Extremist Christians publish gay hate guide for kids
Christian gay hate group in the US write question and answer pamphlet to help parents teach homophobia to children
A US Christian ministry has published a homophobic guide for parents to teach their children about gays.
Mission: America's hate-filled pamphlet called 'Questions and Answers for Kids About Homosexuality' is intended as an easy guide for parents struggling to explain to their older grade school or middle school children what being 'gay' means.
Despite rightly suggesting the word 'gay' should not be used as an insult, it quickly goes on to insist that homosexuality is 'wrong' and a 'sin'.
'Most cultures long ago decided this was very wrong. And they made rules against
it, for a lot of good reasons,' the ministry's leader Linda Harvey writes.
'First of all, two men can never create their own child. Neither can two women. And two men kissing - well, it just doesn’t seem right. That’s because it isn’t.'
It goes on to suggest parents explain how 'homosexual feelings' are a sin and God wasn't pleased when some people didn't listen to him about it.
More worrying is the advice given on what kids should say to someone being bullied because of their sexuality.
Harvey wrote: 'If the bully uses bad words or makes up false stories that someone is “gay,” or calls a boy names like “sissy,” or worse, that’s horrible. Always speak up and help someone who is being bullied.
'But it’s not right to tell someone that being homosexual is okay. The person may be feeling sad because of being bullied, but never try to make him or feel better by saying “gay” is okay.
'Kids who are overweight are sometimes bullied, too. And we might want to make that person feel better. But it would be a mistake to say that overeating is a good thing, right?
'So tell your friends, in a nice way, that no one needs to be “gay” or pretend to be the other gender. It’s not the right thing to do.
'It is important to know the truth and stand up for it.'
Mission: America, which was branded a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, is based in Columbus, Ohio, and describes its purpose as covering the 'latest cultural and social trends in our country and what they might mean for Christians.'
In 2006, it helped launch a School Risk Audit program with other far right Christian groups to assess what it sees as schools' promotion of homosexuality, the criteria of which include anti-bullying programs that include acceptance of different sexual orientations and non-discrimination policies that include sexual orientation.

Lets not pretend being gay is OK according to Christian principles
"For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error," (Rom. 1:26-27, NASB).
If you are a christian you base your faith on the old and new testament.
You believe that it contains the word of GOD.
It has some good principles which you can adopt and live by but being a Christian you should believe and adhere to all of what this incredibly powerful amazing GOD who create the universe has said in the 2 books which are the base of your faith
The laws of the old testament are despicable and many I would not wish on my worst enemy and I am not an all powerful god.
How could a god of love be so cruel. Can anyone answer me? god is supposed to be so powerful I cant accept that he changed his mind between the old testament and new testament which most of is in a miniscule time taking into consideration how long the universe has been around.
Don't try to justify that Christians should not teach what their bible says.It is their belief and being gay is a sin!
Best to start looking at how evil the faith is and discredit it.
You cannot justify such an evil book
Guess they were right about the eating too much
Proverbs 23:2 proclaims, “Put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony.”
Lets start with that guy in the background
We could reduce the American population by a third with that one
Oh and if anyone works on a Sunday they should be stoned
The things our loving GOD has said . Isn't he just wonderful
Children tell your fat friends to hold a knife to their throats Now thats a good boy!

I hope members of mission:America were turned down by a same-sex crush at some point. Otherwise they're just pompous assholes.
