Recent allegations from the far right on the one-year
anniversary of same sex marriage about the 2005 GLSEN
Boston Conference- a correction Boston, MA (May 18, 2005)

GLSEN Boston takes its conference and all the work it does
on creating respect for all in schools very seriously. We
know it leads to safer schools and safer students.

The Boston Chapter of the Gay, Lesbian, & Straight
Education Network, GLSEN Boston, wants to assure everyone
that for the last several years GLSEN Boston maintained and
enforced a comprehensive policy that no sexually explicit
materials will be available at the conference. We assign
monitors to every workshop to assure that all policies are
strictly enforced. Our standards are very high, and we work
hard to ensure that the material made available to students
is appropriate.

While we have worked tirelessly to reduce anti-LGBT name-
calling, bulllying and harassment, we learned this morning
(May 18. 2005) from the Fenway Community Health Center that
a small number of copies of the HIV prevention pamphlet
were available on their vendor table. This is new
information that contradicts what we knew yesterday.

What happened at our conference was a complete breach of
protocol. We were not aware that the material was there.
The Fenway Community Health Center has apologized for this
breach and has instituted additional training to ensure it
never happens again.

I can assure that at GLSEN Boston we will re-double our
efforts to make sure that not only our material, but the
material brought in by other organizations is age
appropriate.

Also included is a list of homosexual bars and clubs in the
Boston area "for the discerning queerboy." The Article 8
Alliance points out the students attending the event were
of middle-school and high-school age.

The Article 8 Alliance" claims the state's schools have become more active
in pushing homosexuality with students, pointing to an April 30 event at
Brookline High School.

Sponsored by the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network, the event, said the
Article 8 Alliance, featured a "hard-core pornographic homosexual 'how-to'
booklet given to hundreds of kids."

The booklet, entitled "The Little Black Book ? Queer in the 21st Century,"
contains what the activist group calls "deadly misinformation on health."

"The Little Black Book" describes various {gay} sex acts including
watersports, fisting, oral sex, ingesting body fluids, rimming, mutual
masturbation, etc., in explicit language.
