ACTON, MASSACHUSETTS, November 14, 2007 (LideSiteNews.com) - A recent report by
MassResistence, a Massachusetts pro-family action group, has revealed the
extent to which the homosexual lobbies have infiltrated the state school system
and use vulnerable youth to further their cause.
A situation described in the report began when a 17-year-old special-needs
student, Claudia Contrada, daughter of MassResistance staffer Amy Contrada, was
transfered from the private parochial school she had attended to the public
school system. This seemed a good choice to Claudia's adoptive parents because
of the greater availability of special-needs support.
Though Claudia, of Korean ancestry, has learning disabilities and
psychological/emotional issues she is talented in singing and especially
acting. Her therapists said participating in her school's drama program would
be very beneficial for her. She is described as having a beautiful voice and a
fantastic memory for lines and lyrics.
When the play Claudia's high school drama club planned to perform was made
known ("The Laramie Project"), her parents were dismayed by the
pro-homosexual, anti-Christian messages it contained. After meetings with
school officials failed to persuade them to choose a different play, they
reluctantly decided to allow her to participate because of her special
educational and emotional needs although. It is not yet known if any special
arrangements were requested to protect Amy from participating in any of the
more objectional parts of the play.
This is when the full extent of the aggressive homosexual activism in the
school was revealed. Claudia, known to be from a stongly traditional principles
family, was assigned a high school guidance counselor who was the school's
gay-straight alliance club advisor. The school drama director gave Claudia reading
material normalizing homosexuality and demonizing those with traditional values
as "haters", in preparation for play rehearsals.
As rehearsals continued, Claudia heard references to her mother being a
"homophobe" and a "bigot" because she had objected to the
play being presented in the school.
According to the MassResistence report, when Claudia told her mother and father
that she thought she was lesbian, "They basically ignored it as another
silly idea that Claudia got from the latest school lunacy, and nothing more. Claudia
doesn't really understand what "lesbian" is. It was all about getting
attention. They did worry that she was starting to hang out with some very
strange kids who had their own emotional problems stemming from "gay"
and "transgender" identity issues."
On Sept. 26, Mark Snyder, a 24-year-old homosexual activist from Boston, posted
a "news item" on his website titled "Anti-gay zealot's daughter
to star in Laramie Project."
From there on, Claudia had become a "cause célèbre" for the
homosexual lobbyists in Massachusetts, who have gone so far as to create a
Facebook account for her where she began to receive messages encouraging her to
"come out" as a lesbian, contact other homosexual groups and give
interviews to homosexual newspapers. She was contacted by a Boston Globe
reporter who tried to convince her to do a newspaper interview without her
parents' prior knowledge or consent.
Mass Resistance reports on its website that "Claudia's pre-existing issues
were exacerbated to such a degree that her health professionals and parents
finally concluded that at the very least she needed to leave Acton-Boxborough
High School." Brian Camenker of MassResistence confirmed to
LifeSiteNews.com today that Claudia has been taken out of the school and
"so far the gays haven't found her."
