If You're Straight Keep Quiet About It

Some schools across the country--and a few in South Dakota--recently took part in the pro-homosexual "Day of Silence" this week. While schools generally bend over backwards to make way for this event, students who don't see things the homosexual way sometimes encounter opposition.

From OneNewsNow:

Pastor Gardner says his 15-year-old son David, a student at Oakridge High, was suspended for a day by the school because he wrote with a black marker "I'm straight" on a piece of duct tape and attached it to his shirt. He explains that David donned the message to voice his objection to the school's participation in the Day of Silence.

I know a lawyer here in Rapid City who is an allied attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund, and so far he hasn't informed me of any problems with the "Day of Truth" counter-event that some schools in South Dakota held yesterday. Hopefully there were none.

The father of this young man in Michigan has some good advice for Christians everywhere:

It is time, says the Michigan pastor, for Christians to step to the forefront. "I tell you, I fear what's coming in the next ten years for the Church and the schools -- and children, in general -- if the Christians don't come out of their closet," he says. "The gays and lesbians want to come out of their closet; I think the Church needs to come out of their closet and stand up and be the Body of Christ that God has told it to be."
