National Crazy Loud homophobic bigot day!
http://www.cnn.com/2005/EDUCATION/04/13/dueling.days.ap/index.html

NEW YORK (AP) -- Irked by the success of the nationwide Day of Silence, which seeks to combat anti-gay bias in schools, conservative activists are launching a counter-event this week called the Day of Truth aimed at mobilizing students who believe homosexuality is sinful.

Participating students are being offered T-shirts with the slogan "The Truth Cannot be Silenced" and cards to pass out to classmates Thursday -- the day following the Day of Silence -- declaring their unwillingness to condone "detrimental personal and social behavior."

The driving force behind the Day of Truth is the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal group that has opposed same-sex marriage and challenged restrictions on religious expression in public schools. The event is endorsed by several influential conservative organizations, including the Christian ministry Focus on the Family and the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.

2. And the truth is that those poor little kids are being raised to be
...crazy loud homophobic bigots! With tee shirts! Good gravy.....!

Sounds like an argument for school uniforms and a dress code, to me!

6. These shirts will be a good place for closeted gays to hide.
The moral of the homophobic movement is that they can harm gays a little, but in the process they will harm themselves more and actually strength the very gays they tried to harm.

separation of church and state. If this makes you as angry as it makes me, click on these links and make a donation!

www.aclu.org
www.pfaw.org
www.tolerance.org

These are the organizations that these "Christian" groups absolutely hate! I love hearing the right wing cry like little spoiled babies when the ACLU kicks their asses in court. If you want more motivation, take a look at this right-wing website:

www.stoptheaclu.org

They mention the ACLU, People For the American Way, and Southern Poverty Law Center as the groups they are fighting against. I say that's a ringing endorsement of those 3 groups to me! Let's wreck the movement of the extreme religious right by supporting these groups!
