For Immediate Release:  January 24, 2012<br />

<p>Will Only One Side of the Story Be Told?</p>
<p>(Harrisburg) &#8212; <a href="http://www.yorkdispatch.com/news/ci_19806579">Tomorrow night</a> the Dallastown High School Gay Straight Alliance Club will be showing the &#8220;documentary&#8221; Out in the Silence.  The target of that documentary is the American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA).</p>
<p>&#8220;Homosexual activists Dean Hamer and Joe Wilson targeted the AFA of PA accusing us of encouraging the bullying of students who identify as homosexual  and calling for the boycott of a lesbian-owned theatre.  All of which are false, yet they chose to distort and twist the facts as well as deliberately edit out any conversations that took place between Dean, Joe or CJ and me to fit their own agenda,&#8221; commented Diane Gramley, president of the AFA of PA.</p>
<p>For those who want to know the truth about what happened during the filming of this &#8216;documentary&#8217;  and read the letters that are referenced during the film, they can go to the <a href="http://afaofpa.org/archives/122/  ">AFA of PA website</a>.    Interested parties can also go to the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/afaofpa">AFA of PA YouTube channel</a> and watch excerpts of the AFA of PA response to Out in the Silence held in Coudersport in August 2010.</p>
<p>The AFA of PA has made it very clear that ALL students should be provided a safe learning environment.  Our letters and other communications have never indicated otherwise.  We fully support anti-bullying programs which address ALL bullying and do not single out certain groups for special attention.  The AFA of PA has also taken a strong stand in educating on the dangers of the homosexual lifestyle and not simply telling students that engaging in homosexual acts is simply a &#8216;safe alternative lifestyle.&#8217;  Additionally, the AFA of PA does not believe anyone is &#8216;born gay.&#8217;</p>
<p>Medical problems students should be warned of include:</p>
<p>&#8211; <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5937a2.htm?s_cid=mm5937a2_w">57% of all new HIV cases in 2009 </a>were men who have sex with men  (MSM)</p>
<p>&#8211; <a href=" http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/youth/index.htm?source=govdelivery">Young MSM</a>, especially those of minority races and ethnicities, are at increased risk for HIV infection. In 2009, young MSM accounted for 27% of new HIV infections in the US and 69% of new HIV infections among persons aged 13–29. Among young black MSM, new HIV infections increased 48% from 2006 through 2009.</p>
<p>&#8211; increased <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/std/stats10/trends.htm">cases of syphilis</a> among men who have sex with men</p>
<p>&#8211; men who have sex with men can <a href="http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/content/26/3/657.abstract?ijkey=1c8675ed078c2cd76df7e1a71876afa820e52a51&amp;keytype2=tf_ipsecsha">shorten their lives by up to 20 years  </a></p>
<p>&#8211; <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/05/us/aids-fears-grow-for-black-women.html">bisexuals are a bridge</a> for HIV/AIDS into the heterosexual community</p>
<p>&#8220;Hamer and Wilson have used their false claims in the documentary to further their agenda and proclaim that all those who oppose their tactics and lies are haters and encourage the bullying of homosexuals.  I made it very clear to CJ Bills, in the conversation that was conveniently cut from the film, that what happened to him was wrong and the school should have investigated his accusations more thoroughly,&#8221; Gramley further stated.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AFA of PA ACTION ALERT</p>
<p>January 23, 2012</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Issues</span></strong></p>
<p>1.) Is Your Child&#8217;s School Participating In This?</p>
<p>2.)  President Obama&#8217;s Statement on the Anniversary of Roe v. Wade -<a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/01/22/statement-president-roe-v-wade-anniversary">Click here</a>.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Details</span></strong></p>
<p>1.)  This is<a href="http://www.nonamecallingweek.org/cgi-bin/iowa/home.html"> &#8220;No Name Calling Week&#8221;</a> (NNCW)   in our nation&#8217;s schools!  Sounds good until you realize it is the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network (GLSEN) who is behind it.  GLSEN&#8217;s ultimate goal is to normalize the homosexual lifestyle &#8211; telling kids that &#8216;It&#8217;s okay to be gay.&#8217;  Last week they released a 68-page elementary toolkit called &#8220;<a href="http://www.glsen.org/binary-data/GLSEN_ATTACHMENTS/file/000/002/2028-1.pdf ">Ready, Set, Respect</a></p>
<p>Here are some statements from that publication&#8217;s introduction:</p>
<p>[E]lementary school children are bombarded every day with messages about different groups of people in our society, many of which portray these groups in a negative, socially undesirable way. Those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) are often among these groups. In addition to influencing attitudes, the messages children receive about these people also influences (sic) how they will make sense of gender and inform how they think about their own identity&#8230; <em>without intentional guidance</em>, the messages children receive about groups of people, as well as various identities and gender roles can complicate this process and contribute to bullying, prejudice and bias.</p>
<p><em>While most elementary educators have embraced this work and construct and conduct lessons focused on diversity, recent research suggests that <strong>intentional efforts</strong> to include explicit lessons that foster respect for differences in gender identity or gender expression or that include families with LGBT parents/caregiver, siblings, or other individuals significant in our student&#8217;s lives, are less frequent. As a result, many students go through their elementary school years without positive mentions of families that include LGBT persons or friends or people who may be gender non-conforming.</em></p>
<p><strong><em>The elementary school years offer a wonderful and important opportunity to instill and/or nurture positive attitudes</em></strong> and respect for individual, family and cultural differences, including diversity <strong><em>related to sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression</em></strong>.</p>
<p>More specific instructions include the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Make sure the analogies you use when teaching don&#8217;t rely on hetero-normative or gender-normative images or viewpoints. A hetero-normative viewpoint is one that expresses heterosexuality as a given instead of being one of many possibilities. Such a viewpoint can translate into the development of all kinds of images that reinforce the view. The assumption (reinforced by imagery and practice) that a boy will grow up and marry a woman is based on such a viewpoint. A gender-normative image, on the other hand is one that delimits the possibilities for children of either gender by reinforcing stereotyped expectations.</li>
<li>Find ways of grouping and lining up students other than &#8220;boys here, girls there&#8221; or &#8220;boys do this, girls do that.&#8221; While some students may enjoy these ways of separating the class, they can isolate other students who may feel uncomfortable conforming to gender-based stereotypes.</li>
<li><em>Monitor choice activity time to ensure that students are not segregating themselves by gender.</em></li>
<li>Become more aware of the ways that you support gender stereotypes in your expectations of students and their work and intervene when you hear students making genderbased assumptions.</li>
<li>Write math problems with contexts that include a variety of family structures and gender-expressions. For example, &#8220;Rosa and her dads were at the store and wanted to buy three boxes of pasta. If each costs $.75, how much will all three boxes cost?&#8221;(emphasis added)</li>
</ul>
<p>Now you see where GLSEN is coming from and such thinking will be reflected in this week&#8217;s NNCW lessons.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Action Steps</span></strong></p>
<p>1.)  Call your child&#8217;s school and see if they are participating in &#8216;No Name Calling Week.&#8221;</p>
<p>2.)  Share this information with others who are concerned with what is going on in our schools.</p>

<p>Traditional Values Group Listed in PA Inter-Agency Task Force on Civil Tension &#8216;Bias Incidents&#8217; Report &#8211; Why?</p>
<p>(Harrisburg)  In November the American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA), a statewide traditional values group which advocates for natural marriage, family and children, <a href="http://afaofpa.org/archives/p2597/">criticized the US Department of Education</a> for its criticism of the Penn State/Sandusky homosexual predator scandal.     Today the criticism by the AFA of PA will be discussed at the PA Inter-Agency Task Force on Civil Tension meeting as our criticism made page 3 of the recently released report of &#8216;bias incidents.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8220;This is yet another example of political correctness gone amuck.  Our attempt in November was to expose the efforts of Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to encourage schools across the country to establish gay straight alliance clubs which many times places impressionable students in harm&#8217;s way by validating the dangerous homosexual lifestyle and puts them in contact with outside homosexual groups and individuals.  Then he turns around and criticizes Penn State for not being more careful in monitoring Sandusky.  It really seems that Secretary Duncan does not fully understand what he is advocating,&#8221; remarked Diane Gramley, president of the AFA of PA.</p>
<p>On June 14 Secretary Duncan sent a <a href="http://www2.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/secletter/110607.html">“Dear Colleague” letter </a> to federally funded schools across the country advising them to allow the establishment school clubs, especially gay straight alliance clubs in order to ” help ensure that all students, including LGBT and gender nonconforming students, have a safe place to learn, meet, share experiences, and discuss matters that are important to them.”</p>
<p>&#8220;Perhaps Pennsylvania&#8217;s tax dollars could be better used than listing efforts by a child advocacy group to protect school students from US DOE attempts to  get kids into gay straight alliance clubs.  Any &#8220;interagency tension&#8221; created by our November 17th news release was created by the PA Inter-Agency Task Force on Civil Tension itself, not the AFA of PA,&#8221; Gramley concluded.</p>

Contact:  Diane Gramley  1.814.271.9078 or 1.814.437-5355</p>
<p>What a Joke!  US Department of Education Wants to Investigate Penn State</p>
<p>(Harrisburg) &#8211;  The Monday after former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was arraigned on 40 criminal counts dealing with his alleged sexual assault of boys and young teens , Secretary of Education Arne Duncan told an AP reporter that the Penn State sexual assault case made him <a href="http://www.centredaily.com/2011/11/07/2977523/duncan-says-penn-state-case-makes.html">&#8220;extraordinarily angry.&#8221; </a>   Two days later the US Department of Education announced it will begin an <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/11/09/us-education-department-to-investigate-penn-state-scandal/">investigation into Penn State</a> to determine whether the school followed the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and the Campus Crime Statistics Act.   However, the American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA) notes that this response to the homosexual predator case is extremely hypocritical of Arne Duncan who is pushing school districts to approve gay straight alliance clubs which potentially places students in the path of homosexual predators.</p>
<p>On June 14 Secretary Duncan sent a<a href="http://www2.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/secletter/110607.html"> &#8220;Dear Colleague&#8221; letter</a> to federally funded schools across the country advising them about establishing school clubs, especially gay straight alliance clubs in order to &#8221; help ensure that all students, including LGBT and gender nonconforming students, have a safe place to learn, meet, share experiences, and discuss matters that are important to them.&#8221;   The AFA of PA agrees that all students should be provided a safe learning environment, but to encourage a<a href="http://zeenews.india.com/news/health/us-aids-cases-stable-at-50-000-per-year_724426.html  "> dangerous lifestyle</a> is irresponsible.    Duncan is laying the groundwork to  create potential Penn State sex scandals in middle and high schools across the country.</p>
<p>&#8220;In his letter Duncan quoted extensively from the fraudulent data from the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network (GLSEN) National School Climate Survey which was compiled and interpreted entirely by GLSEN’s own in-house activists, targeted only students who identify as homosexual, bisexual, transgender or a sexual orientation other than heterosexual and organizations promoting homosexuality and was simply posted on their website.  He used bad statistics in his &#8220;Dear Colleague&#8221; letter,&#8221; explained Diane Gramley, president of the AFA of PA.</p>
<p>There is a growing indication that a link exists between GSAs in schools and community based homosexual groups.  This places adolescent members of GSAs in contact with adult homosexuals in the area, thus placing them in danger of potential assault.</p>
<p>Examples in PA  include the <a href="http://www.plannedparenthood.org/ppbucks/rainbow-room-28411.htm">Rainbow Room in Bucks County</a>  which  is also working to create activists through the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Abington-GSA/153995391303849?v=wall ">Abington Township GSA</a>.    A GSA leadership summit held at Dickinson College<a href="http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2009/02/gaystraight_alliance_student_s.html"> in 2009 </a> and <a href="http://www.centralpalgbtcenter.org/news/thanks-to-everyone-who-attended-the-gsa-leadership-summit ">this year</a> placed students who either self-identify as &#8216;gay&#8217; or their allies in potentially danger situations.   The homosexual organization <a href="http://www.centralpalgbtcenter.org/common-roads/gsa-leadership-summit ">Common Roads</a> in Harrisburg works closely with area GSAs.   These are but a few examples of the type relationships between homosexual groups and gay straight alliance clubs with which Arne Duncan is apparently okay.</p>
<p>&#8220;The alleged assaults and cover-up at Penn State do need to be investigated, but Arne Duncan needs to rethink his support of gay straight alliance clubs and be truthful with schools about what the Equal Access Act says in its entirety.  Because that law does not “limit the authority of the school, its agents or employees, to maintain order and discipline on school premises.”   Administrators and school boards who question the wisdom of forming a homosexual club have reason to be concerned,&#8221; further explained Gramley.</p>

<p><strong>AFA of PA Statement on the Firing of Graham Spanier and Joe Paterno</strong></p>
<p>(Harrisburg) &#8211;  Tonight the Penn State Board of Trustees did the right thing in unanimously voting to  fire President Graham Spanier and Coach Joe Paterno.    But at least three  questions remain:  1.) What will the Board do about Athletic Director Tim Curley who is <a href="http://www.altoonamirror.com/page/content.detail/id/555196.html">on administrative leave</a>?    2.)  Will the school continue <a href="http://www.altoonamirror.com/page/content.detail/id/555214.html%20">paying the legal fees</a> for Curley and Gary Schultz, whose job description included oversight of the campus police?      3.)  In their search for a new president, will the <a href="http://www.collegian.psu.edu:8080/archive/1995/03/03-16-95tdc/03-16-95dnews-7.asp">board heed warnings</a> such as those that were registered with them in 1995 as they were on the verge of hiring Graham Spanier?</p>
<p>American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA) President Diane Gramley issued the following statement:  &#8220;This week has exposed the atmosphere produced at Penn State under the leadership of Graham Spanier.  On Monday the AFA of PA, among others, called for the  Board of Trustees to fire Graham Spanier.  The chorus of voices calling for that action has only increased since that time.  Tonight Spanier is gone.  As the Pennsylvania Police Commissioner acknowledged Joe Paterno had fulfilled his legal obligation when he reported the incident to Tim Curley, but questioned whether he had fulfilled his moral responsibility to do more.   Joe Paterno is also gone, ending his 46 year head coaching career with a terrible blemish.  The lives of at least eight young boys have been destroyed because of the actions of a homosexual predator and the inaction of those in authority at Penn State.  Spanier has done much damage to the image of Penn State and the board&#8217;s responsibility is to find someone who is not just a good fundraiser or lobbyist in Harrisburg, but someone who understands the dangers of permitting such an &#8216;anything goes&#8217; attitude on campus.  The Board has an opportunity to get Penn State back on track &#8212; will they take it?&#8221;</p>

<p><strong><em>American Family Association of Pennsylvania Calls for Removal of Penn State President</em></strong></p>
<p>(Harrisburg)  &#8212; If the accusations of sexual assault against <a href="http://www.phillyburbs.com/sandusky-grand-jury-presentment/pdf_38262faf-553a-592c-ad1f-b307e53116b4.html">former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky </a>prove true, Penn State faces the largest scandal of its history .   The American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA) notes that the atmosphere around Penn State has for years laid the groundwork for such accusations and alleged cover-ups.  Penn State president Graham Spanier, who wrote <a href="http://www.dailynebraskan.com/opinion/three-cheers-for-harvey-1.1020241#.TrgOErLpdEI">his doctoral dissertation on wife-swapping,</a> led the way.    The AFA of PA calls on the<a href="http://www.psu.edu/trustees/"> Board of Trustees</a> to do the right thing and dismiss Graham Spanier, which would be a step in the right direction of cleaning up Penn State&#8217;s image.</p>
<p>In 1995 <a href="http://www.collegian.psu.edu:8080/archive/1995/03/03-16-95tdc/03-16-95dnews-7.asp">the Penn State Board was warned about Spanier </a>by Andrew Loudon, University of Nebraska-Lincoln student body president and student regent, &#8220;He very much focuses on affirmative action and a pro-homosexual agenda.  Watch out for his social agenda. . . .&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Penn State&#8217;s reputation has for many years been that of a university gone wild &#8211; willing to not only push liberalism, but indecency.  The examples abound yet the legislative body in Harrisburg nor the Board of Trustees of Penn State have been willing to do anything to stop forcing Pennsylvania taxpayers from funding this immorality.  <a href="http://www.legis.state.pa.us/WU01/LI/HJ/2001/0/20010424.pdf">In 2001 State Representative John Lawless </a>tried unsuccessfully to get an amendment passed that would have symbolically reprimanded Penn State by lowering its 2002 appropriations of $340 million by $9,520 &#8211; the cost of C-Fest which was held in November 2000.  Legislators did not listen then and have not listened since, but instead have continued funneling money into the cesspool that exists on Penn State&#8217;s main campus, &#8221; Diane Gramley, president of the AFA of PA stated.</p>
<p>The Lawless amendment did pass in the State House in April 2001, but was stripped out in the Senate.  How do those legislators in both the House and Senate who voted against the Lawless amendment and every effort since to rein in Penn State respond to the arrest of Jerry Sandusky and the perjury charges against Penn State Athletic Director Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, senior vice president for finance and business at Penn State and whose job includes oversight of the university police.  <a href="http://www.centredaily.com/2011/11/05/2975648/attorney-general-indicted-penn.html   ">Schultz acknowledged during the grand jury hearing </a>that he was aware of a 1998 University Police investigation into allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior involving Sandusky and young boys in the football showers, but did not pursue the matter.    The university never rescinded Sandusky&#8217;s privileged access to all  buildings, locker rooms and shower facilities  as part of his 1999 retirement agreement.</p>
<p>&#8221; In the fall of 2000 a janitor witnessed Sandusky pin a young boy between 10 and 13 against a locker room wall while Sandusky performed oral sex on him.   A March <a href="http://www.centredaily.com/2011/11/05/2975648/attorney-general-indicted-penn.html">2002 eyewitness account</a> places Jerry Sandusky in a locker room shower sexually molesting a boy who appears to be about 10 years old.   The next morning the graduate assistant, who witnessed the alleged assault, called Coach Joe Paterno who contacted his superior the following morning.  Sandusky was banned, with the approval of Graham Spanier from ever bringing boys from his non-profit The Second Mile into the locker rooms in the Lasch Building.   No questions were asked by those in charge at Penn State and the alleged assaults were never reported to law enforcement as is required by law.  The buck stops at the top and that is Graham Spanier&#8217;s office,&#8221; concluded Gramley.</p>
<p>Examples of activities that have taken place on Penn State&#8217;s campus since Spanier became president include:</p>
<p>November 18, 2000 &#8212; Womyn&#8217;s Concerns and the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance (FMLA) held C-Fest &#8212; &#8220;an event featuring performance art, music and a reading  from Inga Muscio, author of the book C_____: A Declaration of Independence.&#8221; Jess Dobkin, Lesbian performing artist, in various states of nudity.  One report says it featured nudity, vulgar sexual references, and anti-male rants.</p>
<p>February 2001 &#8212; Womyn&#8217;s Concerns hosted &#8220;Sex Faire&#8221; to discuss &#8220;issues of Sexual health, consensual activities and liberation.&#8221;  Included games such as &#8216;pin the clitoris on the vulva&#8217; and &#8216;orgasm bingo.&#8217;  A book table featured  &#8221;Smut and Other Great Literature.&#8221;</p>
<p>October 2001 &#8212; Larry Flynt, publisher of Hustler magazine, accepted an invitation to speak</p>
<p>February 2002 &#8211;  third annual &#8220;Sex Faire&#8221; Womyn&#8217;s Concerns keynote speakers included  Patrick Califia Rice,  female to male transsexual and author of sadomasochistic  books such as &#8220;Macho Sluts&#8221; and &#8220;Public Sex:  The Culture of Radical Sex&#8221; and supporter of NAMBLA ; Sarah Weddington, a lawyer who won Roe v. Wade; Leslie Feinberg speaking on &#8216;Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered Health Liberation;&#8221; and Wendy Sanford presenting &#8220;Our Bodies, Ourselves:  Body, Image, Self-Care and Sexual Choices for Women.&#8217;  Number of workshops from Homosexuality to safe sex erotic.  Information about Planned Parenthood was Available and free condoms were handed out.&#8217;   (a three day event)</p>
<p>October 2002 &#8212; announcement made &#8220;Process to Create LGBT Minor to Begin&#8221;</p>
<p>February 6, 2003 &#8212; FMLA brings Vagina Monologues to campus</p>
<p>February 15, 2003 &#8211;  Womyn&#8217;s Concerns and FMLA bring back &#8220;Sex Faire&#8221; for five hours only (5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.)<strong><em>  </em></strong>four-one-hour workshops &#8212; participants<strong><em> </em></strong>Include Planned Parenthood and Choice USA.  Games include orgasm bingo and<strong><em> b</em></strong>ody painting  for a lesson on consent.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AFA of PA ACTION ALERT</p>
<p>October 24, 2011</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Issue</span></strong></p>
<p>Bangor Area School District Needs to Do the Right Thing!</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Details</span></strong></p>
<p>At tonight&#8217;s school board meeting there will be further discussion on the formation of a Gay Straight Alliance &#8212; now renamed Safe Schools Club.  The idea of a Safes Schools Club promoting homosexuality is ludicrous and the CDC attests to the physical dangers associated with engaging in homosexual sex.</p>
<p>The Equal Access Act, which was passed to allow Child Evangelism Fellowship to have Bible Clubs in schools, is worded so that schools which receive federal dollars must allow all clubs, if they allow even one non-curricular club.  Thus in recent years, with the help of the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network (GLSEN) and the ACLU, school directors who have realized the danger of such clubs have been forced to allow them anyway.  BUT there are precautionary steps that can be taken to protect students and <a href="http://www.poconorecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20111020/NEWS90/110200318/-1/NEWSMAP">at least two Bangor Area school directors get it</a>!</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Action Steps</span></strong></p>
<p>1.)  If you live in the Bangor Area School District, please try to attend tonight&#8217;s meeting at  7:30 p.m. in the Slater Conference Room in the Administration Office, 123 Five Points Richmond Road in Bangor.  The vote to approve the club is scheduled for tonight.  Ask school directors to include the change that all school clubs must require signed parental permission forms before a student can participate in any club.  (The AFA of PA has provided school directors with a sample policy.)  Last month the Easton Area school district approved a Gay Straight Alliance with no such protection in place and the September 22nd <em><a href="http://www.mcall.com/news/local/easton/mc-easton-high-school-gay-straight-alliance-20110922,0,6463634.story">Morning Call </a></em>notes Julia Miles, the faculty advisor, says that while now primarily a social organization where students can share experiences, they hope to move further into activism.</p>
<p>2.)  If you pay taxes (you don&#8217;t have to be a parent) in the Bangor Area School District, please contact the school directors and ask them to protect parental rights and the well-being of students by requiring signed parental permission slips before students can participate in any club.  Signed parental permission slips for ALL clubs will ultimately protect students and create a more ordered and disciplined school environment thus a better place in which to learn.  <a href="http://www.bangor.k12.pa.us/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=121458&amp;type=d%20">Click here</a> for contact info.   Additionally, the school district number is 610. 588-2163.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AFA of PA ACTION ALERT</p>
<p>October 13, 2011</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Issues  (check corresponding number in ‘Details’ and ‘Action’ Sections)</span></strong></p>
<p>1.)  &#8221;National Coming Out Day&#8221;<br />
2.)  Unqualified Judge to Be Voted on in Senate<br />
3.)  Congressional Scorecards Now Available!</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Details</span></strong></p>
<p>Homosexual activists encourage those who believe they are homosexual to &#8216;come out&#8217; and announce to &#8220;the world&#8221; they are homosexual.  They also set aside October 11th each year for an emphasis on &#8216;coming out.&#8217;   Part of this year&#8217;s &#8220;Coming Out&#8221; day is multiple showings  (72  total) of the untruthful homosexual activists&#8217; &#8220;documentary&#8221; Out in the Silence which targets the AFA of PA.    <a href="http://afaofpa.org/archives/122/">Click here</a> for the real facts.</p>
<p>This discriminatory documentary was shown at the following locations in Pennsylvania on October 11th:</p>
<p>West Chester University, West Chester, PA</p>
<p>Bellevue Progressive Center, Scranton, PA</p>
<p>King’s College, Wilkes-Barre, PA</p>
<p>Susquehanna Township GSA, Harrisburg, PA</p>
<p>Attic Youth Center, Philadelphia, PA</p>
<p>Bedford County Library, Bedford, PA<strong>  (</strong>sponsored by Queer Liberation Circle!)</p>
<p>Scranton, PA<strong>  </strong>(sponsored by Lackawanna PRIDE)</p>
<p>Penn State Altoona (sponsored by their Gay-Straight Alliance [GSA])</p>
<p>It will also be shown at Elizabethtown College, Elizabethtown, PA today October 13 and in Pittsburgh on the 14th as part of the &#8220;Building Change Film Festival.&#8221;</p>
<p>There is no doubt that our youth are being targeted.  From October 14-16 there will be a <a href=" http://www.epgn.com/view/full_story/15935374/article-Youth-to-discuss-challenges--solutions?instance=home_news">youth activism event</a> held for youth of all ages in Philadelphia.  It&#8217;s goal is to create at least 150 homosexual activists.</p>
<p>Tuesday night at the Newtown Borough (Bucks County) meeting members of the Council Rock High School Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) Club were scheduled to testify in favor of a homosexual special rights ordinance.  <a href="http://www.buckslocalnews.com/articles/2011/10/09/the_advance/news/doc4e91edbb858a8655680897.txt  ">Click here</a> to read that article.   The faculty advisor for the new<a href="http://www.mcall.com/news/local/easton/mc-easton-high-school-gay-straight-alliance-20110922,0,6463634.story"> Easton High School GSA</a> has said they want to be an activist group.</p>
<p>2.)  President Obama has nominated<a href="http://metroweekly.com/poliglot/2011/10/out-gay-judicial-nominee-fitzg.html"> four &#8216;out&#8217; homosexuals</a> for judicial positions.    In July <a href="http://unicornbooty.com/2011/07/history-senate-confirms-first-out-male-federal-judg/">one of those nominees</a> was confirmed to the US District Court to the Southern District of New York by a vote of 80-3 in the Senate (Casey &#8216;yes&#8217; and &#8216;Toomey &#8216;not voting&#8217;).   I cannot help but think of Judge Vaughn Walker who refused to recuse himself from the Prop 8 trial even though he was homosexual.  The decision he handed down threw out the will of millions of Californians who voted on defining marriage only as between one man and one woman.   Senator Harry Reid has announced a vote on the nomination of lesbian attorney <a href="http://www.metroweekly.com/poliglot/2011/03/alison-nathan-former-obama-whi.html">Alison Nathan</a> will come any time now.  She has also be nominated to the US District Court for the Southern District of New York.   In a nutshell she believes international law trumps our Constitution, she opposes the Second Amendment right to bear arms and is an aggressive homosexual activist who will seek to further <a href="http://afaofpa.org/archives/proof-of-gay-agenda/">their agenda</a> through litigation.  <a href="http://judicialactiongroup.org/data/sites/71/pdffiles/Allison%20Nathan%20Final%207611.pdf">Click here</a> for more information on Alison Nathan.   Remember, if confirmed, her decisions in New York will also impact the rest of the country.</p>
<p>3.)  Our easy tool to see how your Congressman voted on issues important to you is finally up on our website.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Action Steps</span></strong></p>
<p>1.)  Pray for the many youth in Pennsylvania and the country who are being led down the wrong path by being told &#8216;gay is okay.&#8217;  They are being taught homosexuality is natural and normal because homosexual activists know they cannot win this battle unless they convince the younger generation it&#8217;s okay to be &#8216;gay.&#8217;</p>
<p>2.)  Contact Senators Bob Casey, Jr. and Pat Toomey and ask them to vote &#8216;No&#8217; on confirmation of Alison Nathan, a highly unqualified/inexperienced judicial nominee.  <a href="http://afaofpa.org/contact-congress/us-senators/">Click here</a> for contact information.</p>
<p>3.) <a href="http://afaofpa.org/contact-congress/"> Click here </a>for the list of Pennsylvania Congressmen, from this page you can click for your Congressman&#8217;s scorecard to see how they&#8217;ve voted on important issues this year.</p>

For Immediate Release:  September 7, 2011<br />
Contact:  Diane Gramley  1.814.271.9078 or 1.814.437-5355</p>
<p>White House Honors GLSEN for Promoting Homosexuality in Schools</p>
<p>(Harrisburg) &#8212; Recently the White House named the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network (GLSEN) as one of its <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/champions">Champions of Change</a> in Week 20: Suicide Prevention.  This move again cements the Obama Administration to the promotion of homosexuality which goes hand in hand with the <a href="http://www.glsen.org/cgi-bin/iowa/all/news/record/2767.html">June 17th announcement </a>that the Department of Adolescent and School Health (DASH) at the Centers for Disease Control had given a five-year annually renewable grant to GLSEN to &#8220;identify and maintain &#8216;safe spaces&#8217; for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth&#8221; in our nation&#8217;s schools.    The American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA), a statewide traditional values group advocating for the well-being of children, notes that one of those school districts is in Philadelphia.</p>
<p>Today the AFA of PA sought some clarification on the role GLSEN will play in the district.  In an email to Judih Peterson, Coordinator of the district&#8217;s HIV prevention education program, we asked three questions:</p>
<p>1.) Since the School District of Philadelphia is a DASH-funded district, what will this partnership with GLSEN mean to the district?</p>
<p>2.) Will such a partnership distract from the real purpose of the school &#8221; to provide a high-quality education that prepares, ensures, and empowers all students to achieve their full intellectual and social potential in order to become lifelong learners and productive members of society&#8221;?</p>
<p>3.)  Have parents been informed of this new partnership?</p>
<p>&#8220;GLSEN continues to follow their former Executive Director Kevin Jennings game plan by couching their arguments around the safe schools mantra  trying to disguise their true agenda which is <a href="http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/the-real-agenda-behind-gay-anti-bullying-clubs-in-your-school?utm_source=LifeSiteNews.com+Daily+Newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=e96526a7b8-LifeSiteNews_com_US_Headlines09_06_2011&amp;utm_medium=email  ">the indoctrination of the nation&#8217;s school children with a &#8216;gay is okay&#8217; message</a>.   Most parents when they learn the true mission of GLSEN loudly oppose this indoctrination.  Additionally, taxpayers do not appreciate their tax dollars being used to promote homosexuality in the schools or elsewhere,&#8221; commented Diane Gramley, president of the AFA of PA.</p>
<p>It is quite evident the School District of Philadelphia is <a href="http://webgui.phila.k12.pa.us/offices/h/physed/programs--services/health-education-and-safety/hiv-aids2">already ignoring the facts about HIV/AIDS</a>  and is into social engineering which does not lend to an effective learning environment.   This new partnership with GLSEN will only decrease the time students should be learning academics and further discourage them in their studies of the basics needed to get a good job or go onto college.</p>
<p>&#8220;The CDC should not be partnering with an organization which promotes the very lifestyle which causes the majority of HIV/AIDS cases.  Their <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/sexualbehaviors/pdf/hiv_factsheet_ymsm.pdf">own statistics</a> show that among 13-19 year old adolescents nearly 2/3 of all new HIV infections are male to male sexual contact.  And from 2005 to 2008 13-24 year olds had the greatest percentage increase in diagnosed HIV cases of all age groups.     Clearly their tactics are not working and dumping more money into <a href="noted.  http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/yrbs/pdf/hiv/philadelphia_hiv_combo.pdf">failed programs</a> will not help,&#8221; Gramley further</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><strong>Sexual Anarchy:  The Kinsey Legacy</strong><strong></strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Judith A. Reisman, Ph.D. and Mary E. McAlister, Esq.</strong><strong></strong></p>
<p>Our children are under attack by an insidious and virulent enemy. On August 17, 2011, more than 50 activists attended a conference for “minor-attracted adults,” <em>i.e.,</em> pedophiles, which sought to eliminate the “stigma” attached to pedophilia and to redefine pedophilia as a normal “sexual orientation.” The United States Department of Justice has determined that 64 percent of forcible sodomy victims are boys under the age of 12 and that 58,200 children were kidnapped by non-family members in 1999. So-called “experts” in the field of human sexuality claim that children are sexual not only from birth, but even in the womb and are willing participants in sexual acts with adults. Children are encouraged to experiment with sex early and often and to engage in sex with members of the same-sex as well as the opposite sex. Sexually transmitted diseases among teenagers are at epidemic proportions, and new and sometimes fatal strands of diseases are being reported. More than 50,000 teens have contracted HIV which has advanced to full blown AIDS and by 1992 more than 7,000 boys and 1,500 girls have died from HIV/AIDS. How did we get here? How do we stop the madness before we lose an entire generation?</p>
<p>The question of how we got here can be answered by two words: Alfred Kinsey. Even 55 years after his death, Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey continues to profoundly affect American culture. Two of his most ardent supporters, Dr. Carol Vance, Columbia University anthropologist and lesbian activist, and Dr. John Money, an “out” pedophile advocate and pioneer of transgender surgery at Johns Hopkins, have cogently summed up Dr. Kinsey’s legacy – a legacy they consider sexual “progress” but is in reality sexual anarchy. Speaking at a 1998 Kinsey symposium of fellow sexologists at San Francisco State University, Dr. Vance said, “Biography is the battleground.&#8221; [1])  Should Kinsey be discredited, she warned, “200 years of sexual progress can be undone.” Dr. Vance’s statements echo comments made in 1981 by Dr. Money at the 5<sup>th</sup> World Congress of Sexology in Israel. They also agreed that the information contained in Table 34, below, and the other data chronicling Kinsey’s and his team’s widespread child abuse, described in detail in Kinsey’s 1948 study on male sexuality, would be the undoing of the “Pre and Post Kinsey eras” globally and in the USA. In fact, Dr. John Bancroft, director of the Kinsey Institute said at the 1998 conference, which commemorated the 50<sup>th</sup> anniversary of Kinsey’s studies, that he “prayed” that a British television program, “Secret History: Kinsey Paedophiles,” would never be shown in the United States because the public would not understand the “science” involved in  Kinsey’s publication of tables 30-34. He understood that should those tables be widely publicized in the United States, then the whole field of human sexuality and human sex education would be destroyed.</p>
<p>This field of human sexuality and human sex education and 200 years of “sexual progress” that these elite “scientists” were so worried would be destroyed is better described as sexual anarchy. This sexual anarchy that has given these scientists and their followers prestige, money, credibility and control over the deconstruction of the Judeo-Christian civil society was crafted by Dr. Kinsey. A gall-wasp zoologist at Indiana University from 1920 to his death in 1956, Dr. Kinsey is most famous for his earth-shaking books, <em>Sexual Behavior in the Human Male</em> (1948) [2] and <em>Sexual Behavior in the Human Female</em> (1953), [3]funded by Indiana University and the Rockefeller Foundation. Dr. Kinsey said that his mission was to eliminate the sexually “repressive” legal and behavioral legacy of Judeo Christianity. He claimed that this “repressive” sexual legacy was responsible for socio-sexual ills like divorce, rape, illegitimacy, venereal disease, juvenile delinquency, promiscuity, homosexuality, adultery, and child sexual abuse. Furthermore, he argued that if we Americans would admit that we really were engaged in widespread licentious conduct, instead of hypocritically denying it, then these socio-sexual ills would be dramatically reduced.</p>
<p>In large measure, Dr. Kinsey’s mission has been accomplished, mostly posthumously, by his legion of true believers–elitists who have systematically brainwashed their fellow intellectual elites to adopt Kinsey’s pan-sexual secular worldview and jettison the Judeo Christian worldview upon which this country was founded and flourished. The result of Dr. Kinsey’s mission has been totally antithetical to the utopia he predicted. Instead of reducing the socio-sexual ills that he claimed were rampant in pre-Kinsey America, the implementation of the Kinsey worldview has increased extant global sexual trauma while ushering in a host of new ills that are objectively defined as sexual anarchy. Like a cancer spreading throughout the body, sexual anarchy has spread throughout the fabric of society, affecting every aspect of American life and every man, woman and child.</p>
<p>According to the Rockefeller-funded Kinsey “study,” his “science” proved that humans had all along been copulating like insects or monkeys but systematically and hypocritically lying about their conduct. Adults claimed they were virgins, or maritally faithful, but, according to Kinsey, the truth was that most people were promiscuous and the widespread promiscuity had done no harm to the civil society. Therefore, Kinsey said, all of the laws restraining sexual behavior–the laws that had favored and protected women, children and the family for generations –were simply old-fashioned leftovers from an uninformed and hypocritical era. Such sex laws were no longer valid in a “sexually enlightened and honest era.” Enter “Kinsey’s pamphleteer,” Hugh Hefner and his <em>Playboy</em> magazine. At Kinsey’s urging, the country’s laws were gutted to resemble the free love, free life style Kinsey alleged Americans were living all along, and could finally live out with a free and open spirit–no more lies or pretense. Thus the 1955 American Law Institute Model Penal Code jettisoned the “common law” sexual standards that were based upon Biblical authority/precedent for “scientific law” based on Kinsey’s allegedly “objective data.” The ALI recommended laws trivializing rape and allowing fornication, cohabitation, sodomy and adultery. Shortly thereafter, fornication, cohabitation and adultery were decriminalized so that they would become common, normal, and harmless, as Kinsey said they had been all along. In 1957, the United States Department of Defense used Kinsey and his team to conclude that homosexuals do not pose a security risk.</p>
<p>The ALI also recommended changing the definition of obscenity, which the Supreme Court did in 1960. That same year Kinsey’s claim that 10% to 37% of the male population is at least sometimes homosexual was used to promote “gay rights” in elite professions, <em>e.g.,</em> medicine, psychiatry, social work, education, etc. In 1961, Illinois became the first state to legalize heterosexual sodomy. In 1962 Ralph Slovenko wrote in the <em>Vanderbilt Law Review </em>that four or five year olds are provocateurs: “Even at the age of four or five, this seductiveness may be so powerful as to overwhelm the adult into committing the offense.” That same year, the United States Supreme Court declared prayer in public schools unconstitutional [4] and the following year declared that Bible reading in public schools was unconstitutional. [5]  The Judeo-Christian worldview was expunged from the classroom. Schools could no longer teach that fornication, adultery or cohabitation were illegal, nor could the health teachers imply that sex should be confined to marriage because that would reflect a “religious,” thus allegedly a non-scientific, worldview. The only avenue remaining for the teaching of human reproduction was the “scientific,” <em>i.e., </em>Kinseyan, secular worldview. By 1968 over 51,000 sex professionals had been trained by the unaccredited IASHS (Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality) to teach Kinseyan sexuality in schools and medical schools and to design school sex education curricula. In 1975, the IASHS began to accredit sex educators in “safe sex” through the Ph.D. level.</p>
<p>Contraception became a necessity in the face of the radical changes in the sexual landscape and so it was legalized in 1965. [6]  As evidence of lack of “consent” became the only criteria for sex crimes, alleged rape victims were commonly challenged as “liking” the rough sex and as consenting to the sexual activity. Prostitution and rape were increasingly referred to as “victimless crimes” in the courts and in the media. Thus, the right to have sex for ‘fun’ and profit became the justification for a sex industry, inaugurated by Kinsey’s publicist, Hugh Hefner, that includes child and adult pornography, exhibitionism, prostitution and strip clubs, to name a few. That industry has grown to a multi-billion dollar market, giving its purveyors the resources and clout to negotiate grants to sexology research groups and organizations that create the sex education curricula for the nation’s schools, and access to lobbyists. and arguably, to state and federal legislators to continue to change the law to favor the sex industry’s interests. <em>Playboy, et. al</em> also have funded Planned Parenthood, Sex Information &amp; Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), the Kinsey Institute, and other “sexology” institutions. In 1967, Playboy provided the first of many grants to the ACLU to support drug use, pornography, abortion, homosexuality, school sex [mis]education and the elimination or reduction of sex offender penalties. Beginning in 1970, <em>Playboy</em> officially granted funds to NORML, the National Organization for the Repeal of Marijuana Laws.</p>
<p>The year 1969 brought about significant events related to the systematic effort to normalize homosexuality as championed by Kinsey 21 years earlier. The Gay Liberation Front was formed at the New York Alternative University. The American Sociological Association officially stated that homosexuality is normal, citing Kinsey’s “research.” The National Institutes of Mental Health Task Force on Homosexuality recommended legalizing private consensual homosexual acts (sodomy) citing to Kinsey’s “data.&#8221; [7]  In 1972, the NIMH Task Force, led by Kinseyan disciples, urged that homosexuality be taught as a normal sexual variation in the nation’s schools.</p>
<p>“No fault” divorce was ushered in by California in 1970. By 1985, no fault divorce was the law in 49 states. This triggered a massive increase in the divorce rate and the impovertization of women and children, increasing the need for welfare and abortion, with the latter legalized in 1973. [8]  The absence of fathers in the home decreased the economic, social, emotional and spiritual home life, which triggered epidemic child sexual abuse, increased promiscuity, increased criminality–including rape and prostitution–increased venereal diseases and sterility in young women. With no father in the home, children were significantly more vulnerable to molestation by older children, which was redefined as “harmless” peer sex play by Kinsey. This “harmless” sex play led to increased rates of venereal disease, promiscuity, homosexual acting out and suicide. These disorders then opened the door to additional, more virulent forms of mandated sex [mis]education couched as “pride” in one’s sexual “orientation,” anti-bullying, AIDS prevention and more instruction in “safe sex,” including mutual masturbation, oral and anal sodomy and viewing pornography. By 1981 Dr. Mary Calderone, SIECUS president and past medical director of Planned Parenthood, took Kinsey one step further, asserting that children are sexual in the womb (Kinsey said children were sexual from birth). Calderone announced that awareness of childhood sexuality was a primary goal of her organization. This set the “scientific” standard for distributing condoms to children nationwide. Therapeutic interventions were instituted to aid the now increasingly traumatized youth. Pharmocological intervention also increased, including mandated Hepatitis B vaccines for infants and HPV vaccines for elementary age children as STD “protections,” both of which were advocated in a 1977 “Child Rights” pedophile manifesto.</p>
<p>Hundreds of pages could be written on these issues and the additional fallout from Kinsey’s successful promiscuity propaganda that plummeted Reagan’s shining City on a Hill into a state of sexual anarchy. We must focus now on how we stop the madness – not by ignoring the problem or by giving up in despair. God is on our side, just as He was on the side of those who founded this country. God used 56 God-fearing men to stand up to the largest imperial force in the free world and birth this great nation. He can use us to stand up against the current state of sexual anarchy, return this nation to our Judeo-Christian roots and rescue our children from the enemy who seeks to steal, kill and dstroy. As beneficiaries of God’s miraculous creation of these United States we cannot do anything less. Kinsey and his disciples at the Kinsey Institute have had more than 60 years to re-shape American culture. With Dr. Reisman’s decades of research we have the weapons to gain the upper hand, and we must band together to create the Judeo-Christian answer to the Kinsey Institute. We have the backing of the God of the universe. We can and must win this battle.</p>

<p><a title="" href="#_ftnref1">[1]</a>               “Biography has become a battleground as moral conservatives like Dr. Judith Reisman strive to discredit Alfred Kinsey in order to revisit another America era” warned Professor Carole Vance. Another infamous sexologist stated, “I have some problems, and I&#8217;m sure several of us do, with the use of the word &#8220;normal.&#8221; If you look at sexual abuse in children, the problem with defining it is, to what extent are we talking about aspects of behavior that we would call wrong….we don&#8217;t know really how harmful those experiences are….”  (<em>November</em> 6, 1998, San Francisco State University seminar, “Kinsey At 50: Reflections On Changes In American Attitudes About Sexuality Half A Century After The Alfred Kinsey Studies,” lionizing Kinsey and addressing anarchist strategies for  a new global sexual future).</p>
