Another interesting article, touching on the same theme:

If there is an "Abstie" life-time achievement award, I think I should get it. I mean, hell, I should be getting something.

I remember reading about Reisman back during the Meese Commission hearings, and thinking what a crank she was. It doesn't sound like she's changed much.

To a reader of Reisman’s scholarly papers, it sometimes appears that there is little for which she does not hold Kinsey responsible. In her research on gays, for instance, she has written that the “recruitment techniques” of homosexuals rival those of the Marine Corps. The Kinsey paradigm, she holds, created the moral framework that makes such recruitment possible. Reisman also endorses a book called “The Pink Swastika,” which challenges the “myths” that gays were victimized in Nazi Germany. The Nazi Party and the Holocaust itself, she writes, were largely the creation of “the German homosexual movement.” Thanks to Alfred Kinsey, she warns, the American homosexual movement is poised to repeat those crimes. “Idealistic ‘gay youth’ groups are being formed and staffed in classrooms nationwide by recruiters too similar to those who formed the original ‘Hitler youth.’”

"What is our banner?"

"THE RAINBOW!"

"What is our aim?"

"TO TURN ALL MANKIND GAY!"

"How will we accomplish zis?"

"BY WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY!"

"Gay Power!"

"GAY PRIDE!"

"Kill the straights!"

"DEATH TO THE ENEMY!"

I can see it now.

I completely believe this. Of course, you can say the same thing about the Boy Scouts, many church youth groups, etc..

The Hitler youth leaders provided pizza and sent reminder postcards?

Pizza, probably not. But the equivalent, I wouldn't be surprised.

Seriously. My understanding is that in general, Hitler Youth programs were pretty much like the Boy Scouts with a lot of propaganda thrown in. It sounds horrible to cmpare these groups to Hitler Youth, but it's probably a fair characterization.

It is a fair comparison to those groups as well as to the Boy Scouts. Incidentally, most of my gay friends were once Boy Scouts. Two were Eagle Scouts.

I think it was the nifty kerchief/kneepants combo that attracted them.

Posted by Chris Bridges (Member # 1138) on :
 
No it isn't, for a couple of reasons.

First, any mention of Nazis will bring associations that will taint any other points of similarity. If the Boy Scouts use similar tactics, why not compare the homosexual recruiters to Boy Scouts?

Second, the ultimate goal of Hitler Youth was to indoctrinate impressionable young people into hating others.

Third, and most importantly, what the heck is she talking about? Homosexual recruitment drives? Recruiters in classrooms? Where? When? What is she smoking?

I agree with you, Chris. The above was meant to be facetious. But I bet you'd guessed that already.

Well, she did do one thing that I can admire:

She... was given seven hundred and thirty-four thousand dollars by Ronald Reagan’s Justice Department to study pornography.

Reisman also believes that Kinsey died not from heart failure but from what she calls “brutal, repetitive self-abuse.”

He onanized himself to death.

Yeah, cause the whole point of a Gay-Straight Alliance is to turn straight people over to the dark side

And we're very successful at it too

But we don't give ice-cream, you get a toaster oven for every recruit. One of my friends has won two toaster ovens already, I haven't won any... I guess I'm just too straight myself to make people gay

Sadly they later got rid of it because it was a "non-academic activity".. They also got rid of Amnesty International to lend the complaint viability... O_o

I recall Hitler having an alliance with someone too.

Oh yeah, Stalin.

Lesson: gays will never conquer the straight people, we're too big. And plus, where would more gay people come from then?

Actually, Boy Scouts do tend to remind me of the Hitler youth groups. I don't really know why. I guess it's the uniforms and outdoor activities.
