Parents and Friends of Gays and the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network are threatening to sue a member of the Pinellas County Juvenile Welfare Board for alleging the two groups promote pedophilia.

In a written memorandum addressed and circulated to the entire JWB on February 7, 2005, board member Cecilia Burke stated that GLSEN and PFLAG “endorse unhealthy sexual practices among youth, including sex between underage youth and adults.”

Acting on behalf of PFLA and GLSEN, the National Center for Lesbian Rights has demanded a public retraction and apology from the Pinellas County Juvenile Welfare Board within ten days.


gods--where do they find these freaking idiots?

3. Ah, we're back to this crap again

Always go back to the basics, I s'pose. I'd kind of hoped I'd heard the last about how I'm a child rapist, but good shock value never dies.
