Under a decision by the state Board of Education, Maryland students soon will learn that homosexuality, bisexuality and transvestitism are normal sexual variations. They also will be taught that anyone who holds traditional religious or moral beliefs about homosexuality is "homophobic."
With help from the Thomas More Law Center, pro-family groups are appealing the decision to the Montgomery County Circuit Court.
“I’m impressed with the principled and steadfast opposition by these pro-family groups to this outrageously hedonistic and life-threatening sexuality curriculum," said Richard Thompson, president and chief counsel of the Law Center. "The Law Center will do everything we can to assist them in their fight.”
The pro-family groups oppose the program on several grounds: (1) it teaches students that homosexuality is “innate”; (2) it teaches students that anal sex is just another sexual option without warning students of the increased HIV/AIDS risk, even with a condom; (3) it labels as “homophobic” children who hold traditional religious or moral beliefs about homosexuality; and (4) it teaches students that transgenderism is just another “sexual orientation.”
