Second, it is Dillon's column that strikes me as simply too bizarre to address. The homophobic fear of recruitment is particularly bizarre. The truth is, recruitment is in the opposite direction. The pressure on gay and lesbian young people to lie about who they are is incessant, sometimes unbearable. Substance abuse, suicide, marriage.
Many gay men marry straight women and many lesbian woman marry straight men.
Since Mr. Dillon has learned to use email, he should be capable of learning new things. He will read about Bruce Murray, a teenager in Seymour Indiana who was driven out of school by classmates who beat him with bibles and threatened him with death. He can also correspond by email with Bruce's mother Rhea Murray. Rhea and I and many other parents of gays would be glad to correspond with anyone who questions the importance of the work of the Billie DeFrank Center.
