Family advocates are outraged by a prom held at Boston City Hall that was open to children apparently as young as 12 featuring crossdressers, homosexual heavy petting, suspected drug use and a leather-clad doorman who teaches sexual bondage classes.
Didn't hear a damn thing about this, but IF it's true and not some right wing propaganda smear tactic, then this is just too sick for my twisted gay brain to comprehend....lets just say I'm old school. This is just my opinion and it's worth what you paid for it.
This is probably both true and a right-wing smear tactic. The journalist and his plant both did great jobs making a gay prom sound like a nightmare bacchanalia, but the only criminal activity (iirc) that they actually documented was one girl taking a toot of pot off a glass pipe. This--and much worse, I can assure you--happens at pretty much any prom, anywhere, as it has for decades now. The rest just sounds horrible until you reflect on what has been written and try to pick out the reality of the situation from their twisted perception of the goings-on. For instance, sometimes people wear "I recruit" t-shirts not because they are actually amassing an army of homosexuals somewhere, but because it appeals to their sense of humor. At any rate, if you want to argue about "recruitment," there are scores more sources "recruiting" kids and teens into the heterosexual lifestyle than the gay one, and such behavior is condoned by society when it even notices that it is happening, which it usually doesn't.
Let me finish my mini-rant here by repeating that following a "news source" like the ultra-conservative, ultra-Christian WorldNetDaily's RSS feed has many hidden benefits for, say, your average gay man. It opens your eves to a strange new perspective on life, which helps you understand and, over time, even sympathize (or at least pity) those with beliefs radically different from your own. This also helps you stave off inflexibility in your own thought patterns. (You can get "stuck" in your liberal viewpoints just as surely as the contributors to this article are imprisoned in their own world-view. In a way, the fact that none of the major gay media outlets decided this prom was worth reporting on is an example of what I'm talking about... which in itself is another good reason to read WND!)
