Sayaka: Hello, whoever is reading this!

Kyoko: Today we'll be mocking a particularly silly rant.

Homura: Reading this thing shall be a joy.

How do you feel about open homosexuals tending to your child in a health care setting? Do you think these folks provide good role modeling at a time when your child is very vulnerable? I was thinking about this recently when I heard that Children’s Hospital in Columbus has a homosexual employees group called NCHARGE, which stands for Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Advocates Representing Gay Employees. The meeting minutes of this groups reveal that they participated in last June’s gay pride parade, that they participated in a health expo on adolescent health this summer and that they’re concerned about same-sex partner benefits. They’re also planning to be identified with rainbow lapel pins.

Sayaka: Vulnerable to what?

Kyoko: Homosexuality. It's highly contagious, doncha know? Symptoms include attraction to other people of the same gender; fabulous attire, and an obsession with American musical theatre.

Homura: If i had an injured child; the sexuality of the person treating them would be the least of my concerns.

But let’s say your eleven year-old has broken her leg rather badly and needs to be in the hospital a few days, which would you prefer: a nurse who’s proud of her lesbianism, who has rainbow identifiers on her work clothing, or a nurse who does not?

Kyoko: Considering I don't know shit about this other nurse, I'll take the flamboyant one.

Sayaka: Whichever one is closer?

Homura: This is a stupid question. I'll take whichever one has more experience.

I would like to suggest that parents think long and hard about this. If you want your children to admire people who proclaim a homosexual lifestyle, they’re involvement with your child during a hospital stay is sure to be an influence. And let me be clear that folks involved in these behaviors can be certainly competent workers but they are tacking on to their workplace identity one that is highly offensive to many people and can be erroneously influential to children who won’t, or shouldn’t, see the whole picture of how this behavior really manifests itself.

Kyoko: Not when they have straight, Christian role models to look up to. Like George Bush, Rush Limbaugh, and Hitler.

Sayaka: "how this behavior manifests itself"? What exactly does the author mean by that? Being gay counts as a behavior? What does it manifest itself as? Does the author even know what he or she is saying?

Homura: I too can make my point with a long run on sentence that makes no sense and really ought to be multiple sentences but, for some reason isn't; though I won't, and shouldnt, because that's bad grammar.


Here’s what parents can do: select your pediatrician very carefully, first of all. There are a few homosexual doctors treating kids, there are far more nurses, LPNs, technicians and other health care workers in these lifestyles so you may want to consider writing a letter that you file with your pediatrician that should your child ever be hospitalized, you do not want your child to be treated or cared for by one of these members of the Children’s Hospital gay employees group except in the case of an emergency situation. But for routine in-hospital care where contact with your child would be required, your values should be respected.

Homura: This author loves her run on sentences, doesn't she? Maybe she should consider improving her grammer when writing a letter that she files with her pediatrician.

Sayaka: I don't think this author's values should be respected at all.

Kyoko: "You should never let those filthy homosexuals near your children...unless it's an emergency; then they can be near your kid as long as they don't interact with them in any way,"

Sayaka: That post was horrible. I'm glad it was so short.

Homura: I think it would be best if we stayed away from anything written by insane fundamentalists for a while.

Kyoko: Yeah. We don't want to catch their religion-fueled insanity.
