California Legislature Approves “Gay Day”
Filed under: Blogging, Politics, Youth
So I’m sure you’ve all heard by now. The California legislature has approved what amounts to “Gay Day” in all California public schools. This proposed day will be in support of the late San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk. If this bill is signed into law it will mean that all public schools, on May 22nd of every year, will have an official day commemorating homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality. It will harm children as young as those in kindergarden by portraying in a positive light, homosexual experimentation, homosexual marriages, sex-change operations, and anything else that is “in the closet.”
The text of the bill says this:
“On Harvey Milk Day, exercises remembering the life of Harvey Milk and recognizing his accomplishments as well as the contributions he made to this state” should be conducted; specifically, “all public schools and educational institutions are encouraged to observe…and…conduct suitable commemorative exercises.”
Now I’m torn here, because on the one hand California politics is finally trying to promote a positive message; and who doesn’t want 5 and 6 year olds being given a positive spin on marriage, sexual experimentation and sex-changes from our government funded public schools?
But on the other hand, who are we to disagree and get up-in-arms on an issue like this when TIME Magazine listed Harvey Milk as one of the “Heroes and Icons” in the “Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century.” I mean come on! If Big Media counts him a hero/icon why shouldn’t our 5 and 6 year olds?
But seriously, how much more forest is left to burn in California before they see the writing on the wall?
So if you live in California, have some vested interest there, actually care about what happens in that state at all, or if you are able to breathe (at minimum through a plastic tube), then I would urge you do something about it in whatever capacity you are able within these ranges (PRAY —- Call/Email/Write Gov.

Just another personal update here about this 3rd Leadership Track of ATC (Awakening Teen Camp). I am blown away by these teenagers. My heart is so moved seeing young people leading prayer meetings, and wanting to be trained to lead prayer meetings in their high schools and middle schools. I mean these are 13-17 year olds leading a room of adults in prayer… and it’s REALLY enjoyable.
In a country where 1 out of 10 high schools has a club for gay and gay-friendly kids and where sexual laxity in our society among teenagers has become a social norm, there are forerunners who are standing up for purity, wholeheartedness, and fighting to maintain a life in God.
