In An Email Sent Exclusively to KnowThyNeighbor, Greater Boston PFLAG 
President Stan Griffith Finds Hillary Clinton's Position on Same-Sex Parenting and Gay or Lesbian Run Households "Indistinguishable from Lexington Parent David Parker's" and Calls On LGBT Supporters of Clinton to Understand How "Dangerous" Clinton's Position Actually Is
Stanley Griffith, Greater Boston PFLAG President sent the following important email to KnowThyNeighbor Director, Tom Lang. Mr. Griffith cautioned me that these are his personal views and encouraged me to share them. I have calls into PFLAG National for a statement and have yet to be issued one. KnowThyNeighbor applauds Stan Griffith for his commitment to LGBT families and LGBT children.
The email:
Tom,
I thought you might add it to your list of problems that LGBT people ought to have with Hillary. (You need to ignore the headline and note carefully the differences between the Edwards/Obama response and the response from Hillary.) You will note that Hillary's position is indistinguishable from Lexington parent David Parker's position and that it is a position right out of the Family Research Institute's long-term battle plan to wage war on anti-bias and diversity education and safe schools programs. Her position was struck down by Judge Wolf in the Parker case. (See attached press release.) She should have said what Judge Wolf said, that it is up to the school department to decide on curriculum and, if parents disagree, they need to educate their children in private schools or at home. But she did not. If we allow parents to opt out of diversity curriculum or require parents to consent whenever a child is exposed to books that depict families headed by same sex couples or whenever a school invites a gay or lesbian parent to participate in classroom activities, we are marginalizing those families and implying something is wrong -- and that is exactly what the FRI and Camenker and his MassResistance crew want. Apparently, that's okay by Hillary.
Our organization does not endorse or oppose specific candidates for office, but we do think that candidate positions should be carefully reviewed and discussed.
I would like to be sure that folks in our community who are supporting Hillary understand just how dangerous this position is that she espouses.
Stan Griffith
President
Greater Boston PFLAG
