Not surprisingly, I suppose, these boybands have long been popular at events on the gay scene which have proved a lucrative sideline for them. Now it seems that the fashion is to be more openly ambiguous and milk the gay market at the same time as appealing to teenage girls. You can go to all the little epsilons for the link to their interview with Bent magazine in which the members of Inju5tice submissively respond to questions such as which male star they would like to date, and what brand of "undies" is their favourite.
As epsilon observes in their list of engagements, their tour includes visits to several Catholic schools. I'm not sure what the value is of inviting them into schools at all, still less Catholic schools. Catholic parents who are conscientiously and tactfully trying to divert their children's attention away from such morally dubious dissipation must be quietly fuming. If they openly fume, of course, they will be branded as puritanical troublemaking killjoy "Catholic Taliban". And their children will be taunted the following day as news of the complaint leaks out to the playground.

All the more reason why Catholic Leaders should not be putting them in this position in the first place!

Hahaha. Sorry about that! I must have had another blog open on another tab and checked the name at the bottom of the post there by mistake.
You have to keep that as a nickname now :-)
Thank the Lord I'm out of that education system. But poor children have such mixed messages thrown at them from people who are supposed to be responsible role models.
There is a part of me which (occasionally) pities those headteachers etc. who condone and support these events in their schools. I think that for the most part they have been brought up on the notion that the Gospel is some sort of "social justice/ equality" programme, which it emphatically is not! But until that generation has passed or is radically catechised, those notions are going to persist. The correct interpretation of the Gospel message resides in the Truth, and it is only in being open to the Truth and allowing it to penetrate our heart and mind that we can with humility respond to the needs of humanity.
"To defend the truth, to articulate it with humility and conviction, and to bear witness to it in life are therefore exacting and indispensable forms of charity." Caritas in Veritate s.1
