This issue is in NO WAY intended to be “homophobic” or “hateful.” In fact, it is quite the opposite. When a person warns another of danger, it is a loving act. We are trying to warn those involved in homosexual behavior of its dangers, both physically and spiritually, out of a heart of love. We are not ashamed to say that homosexuality is offensive to God and will be punished, but we understand that all sin is offensive to God and worthy of his wrath.
None of us needs to stay in our sins. God has provided a way out through the sacrifice of his son, Jesus. He bore the wrath of God for sinners so that they would not have to. He was raised from the dead to prove that he had power over both sin and death. This power is given to us through Christ when we repent and believe.
We no longer have to stay bound to sins like homosexuality, or greed, or lust, or gossip, or pride. We can be free from these prisons! It is NOT unloving to point out certain danger and urge someone to avoid it. We love homosexuals, and that is why we printed this paper.
Repent of your sins and believe the truth about Jesus Christ, for the sake of your own soul!

This is one of the most offensive things i have ever read. i’m not even gay and i was still offended by it. you can’t compare homosexuals to pedophiles, its not illegal to be gay. and as for the diseases, you can get all of those from opposite sex partners. this is not something that should be passed out at my high school and actions are going to be taken if something like this finds it way into my school again.

Did god not give us the ability to reason and make our own choices? so homosexuals have the choice to be homosexual. you all listen to a book that wasn’t even written by the “lord” himself but by monks in the later centuries after. This is why until there is proof of a “all mighty lord” i will stick to doing my own thing. Religion does not belong in school and therefore this was the wrong thing to do… why not go out on the street or something and hand out things like the KKK does. That is right, by you all doing this i compare you to the KKK a truly evil group!

You all keep bringing up diseases, but I see nothing being said about sexually transmitted diseases in the article above.If you are going to attack VOAT or say what’s wrong about it, at least say something to an issue that the article is dealing with.

Dylan, what’s wrong with it? Nothing in any of America’s laws can ban us spreading the paper. Your school can, but I must say, it’s unconstitutional. You and I both have the freedom of speech.
Read my article on one of the other posts on this blog. There is evidence that stands and cannot be shot down that a gay lifestyle is completely unhealthy.
Actions have already been taken. One of your teachers called some students “morons.” Tell me how this is fair. We’re passing out this tract and we get someone on our blog with a name that says “ha i laugh at your stupidity.” Tell me how that is any fairer than what we’re doing.

I agree with dylan.
Dont bring this ***** into the schools.
All around me i see kids who are struggling to grow up in this twisted society and the last thing they need is some ignorant anti homosexual publication teaching them more hate.
Dylan, do you want to know how i solved this problem? I put one of the kids handing these things out in the hospital. And when I get back to school I will do the same and enlist everyone i know to do the same until it stops

Penrod,
All you can do is hurt someone in response to something you disagree with? Sounds like we aren’t the hateful ones. We’re just passing out papers, not hurting anybody. If you don’t like it, throw it away and don’t read it. Don’t hurt other people just because you disagree with them.

FIRST OF ALL this is NOT something that should be passed out in an elementary or even a middle school, and I know it has been. That in itself is an act of molestation on the minds of young children that are either unaware of sex even being a thing, or already becoming confused about their own minds. This article is disgusting. There are no physical dangers to homosexuality, any more than hetero. The same diseases are spread through sex, no matter what. It may be true that “christians” find it wrong, but that is an opinion based on mythology, and should not be pushed on the rest of the world. There are PHYSICAL differences in the brains of homosexual individuals; it is not caused by “sin”. Oh no, the devil made me want to touch another girl!! What a laugh. When will the world wake up and realize it is wasting its time worrying about such trivial things as this? Why don’t you focus your time on helping people that really need it, such as those with learning disorders or crack heads for parents. I myself used to be “christian” (thank god i got over that, no pun intended). I am not homosexual, but even as a religious person I was intellegent enough to realize that homosexuality is not a “problem”. It is merely a physical difference. Maybe you should research the increasing occurrence of hermaphroditic children and how they can’t even tell what they are yet, let alone what they like. You are an assault on these young minds.

danielle, I’m pretty sure this was handed out in only one middle school, and even then, just about any middle school kid knows what sex is.
There are plenty of physical dangers to homosexuality, and more so than hetero. Read the article I posted in another discussion. There is undeniable evidence that homosexuals have less of a life span than hetero.
