PFLAG's Palm Sunday Fundraiser Gets Attention of Massachusetts Activist

(AgapePress) - - A Massachusetts pro-family activist says a recent fundraising concert hosted by a high school in Concord on Palm Sunday encouraged and celebrated sodomy.
Last Sunday, Concord Carlisle High School hosted a fundraiser for the homosexual activist group Parents, Friends, and Family of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). The event featured homosexual-themed songs performed by the Boston Gay Men's Chorus.
Lee Ann Kay, who wrote a letter to school officials protesting the Palm Sunday event, says among other things, the fundraising concert was disrespectful to those who worship Jesus Christ. "Holy Week is particularly important to Christians," she says, "and to celebrate homosexual practices on Palm Sunday, I believe, is a slap in the face to students at the high school whose families uphold traditional moral and religious beliefs."
She also is concerned because of the implication of the event. "[T]his fundraiser for homosexuality [also] sends the false message to students that homosexuality is normal and it's healthy," Kay notes, "and we all know that homosexuality is dangerous to the health and welfare of students and society."
The family activist shares that her letter to the Concord superintendent of schools protesting the event went unacknowledged -- and that when she called the principal of the high school to protest the event, he hung up on her after she voiced her concerns. "He told me that he made the decision to sponsor this fundraising event for PFLAG on Palm Sunday," she says.
"We had some conversations about the effects this event would have on our community. Mr. DeLong denied that the fundraiser encourages homosexual experimentation among students -- and he abruptly ended our conversation when I pointedly said to him, 'You are celebrating sexual perversion on Palm Sunday.'"
Although Kay is not a lawyer, she suspects the pro-homosexual event was illegal because the state has regulations prohibiting political organizations from fundraising in public buildings. PFLAG is actively involved in promoting same-sex "marriage" in Massachusetts.
