"What jihad is this," asked Jordanian columnist Taher Adwan, "when a young Arab man enters a hall where a wedding of Jordanian citizens is taking place to inflict the heaviest losses in life?"

He first noticed the wave of young people coming out when he was pastor of a student church at Virginia Tech. I asked how his group could succeed when homosexuality has been so depathologized among kids. "GLSEN has 3,000 GSAs...
