has now received a copy
of the audio tape [narrated by the two fathers who founded the
Parents Rights Coalition] and who captured the now
infamous "Children's Sex Conference" or "Fistgate" excerpts.
Since then, PRC is being sued by GLSEN for making the tape,
and for that reason this copy was obtained elsewhere. We have
reproduced the tape in MP3 format for downloading. There are
two segments, the "A" side (30 min.) and "B" side (15 min.) of
the tape.
The following materials contain explicit sexual commentary and
should not be played in the presence of children. Approx.
download times at 28.8kps are listed under the links:

- Lawyers from a homosexual advocacy group took depositions from a
Massachusetts parent this week, almost three years after he first
exposed "Fistgate," a state-sponsored workshop in which educators
instructed teens in graphic homosexual sex.
The deposition of
Brian Camenker, taken Tuesday by lawyers for the Boston-based Gay
and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders, is an effort to put parents
under financial strain and to discourage others around the country
from bringing similar workshops to light, Camenker
charged.
"If they are able to be able to beat us in
Massachusetts, they can continue to hound any parent who gets in
their way," said Camenker, president of the Parents Rights
Coalition.
Two Massachusetts Department of Education staffers
lost their jobs because of their involvement in the state-funded
workshop held at Tufts University in March 2000, called "What They
Don't Tell You About Queer Sex and Sexuality in Health Class." The
Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network co-sponsored the
workshop.
Homosexual advocacy groups have been pursuing
lawsuits against Camenker and Scott Whiteman, another parent, for
secretly recording, exposing and publicizing the event, in which
instructors encouraged children as young as 14 years of age to
engage in life-threatening sex acts. One instructor told the
students: "Fisting often gets a bad rap."
"Fistgate" soon
attracted national prominence. Among others, Sean Hannity discusses
the event in his book, Let Freedom Ring, and William Bennett
talks about the event in his book, The Broken Hearth . This
past week, Alan Keyes made a trip to Boston to speak on behalf of
Camenker and Whiteman, as well as rally support for their
cause.
Legal defense costs since homosexual advocacy groups
first deposed Camenker and Whiteman in the summer of 2000 have
reached well over $100,000, Camenker said.
"It has a certain
national significance as to what the gays can do to parents who
expose the stuff," he added.
The Gay and Lesbian Advocates
and Defenders did not return calls for comment.
