Lawmaker Calls Pro-Homosexual Play Typical Public School Propaganda

(AgapePress) - A Virginia legislator is expressing outrage over a public high school play in which two male students engaged in a homosexual kiss onstage.
The play performed at Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn was called Postcards from Paradise and featured a high school football star who supposedly discovers he is homosexual. In his final lines, the male actor asks the audience, "Am I a little too much like you for your own comfort? Do you hate me because you see a little of me hiding in you?"
Delegate Dick Black of Loudon is angered that the Loudon County School District approved the play. He feels schools should not be producing plays that involve or imply any kind of sexual activity, much less "the standard homosexual propaganda" to be found in Postcards from Paradise.
Black takes exception to the presumptions that the homosexual-themed play presents, false notions such as "first of all, that people just fall out of the trees as homosexuals instead of committing specific unnatural sex acts that make them this way," he says. Also, he points out, such propaganda often presents those who object to the homosexual lifestyle on moral grounds as hate-filled and homophobic.
The Virginia legislator contends that the high school's recent production is just more evidence of the homosexual brainwashing that is occurring in America's public schools -- ideas that do not get into the education system randomly or by accident.
"The folks who go and receive education degrees in our colleges are indoctrinated in the notion that homosexuality is a positive thing, a good thing," he asserts, "and when they come out of those teaching colleges and they go into our schools, they carry that agenda with them."
Black believes promoters of the homosexual agenda are using plays like the one presented at Stone Bridge High School, not only to push acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle but also to suggest that there is something irregular about people who hold Christian values. He says the idea that "somehow we're all hate-filled because we don't embrace the very dangerous type of misconduct that they get involved in," is a recurring theme in pro-homosexual propaganda.
