Vermont Youths Learn More Than Tolerance


With the help of the Outright Vermont staff, high schools around Vermont have formed "Gay-Straight Alliances" which are homosexuality booster clubs.  Pink triangles are placed around the schools to indicate the safe places for students to come out as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender.  The Outright Vermont staff have presented homophobia workshops in the following schools:  Montpelier High, Springfield High, Essex High (POW), Essex High, Danville Middle School, Danville High, Woodstock Union High, South Burlington High, BFA St. Albans, Burlington High, Rochester High, and Colchester High.

In February, 2000, the Vermont Department of Education awarded a $12,000.00 grant to the Outright Vermont organization.  In 1997, this organization was awarded $121,575.00 (to be disbursed over a three  year period) from the Vermont Department of Health.  Some funded events included:  "Safer Sex Parties" for "fun explorations of sexuality and safer sex activities"; social events including dances and city balls; weekend retreats for the recruitment of youth in which "all retreat participants practiced and were evaluated on their barrier use skills."

Outright Vermont, based in Burlington, maintains a Drop-In Center staffed by youth between the ages of 14 and 22.  This center is a "fun place for GLBTQ youth to hang out, meet other young people, watch movies, play games, and surf the internet."  They provide safer sex supplies, bleach kits, videos, 1500 books and magazines.  Other supplies provided include condoms, dental dams, latex gloves, female condoms, and lubrication.

Gay and lesbian activists are planning to brainwash children across the US.  They have developed a video called "Its Elementary:  Talking about Gay Issues in School" which will instruct educators across the US in promoting the homosexual lifestyle.  Debra Chasnoff, one of the producers states "What's clear in the film is that the younger the kids, the more open they were...if we could start doing this education in kindergarten, first grade, second grade, we'd have a better generation."
