the right to think and believe that one is "gay" and to a somewhat lesser extent, to express one's belief
that one is "gay."
However, homosexual activists define "sexual orientation" to encompass both a person's state of
mind and that person's lifestyle (the sexual behavior associated with a given orientation). This is one
reason why the more politically savvy elements of the "gay" movement continue to resist the
identification of pedophilia as a sexual orientation. Unquestionably, pedophilia is a sexual orientation,
but to admit that it is would force "gay" activists to acknowledge a fundamental distinction between
"orientation" and "conduct" or else to be perceived as endorsing the legitimization of adult-child sex.
Unfortunately, it is the homosexuals' definition on which the "Safe Schools" (and every other
"anti-discrimination") policy is based. Thus, under "Safe Schools," sexual orientation is interpreted
to mean protection for both "gay" status and conduct, and to require the active suppression of any
facts, figures and arguments which reflect negatively upon homosexuals.
In other words, by employing the diversity model, homosexual activists have been able to use the
"Safe Schools" program to legitimize all sexual conduct which may be associated with a sexual
orientation. They have also avoided any public discussion about the dangers of homosexual behavior.
A final word is in order regarding the importance of promoting genuine tolerance among students.
Implicit in the "Safe Schools" model is the unchallenged premise that homosexuality deserves social
approval, and that it is therefore inappropriate for students to hold "discriminatory attitudes" about
it. Yet as we observed, homosexuality involves harmful sexual conduct and is therefore deserving of
social disapproval.
Students confronted with self-declared homosexual peers should be civil to these peers, just as they
should be civil to peers who embrace other unwise life-choices (racism, drug use, self-mutilation).
They should not, however, be challenged or rebuked by school officials for holding negative opinions
about these people’s choices or their practices.
Indeed, they should be affirmed for exercising good judgment. After all, this is actual tolerance: being
civil to others with whom you disagree.
In the final analysis, only where true tolerance (as opposed to political correctness) is the norm will
you find genuinely "safe schools."
