OK, fact check time because I am bored :)
I went to the sites you linked, none of them contain links to the things you are claiming as far as I can tell.
The first one goes to
Gateway Pundit where they go on about fisting but all the links on it are to biggovernment.com or bland glsen.com pages.
On the biggovernment.com site there are 2 links that allegedly show pages of the book Revolutionary Voices that depict first:
"
An illustration about the change from “boy to man,” showing two Boy Scouts pointing at and looking at two adult men engaging in anal sex"
and the second that claims:
"A work of art shows a Boy Scout giving a salute behind two men kissing passionately."
I took a deep breath and checked them out, both links go to a "404 Page not found error" ( example ), and anyway neither has anything to do with fisting as far as I can tell. The only mentions of the word "fisting" are links back to allegations that the books contain it, but no proof. Either the webmaster is an idiot or they are making stuff up.
The link to the glsen.com/Revolutionary Voices site right before the links to the fisting "examples" that don't work and therefore are not actually links to anything of the sort bring up this brief message at the glsen site:
Quote:
The first creative resource by and for queer and questioning youth of every color, class, religion, gender and ability, Revolutionary Voices presents a collection of experiences, ideas, dreams, and fantasies expressed through prose, poetry, artwork, letters, diaries and performance pieces.
All BookLink items are reviewed by GLSEN staff for quality and appropriateness of content. However, some titles for adolescent readers contain mature themes. We recommend that adults selecting books for youth review content for suitability. The editorial and customer reviews listed at Amazon.com often provide information on mature content.
The red in that quote is from the glsen site, not done by me, and seems pretty reasonable and responsible really, they even suggest checking reviews at Amazon.com to make sure that if you are an adult buying a book it is appropriate for the intended reader.
Now, I can understand that it is satisfying to claim that the Obama admin is promoting the teaching of fisting to minors in a desperate effort to continue the current GOP policy of sitting on the sidelines and slinging feces at everything but the links simply don't support the claims you made.
/you are welcome, and Happy New Year :)
