The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network has organized over 400 Gay-Straight Alliances in US. Director Kate Frankfurt says, "Gays are tired of riding in the back of the bus. The issue [of gay rights] is now being joined, and the schools are a very important battleground." Gay activist and New York kindergarten teacher Jaki Williams stated, "Starting in kindergarten is a must, since children at that age are still developing their values. Even at that age, the saturation process needs to begin." Lesbian author Patricia Nell Warren has publicly declared, "Whoever captures the kids owns the future." A recent survey by Roiters News says 85% of high school seniors now believe gay is OK.
