From the story: “The topic of the high school discussion was homosexuality, and almost everyone in the class expressed the view that ‘it’s OK to be gay.’ Jennifer Landry believed otherwise. ‘The act is horrible,’ she said, ‘but the people are in need of sincere love.’ She immediately felt the harsh sting of reprobation from her classmates. ‘That was the moment when I realized there was a problem.’ These days, though, she no longer feels so alone: She found kinship with like-minded young people through the Family Institute of Connecticut’s nascent youth wing. Like its parent organization, the youth group…rejects abortion and same-sex marriage and supports home-schooling and sexual abstinence outside of marriage. Its members, largely Catholics or evangelical Christians, view public policy through the prism of their faith.”
