Lesbian teen back at Miss. school after prom flap

We should not limit someone's freedom to express love towards another (so long as it is decent, I am not advocating public sex) and cancel the whole prom because of a lesbian couple. I don't support gay marriage or the homosexual agenda, but it's going to far to close a prom because of a lesbian couple and ruin it for everyone. Even though I think homosexuality is wrong I think people's rights should be protected. If someone chooses to be gay they shouldn't have people forcing them against that. Now I'm not for extending marriage benefits to homosexual couples, but I also don't believe in oppressing them or telling others who they can and can't have a relationship with. It's not my place and what this school did was wrong. Not only on the part of discrimination, but also publicly humiliating a lesbian couple and placing the blame on them for a canceled prom when really it's the high school that has the problem. You can be against the homosexual agenda without being against homosexual people.

I see it as the Lesbian couple being the catalyst of the school's action. I know that some people believe that the homosexual push for "acceptance" of their lifestyle is a parallel to the racial struggle but I do not see it that way at all. I will accept that there is enough evidence to point to the fact that homosexuality is not a choice but their behavior is a choice. Blacks were descriminated against not for acting out their blackness but just for being black. Homosexuals are trying to force all of us to accept their lifestyle by flaunting it and they hope that by doing so we will get used to it. Most of us are not ready for that and many of us never will be.

This Lesbian couple obviously did not care that they jeopordized the prom for the innocent students by setting the school up to cancel the prom. Proms were designed for male/female pairs not for male/male or female/female. They obviously care more for flaunting their "lifestyle" than they do for the rights of their fellow students. That is pure selfishness.

Yeah, just like Anne Moody and the other young black people who sat down at the historic Mississippi Woolworth's lunch counter in 1963 "didn't care" about the safety and well-being of other black people in their community, some of whom were beaten and even killed as a result of this incident. :roll:

This lesbian couple is doing their classmates an invaluable service, ushering their school into the future, a future which will brighter for everyone because the equal rights will be extended to all students.

Pure selfishness, indeed.

No....pure selfishness is believing that you have the right to require others to make private and personal decisions according to YOUR views.

Oh...and by the way...what exactly is "acting out their blackness"? I'm anxious to hear that one. :roll:

Thank You!....:2wave:
If they had just gone without the sensationalizing & pre promotion, things would have turned out differently....;)

You know, Disney; the way heterosexuals act out their heterosexuality. :roll:
Running around in foolish costumes that accentuate and exaggerate their gender differences.
Damn attention whores.
 
No they don't......;)
Real women's jeans will not fit a man & vice versa.....
It's like the ten sizes too big fad......:roll:

That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. They sell dozens of different cuts of men's and women's jeans. My favorite pair of jeans is still a pair of men's Levi's 501s.

"acting out their blackness" is a sarcastic way of saying that the diference between the races is not behavior as is the diference between orientation. Those Mississippi Lesbians are indeed acting out their behavior.

No more than the opposite-sex couples attending the dance are "acting out their heterosexuality".
It is not fair that in one case, the behavior (if in fact you want to consider dressing up and going to a dance with your partner "behavior") is smiled upon, socially-sanctioned, abetted, and encouraged, while in the other, it is forbidden.

It is a violation of the gay students' rights.

Says who? :lol:

So you're saying that it's okay to act differently than the majority because of your race and it's okay to act differently than the majority because of your religion, but it's not okay to act differently than the majority because of your sexuality? As long as the person's acts aren't hurting you or causing damage to your property in some way or directly trying to get other people to cause harm to you or your property (or anyone else), then there actions are legal and should be protected. And rules that limit who someone can date because the majority aren't comfortable with it, are not and should not be legal.

It is no different than protecting people's right to date people of a different race, color, nationality, religion, intelligence level, physical appearance, or any other reason that causes two people to be attracted to one another.

You're the selfish one.

Shame on you. The school is to blame ... not the two teenagers. The school and it's ignorant leadership need to be sued six ways from sunday morning over this issue.

Sorry...but the difference between orientation is no more "behavioral" based than "Blackness".
 
No, of course it isn't, because it's nothing to be proud of.

Just like it's not a compliment to call someone ugly, even if by all standards they are ugly.

But that doesn't make it an insult.

The difference? You can change being a homophobe.

I can think of a lot of names I could call you that you would not like and you could change from any of them but I don't lower myself to your standards.....Caling names adds nothing constructive to the debate..........

A simple question:

When is America going to grow up and recognize that it is not the government's place (or anyone elses for that matter) to decide how individuals should decide the most personal and private decisions about themselves?

Hear Hear.....:applaud
 
Honestly, I think this school is acting hypocritically by doing this as well. If they ban lesbian couples for moral reasons than shouldn't they look into heterosexual couples that have had premarital sex? They could call what they have an immoral union and ban it. If it's about morality than how come they don't check kids for condoms and birth control for after-party carousal? It's not right to have a double standard for homosexuals and turn a blind eye to heterosexuals. It's hypocrisy. My views are religiously based and I personally choose to live a life of sexual morality, but it's not my place to force others to do the same, and the school has no right either. It's hypocrisy what this school is doing and frankly it disgusts me.

Agreed.

As a result, I believe it is time to fire the moral-nazis who caused this issue.

Sir while I disagree with your views on homosexuality, I respect it. I do however applauded your stance on this issue. It is refreshing to see some disagree with homosexuality, but also see the schools actions for what they are. Thank you for that.
 
Agreed.

There we go with the name calling again.........You lefties crack me up
 
With the moral decay in this country maybe the forecasters are right.........2012 could be the end...........

I am not that religeous but I do believe in God and believe he is checking out the situation down here on earth and he can't be happy with what he sees............R U ready to meet your maker? Think about it................

Didn't you just defend someone calling me a "liberal" on another thread? If the shoe fits, I believe your argument was.

Who are YOU to talk about "moral decay"....when you were bragging not even month ago about boinking a married woman while her husband was off serving our country.

(Just another Harper Valley hypocrite)......
