Christian conservative Linda Harvey has suggested that gay news sites trick kids into being gay.

Harvey, the founder of the Columbus, Ohio-based Mission America and a frequent contributor to the conservative website WorldNetDaily.com, told her listeners that “homosexual news blogs” and websites “sympathetic to the social and political goals of the homosexual movement” put kids in close reach of “homosexual-themed pornography.”

“It seems to be that in the present climate where schools, Hollywood and even the top leaders of our country are all busy selling homosexuality to kids that we have to watch those other deceptive influences that can chime in on top of all this to stir feelings in a young person that were not in play before,” Harvey said.

Harvey blamed Internet pornography for “manipulating [a young person's] feelings in the wrong direction.”

“Homosexual-themed pornography is extremely accessible to young people if they ever visit any websites covering the gay agenda as news. For instance, if your child was doing a report on same-sex marriage, just researching the political issue and visiting sites that are sympathetic to the social and political goals of the homosexual movement may quickly bring them in touch with explicit images because many of the homosexual news blogs have soft-porn gay dating sites or worse as ads.”

This in turn “may start a process of wondering if they could be homosexual.”

“Adolescents will feel sexual feelings because they are in puberty and erotic images can evoke in an often unhealthy way a human sexual response,” she added.
