The Democrat homosexual trojan horse that is the Student Non-Discrimination Act

protected/

For a movement that prides itself on equality, too many gay, lesbian,
bisexual and transgender (GLBT) advocacy groups and their congressional
supporters are surprisingly consistent in their promotion of special
rights for GLBT people. Pro-GLBT inequality apparently is acceptable, even
if other kinds are not.

We have seen this before - with “hate crimes” legislation, for example,
and more recently in the significant increase in taxpayer money
specifically designated to benefit GLBT causes. Last year, the Gay,
Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) received $285,000 from the
federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to increase the number
of schools establishing “safe spaces” for GLBT students.

The reintroduction of the Student Non-Discrimination Act (SNDA) is yet
another indication of where this movement is headed. It is certainly not
interested in equality. The end goal is much more in line with an
affirmative-action-type promotion for homosexuals, bisexuals and
transgendered persons.

S. 555, introduced by Sen. Al Franken, Minnesota Democrat, and H.R. 998,
introduced by Rep. Jared Polis, Colorado Democrat, would be more
appropriately titled the “GLBT Student Promotion Act.” The clear focus of
SNDA is spelled out on its first finding, emphasizing, “Public school
students who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender … have been and
are subject to pervasive discrimination, including harassment, bullying,
intimidation and violence.”

No point in arguing that.

The more revealing question is: Why focus on sexual behavior alone? All
students should be protected. Bullying or harassment for any reason is
reprehensible.

The answer, SNDA declares, is that bullying based on “sexual orientation …
represent* a distinct and especially severe problem.” Apparently for Mr.
Franken, Mr. Polis and their GLBT supporters, the pain an obese kid feels
when he is bullied is not as severe as that of a bullied homosexual.

The act tries to mask its obvious promotion of inequality by saying,
“Federal statutory provisions expressly address discrimination on the
basis of race, color, sex, religion, disability and national origin.” But
that still does not address the countless other reasons why kids are
bullied or harassed at school. Kids are bullied because they are obese or
skinny, wear glasses or don’t have the money to buy the latest designer
clothing, the latest electronic gadgets or countless other things.

Why should this law be aimed at protecting homosexuals, bisexuals and
transgenders alone? Why not protect all students?

The answer is obvious to the reasonable observer. The aim of the
legislation is not the protection of students. SNDA is a Trojan horse with
the objective of promoting acceptance of GLBT behavior by eradicating
deeply held beliefs that proponents view as “homophobic.”

The dangers with such a piece of legislation are many. The clash with
other students’ deeply held religious beliefs is the most obvious problem.
Is it bullying or harassment for a student to say he believes marriage
should be the union between one man and one woman, he believes homosexual
behavior is wrong or sinful, or that he believes a person can change his
sexual orientation”?

But the problems go far beyond that. Under SNDA, for example, GLBT
students are not to be “excluded from participation in, be denied the
benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or
activity receiving federal financial assistance.” What about a transgender
girl wanting to participate in the male football program? Is the school
discriminating if it prohibits her participation? Will the school be found
in violation of this law for refusing to accept her as a “boy” when she
was born biologically female? We already have seen attempts to force
schools to allow such students to go into the other sex’s bathrooms. Will
that be required under this legislation?

Regardless, the reality is that to use “student safety” as a vehicle to
promote sexual behaviors as a political agenda is shameful. No senator
should take pride in supporting this piece of legislation. It has nothing
to do with equality.
