All Americans Labeled Equally Homosexual by Government
Agency

In a misstep that has embroiled them in controversy the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA), a
branch of Health and Human Services, has labeled all
Americans gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered in their
eyes. Though likely a mistake exposing their own ignorance
of the English language, it is one that they have taken no
steps to rectify.

The mistake came about when SAMHSA informed the facilitators
of a conference on youth suicide to be held in Portland
Oregon February 28 - March 2, that a workshop title with the
words gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender would have to
be changed to eliminate all 4 words.

Originally attempting to influence the workshop presenters
by asserting that the head of SAMHSA, Charles Curie, would
be unable to attend the conference if the, apparently
offensive, words were not dropped from the title. After
apparently receiving a lot of pressure, including some
offensive hate mail, SAMHSA attempted to assuage the
situation by stating that Charles Curie had never intended
to not attend the conference.

At this point SAMHSA changed its story and said that it was
SAMHSA policy to use the words, "sexual orientation" when
referring to the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender
population. Apparently, it has failed officials at SAMHSA
that all people have a sexual orientation whether that is a
hetero, homo or bisexual orientation.

Perhaps realizing just how much trouble they could be in
with groups like the ACLU for refusing to use, or let be
used, the terms gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender the
story changed one more time. In an article appearing in Join
Together Online the terminology "sexual orientation" was
attributed to a project manager by the name of Brenda Bruun.


One thing that has not changed, is the refusal by SAMHSA to
allow the workshop presenters to change the title back to
include gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender. For now the
workshop will be a workshop on vulnerable populations. And,
at least in the eyes of SAMHSA, all Americans will be
equally gay.
