I posted this link as news because I think it is is news when 8000 public schools participate in an event but somehow the forums took this off the site without changng it to another forum site so I am posting this again under this forum.

Why would this not be of interest to catholic parents?:confused:: Public and some catholic schools will be participating in the Day of Silence on Friday, April 19th which promotes the gay agenda.

Here is the link.

I would say it would be time for all faithful Catholic students to speak up and sing in the hallways of their schools.

Seriously, Catholic students should participate in Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity (to be silent for babies who will never have the chance to speak because they were murdered in their mothers’ wombs)

It occurs in October of each year.

From the website:
The Day of Silence is a student-led national event that brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. Students from middle school to college take a vow of silence in an effort to encourage schools and classmates to address the problem of anti-LGBT behavior by illustrating the silencing effect of bullying and harassment on LGBT students and those perceived to be LGBT.
It is not a day that is trying to push the gay agenda, it is a day that is promoting awareness and trying to stop bullying and name calling.

I don’t care what someone has done, there is no room or place for bullying or discrimination. These things are always immoral.

Remember we are called to love the sinner but hate the sin. I do not think schools should be promoting the gay lifestyle as it is morally wrong, but I have no problem with people trying to raise awareness that it is not ok to bully or make fun of those that are gay, as that is also morally wrong.

My daughter told me about this yesterday that this would be happening in her high school today…

She said that her and her friends who are pro-life and support the traditional relationship between 1 man and 1 woman will not be silent today…they plan to let their voices be heard in the hallways and in their lunch period. They plan on talking and will not be silenced by the right to speak. In fact, she wondered if these students who are gay would be willing to support her and her freinds in what they believe???

Thank you for providing the link to silentday.org supporting the unborn. I will give this to her and her friends to promote in their school.

I understand what you are saying.

I believe we need to speak with love to them, and explain it is because we care for them and desire their salvation. If we show contempt and hostility then we do not have the mind of Christ.

I repeat, we do need to speak about what we truly believe, and we need to pray beforehand in order to do it with the mind of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

This event has been going on since 1990’s.

Are the schools the place to do this?
 
The false assumption that only “gays” get bullied and only “gays” are victims of anything really irritates me. I was bullied a lot when I was a kid, and I’m straight. Bullying happens to anyone who is different in any way. And this campaign against bullying “gays” is like saying that other kinds of bullying are acceptable and that the only kind not acceptable is when it happens to “gays” which is giving them a special protected social status. Our government is currently bullying Christians with the HHS mandate. The “gay” activists only get more and more aggressive in trying to force everyone to accept their sinful behavior as normal.
  • Repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” in the military wasn’t enough for them.
  • Obama declaring June “Gay Pride Month” wasn’t enough for them.
  • Giving them “Civil Unions” wasn’t enough for them.
Nothing is ever enough for them.

I think their “day of silence” will turn into a demand for a law enforced year-round silence everywhere for anyone who won’t agree with their sinful behavior. Just as it happened with contraception and divorce, the Catholic Church will be practically the last one standing that doesn’t accept homosexual behavior as normal.

If it is about raising awareness of bullying why is it called “LGBT Day of Silence”. I doubt they are the only children being bullied. When I was in school 25yrs ago I was bullied by some girls because I was a virgin. I can only imagine how a girl might be treated now for being chaste. Do they have a day of silence for virgins? I can remember kids being bullied because they didn’t look just right or maybe didn’t wear the right clothes. Do they have a day of silence for “geeks”?

You are right, no one should be bullied, but if the day was about bullying, they would not single out “LGBT”. Since they do, it seems it’s more of pushing acceptance of their lifestyle than anti-bullying. IMO

Then call it what it is then. When you call something LGBT DAY OF SILENCE,people naturally draw conclusions that its exclusive to LGBT! How about “DONT BE A BULLY DAY”? I don’t believe for a second that this day of silence is about not bullying. It would be called that if it were. God Bless.

I wish I could go one day without hearing about homosexuality and gay marriage.

There are endless stories about it on the radio and TV news. It is in every newspaper, magazine and news website. Even CAF seems to be obsessed with discussing homosexuality and gay marriage.

I would welcome a day of silence where it wasn’t discussed.

The reason it’s on CAF is because it’s everywhere else. Plus, a lot of threads get started in CAF by “gay” activists attempting to convert us to it. The whole world seems to be turning into one big Sodom and Gomorrah.
 
Who is supposed to be silent ?

I mean if no one would speak of this entire travesty for a day… ok. But if only the traditional view point is silenced then, No way.

I would appreciate your sorting this all out in simple terms…

GSA?

GLSEN…I figured out…

What is this day of Silence?

What is it intended to accomplish?

What is it you believe anyone can do?

Exactly! Just as labeling certain crimes as"hate crimes" is redundant.Aren’t all crimes agains humanity borne out of hate?
 
To all of you who are responding ‘why is this singling out the LGBT community? everyone gets bullied.’ I would submit that this is not just about bullying, but about the acts of violence that the LGBT community has sustained. I was bullied in school too. I was never beat up and left for dead because of who I was attracted to.

This can be taken to an extreme. Intolerance of bullying itself requires a discrimination; and if we fail to do this we will inevitably blame the guiltless. We are effectively (as a society) trying to “out-bully” (intimidate) the bullies, but we realize that this is not itself immoral. Notwithstanding, there is no question in my mind that programmes such as this one are promoting an agenda and trying to demonize any and all opposition to homosexualism, which is gravely immoral. Homosexual behaviour is always wrong. No one is more guilty of unlawful intolerance, discrimation and general hate-mongering than the promoters of the homosexualist cause: it is absolutely wrong to hate someone because they suffer from SSA - this is no revelation to Christians, but the belief is promoted as if it were; but it is also wrong to actively promote hatred and intolerance of Christians, which the promoters and defenders of the homosexualist cause chronically do. They are hateful people.
Remember we are called to love the sinner but hate the sin. I do not think schools should be promoting the gay lifestyle as it is morally wrong, but I have no problem with people trying to raise awareness that it is not ok to bully or make fun of those that are gay, as that is also morally wrong.
We should not and never tolerate evil behaviour : we must discriminate always between the good and the evil; promoting hatred under the auspices of tolerance and brotherly love is itself extremely evil and perverted. We never hear these people ask for or speak of tolerance and acceptance of Christians; not surprisingly, most Christians dismiss these programs as rank hypocrisy. Implicit in many of these programmes is that it is right and good to hate Christians or Christianity; also implicit is a belief that Christians need to learn or be taught brotherly love, which is of course a terrible slander. We should demand and require in any and every general promotion of brotherly love or tolerance, etc. that Christians be explicitly included, and that moreover the fact be again explicitly affirmed that Christianity has always believed in good-will and brotherly love toward and between men. If the promoters are unwilling to meet these requirements, then we can expose them for promoting a hateful agenda: we can expose them for promoting hatred, intolerance and ignorance.

The promoters of these causes have a responsibility to promote tolerance of Christians generally: we are after all being murdered in many places around the world for our beliefs, and this is nearly always on account of general ignorance of what Christians believe and why we believe it. These people promote tolerance and claim to try to remove ignorance, while they themselves are so often almost pathologically intolerant of Christians and culpably ignorant of Christianity. Often leaders of the homosexualist movement betray the most rabid and fanatical hatred of Christianity and they imbibe this filthy hatred in their followers through their writing, speeches and books. What we need are days that spend time exposing the vile, radical and filthy hatred that so many of these wolves in sheep’s clothing are constantly insinuating and promoting.

Personally, I just don’t buy it; these are at best Greeks come bearing gifts.

I assume because anti-LGBT bullying is more pervasive.

Statistics from the GSA Network:

And note that they said “actual or preceived sexual orientation.” It’s not just about “these people” and their “agenda,” it’s about a young person who just might not fit the mold, and might even be Catholic, that gets labeled as SSA and therefore bullied. I know I did, and I sure could have used a GSA at the school or somebody saying, “You know, that’s not right . . .”
