   Last year a mother from the western suburbs joined some other parents and   
   went to the State House to appeal to the Governor's office. She was becoming   
   frantic. Her son at the local high school had been told by his musician   
   friends how "cool" it was at the school's Gay/Straight Alliance club   
   meetings. She soon found out that the club had watched at least one R-rated   
   video of two boys having a love affair. She discovered some provocative   
   handouts in his room. He became detached, and she suspected that he was   
   experimenting with homosexual relationships.   
      
   The principal would not look into it, nor would any other officials. It was   
   suggested that maybe she was homophobic.   
      
   No one from the Governor's office would speak to her or the other parents. A   
   Department of Public Health official finally listened to them but afterwards   
   would not return her calls. Later the Boston homosexual newspaper, Bay   
   Windows, published a blistering article warning that bigoted, homophobic   
   parents were trying to endanger the money for the state's gay school clubs.   
      
   Each year, Governor Paul Cellucci budgets $1.5 million for his "Governor's   
   Commission for Gay and Lesbian Youth." Made up of homosexual activists from   
   across the state since 1992, the Commission has used the "safe schools"   
   mantra and state money to persuade over 180 schools in Massachusetts to   
   accept the clubs. Parents and others who offer any criticism of the programs   
   are regularly accused of homophobia and endangering students' safety. The   
   Governor, who gets much support from the gay community, shields the GSA   
   programs from scrutiny. The Commission does much of its work directly   
   through the Massachusetts Department of Education and other state agencies.   
      
   The Commission also works closely with a national organization, the Gay and   
   Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) to give the clubs materials,   
   movies, literature and funding for various activities. In all, there are   
   over 700 GSA clubs in the country, many of them partially federally funded.   
      
   School officials use several arguments to deflect criticism of GSAs. In a   
   Boston Herald article last month, Newton assistant superintendent Jim Marini   
   brushed aside a parent's questioning of Newton's GSA activities. "This is   
   not about sex. This is about human rights," he said. The school counselor,   
   Linda Shapiro, added that, "the purpose is to make gay students feel   
   safe..."   
      
   Sex is Taught   
      
   On March 25, the Massachusetts Department of Education, the Governor's   
   Commission, and GLSEN co-sponsored a statewide conference at Tufts   
   University called "Teach-Out." Among the goals were to build more GSAs in   
   Massachusetts and expand homosexual teaching into the lower grades. Scores   
   of gay-friendly teachers and administrators attended. They received state   
   "professional development credits." Teenagers and children as young as 12   
   were encouraged to come from around the state, and many were bussed in from   
   their home districts. Homosexual activists from across the country were also   
   there.   
      
   To say that the descriptions below, of workshops and presentations of this   
   state-sponsored event for educators and children, are "every parent's   
   nightmare" does not do them justice. It is beyond belief that this could be   
   happening at all. One music teacher who attended out of curiosity said that   
   she could not sleep for several nights afterwards and had nightmares about   
   it.   
      
   Queer sex for youth 14-21   
      
   In one well-attended workshop, "What They Didn't Tell You About Queer Sex &   
   Sexuality In Health Class: A Workshop For Youth Only, Ages 14-21," the three   
   homosexual presenters acting in their professional capacities coaxed about   
   20 children into talking openly and graphically about homosexual sex. The   
   purpose appeared to be to train adults who are running the student clubs.   
   The three presenters, who described themselves as homosexual, were:   
      
   . Margot E. Ables, Coordinator, HIV/AIDS Program, Massachusetts Dept. of   
   Education   
      
   . Julie Netherland, Coordinator, HIV/AIDS Program, Massachusetts Dept. of   
   Education   
      
   . Michael Gaucher, Consultant, HIV/AIDS Program, Massachusetts Dept. of   
   Public Health   
      
   The workshop syllabus included:   
      
   "What's it like to be young, queer and beginning to date? Are lesbians at   
   risk for HIV?.We will address the information you want about queer sexuality   
   and some of the politics that prevent us from getting our needs met."   
      
   The workshop opened by the three public employees asking the children "how   
   they knew, as gay people, whether or not they've had sex." Questions were   
   thrown around the room about whether oral sex was "sex," to which the   
   Department of Public Health employee stated, "If that's not sex, then the   
   number of times I've had sex has dramatically decreased; from a mountain to   
   a valley, baby." Eventually the answer presented itself, and it was   
   determined that whenever an orifice was filled with genitalia, then sex had   
   occurred. The Department of Public Health employee, Michael Gaucher, had the   
   following exchange with one student, who appeared to be about 16 years old:   
      
   Michael Gaucher: "What orifices are we talking about?"   
      
   Student: [hesitation]   
      
   Michael Gaucher: "Don't be shy, honey; you can do it."   
      
   Student: "Your mouth."   
      
   Michael Gaucher: "Okay."   
      
   Student: "Your ass."   
      
   Michael Gaucher: "There you go."   
      
   Student: "Your pussy. That kind of place."   
      
   But since sex occurred "when an orifice was filled," the next question was   
   how lesbians could "have sex." Margot Abels discussed whether a dildo had to   
   be involved; when it was too big or too small; and what homosexual resources   
   students could consult to get similar questions answered.   
      
   Role playing and "carpet munching"   
      
   Then the children were asked to role-play. One student was to act the part   
   of "a young lesbian who's really enraptured with another woman, and it's   
   really coming down to the wire and you're thinking about having sex." The   
   other student played the "hip GSA (gay, straight alliance) lesbian advisor,   
   who you feel you can talk to." The "counseling" included discussions of   
   lesbian sex, oral-vaginal contact, or "carpet munching," as one student put   
   it. The student asked whether it would smell like fish. At that point the   
   session turned to another subject.   
      
   "A lesson in fisting?"   
      
   There was a five minute pause so that all of the teenagers could write down   
   questions for the homosexual presenters. The first question was read by   
   Julie Netherland, "What's fisting?"   
      
   A student answered this question by informing the class that "fisting" is   
   when you put your "whole hand into the ass or pussy" of another. When a few
