SO...here is wherein the problem lies....and where we get our carefully-worded harassment policy. Read on..
"The following is the Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) online definition of “homophobia.” The ADL is the leading advocate for federal and state “hate crimes” laws that are inclusive of homosexuality and gender confusion (”sexual orientation” and “gender identity”). Note the bolded portions below and how the ADL seemingly gives no ground for acceptable religious and moral opposition to homosexual behavior. This is important because currently many governmental agencies and “hate crime” law advocates rely on the ADL for definitions of “hate,” “prejudice,” etc. To read an online ADL report on Hate Crime Laws, click HERE. To see the ADL’s recommendation of the pro-homosexual “Heather Has Two Mommies” as an “anti-bias book for children,” click HERE."

I have a couple problems with this. First off, I was reading your introduction to the blog and I was literally taken back (after reading this post) when you said not to "attack" - to "do unto others..."
I'm just going to say it - homosexuals scare Christians. I don't understand why you can't accept it (even if it is a sin) and move forward. By expressing your opinions into their life, it does nothing but stop the holy spirit dead in it's tracks.
Christian's are SO quick to judge homosexuals and never take a look at themselves in the mirror.
Let me finish with this - "what would Jesus do?"
(Oh, and by the way...I'm a Christian and have been one my whole life; I am not afraid to have gay friends and am not afraid to treat them as human beings)
Thanks for your comment. Let me help to explain some things.
There is not a fear of homosexuals noted on my blog. What I am simply trying to do is note that homosexuality, like beastiality and other forms of sexual behaviors, are "choices." Sexual orientation, which would INCLUDE homosexuality, does not belong as a "protected class" any more than those who are practicing pedophilia or any other sexual behaviors.
As well, I was pointing out the source from where the issue lies, i.e., where the wording is coming from.
I agree with you 100% in that all are deserving of the love of Christ. I am trying to make it clear that we don't all have to sort people out into sexual-preference categories when talking about harassment in the schools (or anywhere else, for that matter). Harassment is wrong for EVERYONE.
