| This year’s version of the annual homosexual
grassroots conference “Creating Change” features such workshops as
“Drag 101” for youth; sadomasochism (S&M) advocacy under the guise
of “sexual freedom”; a “polyamory” (multiple sex partners)
workshop; and a discussion led by an S&M activist that will include a
look at laws regulating “intergenerational sex” (pedophilia).
Some 2,000 homosexual activists are expected to gather in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, for the four-day conference, November 7-11, put on by the
National Gay Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF). Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin),
an open lesbian, is a featured speaker at the event, which is sponsored by
American
Airlines.
“Intergenerational sex” is a homosexual activist code word for sex
between men and young boys — used by the notorious North American Man
Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), an organization that the NGLTF has
officially condemned. The euphemistic term is found in a description of a
workshop listed in the Task Force’s program for the “Creating
Change” event:
Your Eyes Say Yes But the Law Says No: … This workshop, using
audience volunteers and role-playing, will analyze the laws regulating
conduct such as queer sex, BDSM (Bondage, Discipline, Sadism,
Masochism), rape, intergenerational sex, marital and extra-marital sex.
One of the presenters at the workshop is Susan Wright, a sadomasochism
activist with the New York-based group National Coalition for Sexual
Freedom, which lobbies police agencies not to arrest sadomasochists who
engage in “consensual” sexual violence and degradation (whipping,
beating and humiliating each other for pleasure).
Wisconsin Christians United (WCU) is planning a series of events Friday
and Saturday to protest the conference. CFI senior policy analyst Peter
LaBarbera will join WCU director and pastor Ralph Ovadal at a WCU press
conference Friday morning at 10:00 outside the Hyatt Regency Hotel, where
the event is being held. Later that evening, LaBarbera and Ovadal will
speak at a WCU-sponsored rally to expose the Task Force’s extremism.
ACLU REPRESENTED
Also speaking at “Creating Change” is Anthony Romero, the executive
director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and an open
homosexual. The ACLU is defending NAMBLA in a Massachusetts case springing
from the horrific rape and murder of a 10-year-old boy, Jeffrey Curley.
Thus far, the NGLT conference is drawing favorable coverage from the
Milwaukee media, who perhaps have not examined the planned agenda. Among
the other workshops are the following:
- Bringing Homosexuality Out of the Closet and Into the Classroom
- Drag 101: How to Turn Kids in Makeup into Kings and Queens
[mentioned above]
- Selective Law Enforcement: Lewd Laws and Gay Men
- Leather Caucus
- GenderQueer Across Generations: Listening to Each Other
- The Growing SM-Leather-Fetish Movement
- Poly Wants More Than One Cracker: Polyamory in a Culture Dependent
upon Coupledom
- Advocacy in Action: Getting Your School on Board
- Butch/Femme Dialogue
- Bisexual, Heteroflexible, No Label At All: On Campus and Beyond
One of the all-day “pre-conference institutes” on Thursday will
feature more than 20 “transgender” revolutionaries. It is called
“Gender Splendor: Mobilizing A Diverse Movement for Gender Freedom and
Transgender/Intersex … Equality.”
MEDIA DOUBLE STANDARD?
“My hope is that the Milwaukee media would apply the same critical eye
to the ‘Creating Change’ conference as it would to a convention put on
by religious conservatives,” LaBarbera said. “The Task Force
constantly smears its opponents as ‘extreme’ and ‘radical,’ but
it’s obvious from this program who the real radicals are.”
“Wisconsin Christians United is going to make sure that every
conference attendee hears what God says about homosexual acts and that
every attendee hears the Gospel of Jesus Christ,” Ovadal said in a news
release.
