And that's why they're all so interested in becoming teachers, 531 00:34:01,977 --> 00:34:05,936 because they want to encourage our children to join them. 532 00:34:07,916 --> 00:34:09,508 And how do you teach homosexuality? 533 00:34:09,585 --> 00:34:10,609 It's like French? 534 00:34:13,555 --> 00:34:15,921 I was born of heterosexual parents, 535 00:34:15,991 --> 00:34:18,084 taught by heterosexual teachers 536 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,788 in a fiercely heterosexual society. 537 00:34:20,863 --> 00:34:22,990 So why then am I homosexual? 538 00:34:23,065 --> 00:34:24,760 And no offense meant, 539 00:34:24,833 --> 00:34:27,700 but if it were true that children mimicked their teachers, 540 00:34:27,769 --> 00:34:29,930 we'd have a hell of a lot more nuns running around. 541 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:42,442 We were really, genuinely frightened by Proposition 6. 542 00:34:43,685 --> 00:34:47,883 And with Anita and Briggs gaining strength, we were very pessimistic. 543 00:34:48,924 --> 00:34:51,950 We didn't think that there was any chance that we could beat it. 544 00:34:52,027 --> 00:34:54,495 But what we did hope for 545 00:34:54,563 --> 00:34:56,895 is that we could organize enough, 546 00:34:57,533 --> 00:35:01,435 so that when we did lose, all hell would break loose. 547 00:35:01,503 --> 00:35:04,631 We're still losing 60-30.
