LGBT History Month originated in the United States and was first celebrated in 1994. It was founded by Missouri high-school history teacher Rodney Wilson. Among early supporters and members of the first coordinating committee were Kevin Jennings of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN); Kevin Boyer of Gerber/Hart Gay and Lesbian Library and Archives in Chicago; Paul Varnell, writer for the Windy City Times; Torey Wilson, Chicago area teacher; Johnda Boyce, women's studies major at Columbus State University and Jessea Greenman of UC-Berkeley. Many gay and lesbian organizations supported the concept early on. In 1995, the National Education Association indicated support of LGBT History Month as well as other history months by resolution at its General Assembly.
October was chosen by Wilson as the month for the celebration because National Coming Out Day already was established as a widely known event, on October 11, and October commemorated the first march on Washington by LGBT people in 1979. LGBT History Month is intended to encourage honesty and openness about being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.
On June 2, 2000, President Bill Clinton declared June 2000 "Gay & Lesbian Pride Month". President Barack Obama declared June 2009 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Pride Month 2009 on June 1, 2009.
I hope that you noticed liberal presidents foisted this "movement" on the American public. In February 2011, Obama decided not to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) by executive decree. When he was questioned by Pastor Rick Warren at the Saddleback Church during the 2008 presidential election year, he stated that marriage is only between a man and a woman. Since he will not support DOMA, that says he would never support California's Proposition 22 (before his time) or Proposition 8 (ongoing debate on legality). Both are in favor of only heterosexual marriages.
"Don't ask, don't tell" (DADT) was the official United States policy on homosexuals serving in the military from December 21, 1993 to September 20, 2011. The policy prohibited military personnel from discriminating against or harassing closeted homosexual or bisexual service members or applicants, while barring openly gay, lesbian, or bisexual persons from military service.The policy prohibited people who "demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual acts" from serving in the armed forces of the United States, because their presence "would create an unacceptable risk to the high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that are the essence of military capability". The "don't ask" part of the DADT policy specified that superiors should not initiate investigation of a service member's orientation without witnessing disallowed behaviors, though credible evidence of homosexual behavior could be used to initiate an investigation. Unauthorized investigations and harassment of suspected servicemen and women led to an expansion of the policy to "don't ask, don't tell, don't pursue, don't harass".
A congressional bill to repeal DADT was enacted in December 2010, specifying that the policy would remain in place until the President, the Secretary of Defense, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff certified that repeal would not harm military readiness, followed by a 60-day waiting period. A July 6, 2011 ruling from a federal appeals court barred further enforcement of the U.S. military's ban on openly gay service members. President Barack Obama, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen, sent that certification to Congress on July 22, 2011, which set the end of DADT for September 20, 2011. Contrary to liberal media reports that 70% of the troops support open homosexual service, the real number is 91% reject open homosexual service.
Can you deduce where this liberal president stands on these moral issues? Are these some of the "CHANGES" that he and his liberal democrats promised in 2008?
Here in California, Gov Jerry Brown signed SB48 (July 2011) - the LGBT 'Role Models' bill. I always thought that a role model was someone you looked up to and tried to emulate. What is there to emulate when it comes to perversion? "Jerry Brown has trampled the parental rights of the broad majority of California mothers and fathers who don't want their children to be sexually brainwashed", said Randy Thomasson, president of SaveCalifornia.com, which helped lead the opposition to SB 48. "SB 48 has no parental opt-out. The only way parents can opt-out their kids from this immoral indoctrination is to opt them out the entire public school system, which is no longer for morally-sensitive parents and their children".
"It's ridiculous that Jerry Brown says he's making history 'honest'", Thomasson added. "The bill he signed prohibits teachers and textbooks from telling children the facts that homosexuality has the highest rate of HIV/AIDS and other STDs, higher cancer rates, and earlier deaths. These important facts about lifestyles children while being forced to admire will be omitted. And Brown calls this 'honest'? This revisionist history will actually make more children believe a lie -- that homosexuality is biological, which it's not, and healthy, which is isn't".
"California government schools are no longer morally safe for impressionable children", Thomasson said. "Because of the raft of sexual indoctrination laws already in force, which promote homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality under the guise of 'discrimination' and 'harassment', the social engineers are having their way with more than six million boys and girls. Now that Jerry Brown has signed SB 48, we strongly urge loving parents to rescue their children by permanently removing them from government schools and placing them in the safe havens of church schools or homeschooling".

Let us look into both the Old and New Testaments and quote chapter and verse. For those who think the Bible is passe - guess again. It is the most widely read book of all time! I have read the NIV version for many years.
Genesis 19:3-5. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom - both young and old - surrounded the house. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them". Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by the wrath of God.
Leviticus 18:22. "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable...." Same-sex sexual behavior is condemned.
Leviticus 20:13. "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must both be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads...." Again, same-sex sexual behavior is condemned.
Romans 1:26-27. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.... All homosexual behavior is unnatural.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolators nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders ... will inherit the kingdom of God. Sexually active homosexuals will go to Hell, not Heaven, at death.
1 Timothy 1:9-10. We also know that law is not made for good men but for law breakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious...for adulterers and perverts...and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine that conforms to the glorious gospel of the blessed God,... Same-sex sexual behavior is condemned.
Jude 1:7 In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire. Sexually active homosexuals will go to Hell, not Heaven, at death.

In closing this Post, I can find no supportive statement that speaks to the LGBT movement as being morally acceptable. One thing is sure it should never be forced into the minds of our school children, at any level!
