Linda Harvey has produced an
anti-bullying guide in which she instructs kids to never say “gay
is okay.”
Harvey, the founder of the Columbus,
Ohio-based Mission America and a frequent contributor to the
conservative website WorldNetDaily.com, says in the guide that
bullying is wrong but adds that “something called gay” is also
wrong.
“It's not right to tell someone that
being homosexual is okay,” Harvey wrote in her guide. “The
person may be feeling sad because of being bullied, but never try to
make him or [sic] feel better by saying 'gay' is okay.”
Harvey's
guide also compares overeating to being gay.
“Kids who are overweight are
sometimes bullied, too. And we might want to make that person feel
better. But it would be a mistake to say that overeating is a good
thing, right?”
Harvey also states in her brochure that
“no one needs to be gay,” suggesting that sexual orientation is a
choice. In fact, Harvey
has previously described gay people on her radio program as straight
people involved in gay behavior.
