By now most people are probably aware of recent attacks made by the Right-wing media on Department of Education Official Kevin Jennings, who is accused of promoting a “homosexual agenda” in our public schools, whatever that is supposed to mean. Apparently anyone wishing to be left alone to live their life as they choose is guilty of promoting some sort of agenda – though as we all know, the only real agenda being pressed here is by the forces of bigotry and intolerance. As MediaMatters for America relates the case:

Right-wing media outlets have relied on false or misleading claims by MassResistance, a Massachusetts-based anti-gay group, in advancing several recent attacks on Department of Education official Kevin Jennings. The founder of MassResistance — a group the Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled a “hate group” — reportedly denied that gays and lesbians were a target of the Holocaust and has compared the gay rights movement to the Nazis. The organization has also called on parents to keep their children home from school during an event promoting awareness of, and opposition to, anti-gay bullying and has stated that suicide prevention programs for gay and lesbian youth have no “legitimate medical or psychological basis.

To reiterate, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) calls MassResistance a “hate group.” They deny that gays and lesbians were targets of discrimination in the Third Reich and even make the bizarre comparison of the the gay rights movement to the Nazis.

I hereby name MassResistance nithings. Let them stand shamed and condemned before all for their vile and reprehensible behavior.
