Kudos to all the high-school teens who participated in an honest demonstration of dialog with the pro-homosexual culture of many of our public schools during today’s “Day of Truth.”

Silence – from their parents or their peers – doesn’t teach kids anything. It just leaves their still-forming consciences open for exploitation by those who are emboldened by the silence of others (and the complicity of the educational establishment). It’s not enough for our young people not to hear out-loud lies from the homosexual activists – they must hear the truth that counters the homosexual intimidations.

This year, a lot more students will hear that that truth, thanks to the candid conversations prompted by “Day of Truth” events on campuses all over the country. These events – scheduled for April 27, one day after the “Day of Silence” – will counter the intimidating tactics of the homosexual activists with something that used to be a given in our public schools: a little honest give-and-take.

“Day of Truth” participants will hand out their own cards between classes, explaining their intent to invoke their First Amendment rights of free speech by sharing another view of homosexual behavior – not out of hatred or contempt, but out of a sincere desire to bring healing and understanding through a clear examination of the facts.
