Front group for NARTH posing as pediatric group distributing homophobic information to schools

Earlier last month, over 14,000 school district superintendents in the country were sent a letter by a group called the American College of Pediatricians inviting them to peruse and use information from a new site, Facts About Youth, which was created to supposedly help young adults. The website says the following:

Facts is a non-political, non-religious channel presenting the most current facts on the subject. Facts is committed to advancing a school environment in which all students will experience the opportunity to achieve optimal health and safety, even in the midst of differing worldviews. Facts is intended to be a resource to promote the factual and respectful discussion of these potentially divisive issues. This is a web site for and about youth and their needs.

The web site also claims that it was created to combat some medical organizations who supposedly because of "political correctness" misrepresent science to affirm unhealthy lifestyles as normal behavior.

Facts About Youth sounds as legitimate as the organization behind its creation, the American College of Pediatricians. That is until you read the so-called facts it posts about the gay community, such as:

Some gay men sexualize human waste, including the medically dangerous practice of coprophilia, which means sexual contact with highly infectious fecal wastes

To put it succinctly, Facts About Youth is a fraud not unlike the eugenics movement . What Facts About Youth does is push almost every anti-gay talking point and distortion repeated by various religious right groups over the past 30 years under the guise of unbiased research.

Who leads the ACP?

# Dean Byrd – past president of NARTH and influential in Evergreen, the Mormon ex-gay group
# Joe Nicolosi – the founder of NARTH and current board member
# George Rekers – NARTH board member, Christian reconstructionist, and closely associated with Paul Cameron. Rekers once recommended banning Native Americans from being able to adopt.
# Arthur Goldberg – founder of Jewish ex-gay group, JONAH. Goldberg was recently removed from NARTH’s board when he was exposed as a con-man with a felony record.
# Rick Fitzgibbons – member of NARTH’s Scientific Advisory Committee and the Catholic Medical Association.
# John Raney – The only information we have on Raney is that he was part of the Editorial/Review board for Paul Cameron’s self-promoting (single issue) Empirical Journal of Same-Sex Sexual Behavior.

NARTH and Paul Cameron treat being gay like it's an infectious disease, they need to be exposed for their hate and attempts to infiltrate our schools ASAP.

And what's even more disturbing is that so many people actually fall for this crap.

to allow the distribution of this garbage to the students, without the least bit of research into how vile these douchebags are!
