nothing will.
