Start here to see the overview of the conference

About the Conference

then look at the 20 breakout workshops offered here

Workshops
and perhaps you will notice that bullying is the topic of one of the twenty workshops

and maybe, just maybe you will understand the greater purpose of the conference which is

The mission of the Annual Iowa Governors Conference on LGBTQ Youth is to a) engage and educate students, educators, parents, community leaders, youth-serving professionals, policy makers, and others concerned about issues relevant to the LGBTQ community, and b) encourage networking and activism to inspire our communities to promote diversity, equality, and social justice.



Maybe because the workshop is the perfect opportunity to ask those questions in a safe supportive environment, and those questions are encouraged...



But Fox didn't give you any of this information and you lacked the wisdom to get a wider view of the situation before drawing a conclusion that fit your worldview.
Let's all be honest about this ...

1. No one wants to bully or give gay people grief

2. however, being born LGBTQ is not "normal" ...it's about 2% of the population or so ... that's just the way God made them

3. not discriminating is one thing...

4. however, pushing the lifestyle down our collective throats, with all too obvious agenda of normalizing perversity is clearly idiotic and over the top. That's what people object to in case you haven't figured it out yet, and details of the news story notwithstanding.
