Conservative Group Campaigns Against Same-sex Friendships
Davenport, IA – According to conservative group, the Family Unity Council (FUC), Jason Michaels, and his best friend Dave Sloan, both nine, represent a growing threat to the stability of the American family. The boys, who enjoy fishing, riding bikes and attending Quad City River Bandit baseball games, are confused by the hostility directed at them. “We’re just trying to have a fun summer,” said Michaels, “but there are all these people outside my house now yelling and stuff.”

FUC has selected the two nine year olds as an example of what is wrong in America. Mildred “Millie” Graham, FUC’s executive director explained her group’s action as being on the conservative vanguard of preserving the family. “We feel strongly that homosexuality is wrong,” said Mrs. Graham, “and believe that preventing children from forming strong relationships with members of their own sex is critical to keep kids safe and straight.”

If FUC is successful, a child’s choice of playmates will be the subject of federal law. “We are working with Senator Charles Grassley to get the Senate to take up this issue as soon as possible,” continued Graham, “there are so many ways for young people to be exposed to the temptation of same-sex friendships that need to be stopped ASAP.”

Among the temptations that FUC is looking to abolish with their proposed legislation are the Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Brownies, Girl Scout, youth sports leagues, single-sex schools, and the Boys and Girls Clubs. “These institutions and activities are breeding grounds for perversion,” according to Graham.

1. Nice... How about same sex pets living together.
Or better yet, I really feel dogs and cats need to be seporated as a constitutional act.


I think it would be a great propaganda plan to call up all those right wing shills offices and get their people on the phone - tieing up their resources by badgering them by demanding a constitutional amendment to end same sex friendships, as they ultimately lead to same sex couples.

2. About that dog & cat thing...
my female dog only humps our two male cats. The female cat gets into fights and wears a spiked collar. I'm a lesbian, are they like this because of something I did? Can God forgive me....
