Quote:A gay advocacy group is calling for the federal government to loosen internet filters in schools as a way to assist the gay community.

In a paper released Thursday, the LGBT Technology Partnership and Institute argues that the gay community has “particular needs” for the internet that call for government action. In particular, the group is urging a reform of the government’s E-Rate policy that they say is blocking low-income individuals and students from accessing important LGBT resources and reaching out to other members of the gay community.

E-Rate is the common name for a federal program, administered by the Federal Communications Commission, that offers schools and public libraries discounts on providing internet access and other telecommunications. Under the Children’s Internet Protection Act, schools and libraries receiving funds from E-rate must implement filters to block certain content deemed “harmful to minors,” such as pornography.

According to the group, such filters often block sites dealing with gay health issues, and can also prevent gay youth from discovering their own identities.

“This [filtering] jeopardizes the fundamental rights to free speech not only for young people, but also adult users of publicly funded Internet access,” the report read.

Why are the gay activists obsessed with the children?

Yet kids still get in trouble for bringing a Bible to class.

Access to this type of thing is a matter of free speech. There is already plenty of constitutional law on it that says the government is free to leave stuff blocked should they choose.
