Hate Group "Mission America" Publishes Vicious "Guide to Homosexuality" for Youths

One thing that frequency amazes me is the way that those with ZERO scientific or mental health credentials and ZERO legitimate theological credentials time and time again set themselves up in "ministries" that use religious exemptions to avoid taxes and enrich themselves while disseminating hate and bigotry.  A case in point is "Mission America," a Southern Poverty Law Center registered hate group and its founder Linda Harvey who in my view is mentally disturbed.  Harvey is absolutely obsessed with homosexuality and I can't help but wonder what twisted aspects of the woman's psyche drives her to hate gays so intensely and dwell on us incessantly.  It goes without saying that in Harvey's alternate universe world, the findings of legitimate medical and mental health experts mean nothing.  Now, Harvey's hate group/Ministry has released a new "guide" for parents to use to brainwash and terrorize their children and also give youth a green light to engage in anti-gay bullying.    Think Progress looks at this batshitery and the lies and false information that Harvey is peddling.  Here are excerpts:

The hate group Mission: America has released a new guide for talking to kids about homosexuality. In it, Linda Harvey glosses over Bible verses — when the mob attempted to gang-rape the angels in Sodom, they “made life very hard for people in their community” — as she teaches kids that being gay is “sin” and “it’s always wrong”:
But once in a while, a man wants to date and love another man, or a woman wants to date and love a woman. Most cultures long ago decided this was very wrong. And they made rules against it, for a lot of good reasons (more grown-up stuff). First of all, two men can never create their own child. Neither can two women. And two men kissing– well, it just doesn’t seem right. That’s because it isn’t!
She goes on to explain that bullying is also “always wrong,” but so is telling people that being gay or transgender is okay:
BUT… it’s not right to tell someone that being homosexual is okay. The person may be feeling sad because of being bullied, but never try to make him or [sic] feel better by saying “gay” is okay.

Kids who are overweight are sometimes bullied, too. And we might want to make that person feel better. But it would be a mistake to say that overeating is a good thing, right? So tell your friends, in a nice way, that no one needs to be “gay” or pretend to be the other gender. It’s not the right thing to do.
Harvey is directly encouraging young people to bully their LGBT peers. She rejects the notion that sexual orientation and gender identity are innate, core identities as social science has repeatedly explained. That “grown-up stuff” gets in the way of the Biblical condemnations she wants to proliferate in schools.
 The so-called "Guide" can be viewed here on the hate group's website.  Remember this while you read the propaganda:  Linda Harvey has ZERO credentials in the areas of medicine or mental health.  Her sole support for her lunacy is her reading of the Old Testament - a book written by ignorant, uneducated nomadic herders.
