It used to be learn in the course of a congressional debate by way of former Congressman William Dannemeyer, who additionally entered it into the Congressional list. here's a brief excerpt from that stunning assertion: we will sodomize your sons, trademarks of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow desires and vulgar lies. we will seduce them on your colleges, on your dormitories, on your gymnasiums, on your locker rooms, on your activities arenas, on your seminaries, on your early life teams, on your movie show toilets, on your military bunkhouses, on your truck stops, on your all-male golf equipment, on your homes of Congress, anywhere males are with males jointly. Your sons becomes our minions and do our bidding. they are going to be recast in our snapshot. they're going to come to crave and adore us. All legislation banning gay task should be revoked. as a substitute laws might be handed which engenders love among males. All homosexuals needs to stand jointly as brothers; we has to be united artistically, philosophically, socially, politically, and financially. we are going to triumph in simple terms after we current a typical face to the vicious heterosexual enemy. The family members unit —spawning floor of lies, betrayals, mediocrity, hypocrisy and violence —will be abolished. The household, which purely dampens mind's eye and curbs unfastened will, has to be eradicated. ideal boys could be conceived and grown within the genetic laboratory. they are going to be bonded jointly in a communal environment, below the keep watch over and guideline of gay savants. All church buildings who condemn us could be closed. Our in simple terms gods are good-looking younger males. We adhere to a cult of attractiveness, ethical and esthetic.

[174] this text, which outraged conservative Christians and lots of different americans, was once greeted with a shrug via most of the people and via participants of Congress.

I don’t recognize. under no circumstances all gay activists may ascribe to them. it's transparent, notwithstanding, that our boys must be shielded from sexual abuse, if it is gay or heterosexual in personality. shield them evening and day once they are younger. Don’t ship them right into a public toilet by myself. Be very cautious whom you belief in summer time camp, in Sunday tuition, or in the community.
