High school hosts 'National Coming Out'

A Maryland high school is observing "National Coming Out Week" with events organized by the campus Gay/Straight Alliance, prompting protests from parents.

The activities at Pikesville High School in Pikesville, Md., near Baltimore – all approved by school officials – include pink and rainbow shirt day and a homosexual film festival, according to local WJZ-TV.

An angry father told the station he believes students shouldn't have to be exposed to this kind of event.

"This one sent me over the edge," said Duane Johnson. "They're asking the straight students to wear pink in support of the gay and lesbian agenda, coming out and coming out strong here."

The observance, which began Monday, encourages homosexuals to admit their sexual preference to others and encourages heterosexuals to show support.

The event comes as Time magazine's controversial cover story on "gay teens" is being denounced by critics as blatant homosexual propaganda – which is not surprising, since the Time journalist who researched and wrote the story is a homosexual with a long history of advancing "gay" causes, including the promotion of anonymous homosexual orgies.

Many Pikesville parents, noticing the police presence, found out about the observance for the first time when they arrived Monday morning at the school campus.

Parent Sherry Gholson told the Baltimore station, "I don't think it's something that should be done in high school. Again it's a personal preference. I think it's something that should be looked at at home."

School Principal Dorothy Hardin says she understands the concerns of parents but believes they shouldn't worry because the message is tolerance, understanding and awareness.

There won't be any school-sponsored activities, she explained, and it's a club event in which students are not required to participate.

"This is not a day where students were going to go on morning announcements and come out," Hardin said. "They are not going to be presenting themselves as coming out. The message of our students are one of tolerance, understanding, awareness. Those elements are part of the American quilt."

She said she could understand that "parents might be concerned if this was a group that was proselytizing. They are not."

"National Coming Out Week" is observed on many college campuses nationwide.
