Yes. The percentage of male only couples that have been to a gay sex club versus the number of married couples (real married couples) who have been to a swingers club -- What do you suppose that ratio is? Is the mean percentage of all couples that have done so going to go up when LGBT persons incorporate their experiences throughout all programs, including religious education.

Does anyone actually think that a gay education director will ever teach the true meaning of the First Chapter of Romans? That is, if he teaches it at all.

Note that only "credible" resources are going to be examined. What that means is that only prohomosexual propaganda is going to be taken at face value. Everything to the contrary is going to be cited and taught as "homophobia." Homophobe is the new "N" word.

The rot goes from the top down. The "gay and lesbian experience" has already thoroughly penetrated the upper eschelons. All this planning and working is just to make sure that it filters all the way down to the bottom, so that there is not one single child who at last does not know all about sodomy.

The homosexual persons have the same experiences as the vast majority of nonhomosexual people. It is only in the area of sex that the "experience" becomes very different. There have always been homosexual church members sharing in the life of the Christian church. What the CofC and its fellow travelers are contemplating is taking over the Christian church and making it a Club Med for homosexuals.

It is a "tool" that is going to be "used." The question is, who is going to be doing the using, what is the use going to be for, and who is going to end up abused?
