Again, if they can keep gays hidden then it is easy to dehumanize us. Why do you think the bigots used to fight so hard to keep blacks out of schools here? You can’t dehumanize somebody to others when people interact with them every day.
The funny thing is, those religions are the first people to jump up and scream discrimination at the drop of a hat when they don’t get their way.

@Cam – You are absolutely right. And I’ve never seen a group that so vehemently opposes education–even to the minor degree of telling children such people exist–than those conservative/Christian/whatevers that oppose gay rights. I guess if you keep your head firmly planted up your a– then you’ll always be sure to have the same view! But it’s a very psychologically manipulative strategy… some serial killers even dehumanize their victims so they can do what they do. Remember, “It put the lotion on its skin…?”
“It” being the operative word.

Wow. Encouraging people to look beyond stereotypes is indoctrination? Amazing.

I do sort of feel a “test” was the wrong way to go about this, but otherwise congratulations to Ms. Sousa. More religious educators should be like her.
