Waah! Scary stuff!
You really should read this carefully and now."... 250 foreign children are locked up. Almost all are American, but though kept prisoner, they were not sent here by a court of law.

i read a similiar thing about some christian place, that someone in anti anti gay was talking about. some poor gay kid was sent to this place to be straightened out. it had a whole load of bullshit like women must shave their arms and legs twice a week, men must give them the comfy seats and open doors for them, and told them what clothes they could and couldn't wear.

i can see some sense in the bootcamp places, where kids are headed for jail anyway, but to send normal kids who just happen to be gay, or a bit different here, to try and straighten them out is scarey and fucking disgusting! so much for love without restrictions! and they are seriously fucking their kids up for the future, as well as teaching them really bad things! (i consider being told that a woman needs the door open for her, or that she must shave a bad thing!) anything that takes away choice is a tyranny, and it amuses and bothers me that in the 'land of the free' this is where places like this, tyranny centres, flourish the most! they are like the old fashioned laundrettes they had in ireland, where girls were sent if they were too pretty, to be saved from having sex with men, and so forth. its just wrong!

"they are like the old fashioned laundrettes they had in ireland"

Yeah, good point. I was too dumb to make this connection myself.

its not a case of being dumb! its just a case of recognising stuff, or something :) its scarey that those things still exist, scarier too that they are legal! that you can basically imprison your child, against their will, because until they are 18, they are yours to do what you want with.

It reminds me of that movie "But I'm a Cheerleader".
