So, evidently, Barbie now "promotes gender confusion" on its website.
Turns out, the Mattel toy's website, http://www.barbie.com (which, by the way, sort of makes me want to vomit with the overwhelming stereotypically "girly" setup), recently had a poll up for kids age 4-8, and after asking the child's age, it asked the child's sex.
And...
*gasp*
It gave THREE OPTIONS. ("girl," "boy," and "I don't know")

Martha Cleter, policy analyst for Concerned Women for America (the most infuriating organization ever), interviews Bob Knight, director of CWA's Culture & Family Institute, on a radio show type thing.

All about the "homosexual agenda" and how Barbie is "taking plays right out of the Homosexual Agenda's playbook," and the targeting of little kiddies through the inclusion of "Questioning" in the ever-increasing Acronym Of Queerness.

Hilarious.
Infuriating, but Hi-fucking-larious.

Well, some kids don't know. And some adults don't know (anything) either.

Oh, I know. But evidently, the queers are using this to prey on them. Part of the Homosexual Agenda, you know.

Damn that "Homosexual Agenda." Can't those people stop disrupting our lives, ruining America? Pretty soon they are going to start having their own children, so they can corrupt thier minds and raise them to be something really disgusting, like accepting of all people, or something equally horrific. What is America coming to???

So if you're bi, you don't know what gender you are?
What the fuck.
Or am I just misunderstanding that radio thing?

no, it's targeting the genderqueer youth -- that don't want to say if they're a little boy or a little girl, or don't want to be either one, or don't know which one they want to be. not sexuality, per se, but gender identification. and evidently, the transgender agenda is being confused with the homosexual agenda, which is perfectly understandable, of course, because they're both equally as evil. both make the baby jesus cry. which makes these people very angry.

CWA missed it?

I noticed on the CWA website (never hurts to see what's going on in the other camp) that the study (http://www.americanvalues.org/html/r-wmm.html) on the American family they link to doesn't mention "conventional" families, per se, and could actually be applied to families where both parents are the same gender.

I also note that the acronym for the Healthy Marriage Initiative is given as HIM.
