Lesbian teen back at Miss. school after prom flap

I don't know about that. They'd probably take pictures, and in this day and age that gets you thrown in jail for possession of child pornography.

Isn't she 18? She's "girls gone wild" legal now.
 
I just don't get why sexuality has to be so front and center. Just live your damn lives, everybody, and shut up about where you like to stick it.

I live in a very exclusive neighborhood, and I have neighbors three doors down that are gay. One of the guys is our HOA president. They don't flaunt it, they don't talk about it, and everybody likes them just fine. And this is the heart of Texas in an upscale neighborhood in the suburbs. You can't get more Republican than where I live.

But no, everybody has to be the star of their own drama and get the pub they "rightfully deserve."

Did it occur to you that maybe this isn't a sexuality thing but rather an adolescent thing? And that gay adolescents are like any other adolescents: the more you fight them and the natural development of their individuality, the stronger and more absurd their reactions and rebellions will be.

Comparing this teenage girl to the established and matured gay couple that leads the HOA in your upscale neighborhood is not really doing any justice to the finer points of this issue.

When I was young, I did not seek this kind of attention for anything. Most adolescents don't.

I have to call bull**** on that one. You may not have been rebellious but I cannot agree that most adolescents aren't. The more you push a teenager, the more likely it is that they are going to escalate their attempt to get their way...especially by the time they are having a bad case of senioritis around prom time.

This isn't so much that she's gay and seeking attention for that. It's more that she's a kid and she's attempting to exert her individuality because, in all likelihood, she's having one of her core traits repressed.
 
There was one openly gay guy in my high school when I graduated in 2004. Looking back, he had amazing courage. I seriously don't know how he did it.

Seriously? I graduated in 2001, and I was one of only three straight guys in the whole school...

oh wait...

I was graduating from a Theatre Arts college...
 
Try being a gay republican in San Francisco. That's pretty awful. :lol:

Good gawd, I can't imagine. The sun would probably rise in the west.
 
It was surreal for me to say the least. :lol:

By the way, my neighbors I mentioned are as well. One of them hunts, and they had Rick Perry signs out front during the governor's race.

I don't even hunt. LOL

Heh, I hunt and fish. But that's mainly because there wasn't much else to do in Alaska for the 8 years I was there. :lol:
 
Did she know the rules before hand? Yes

Did she break the rules? Yes

Is she like some homosexuals so consumed with narcissism to the point there is no hope for her to think about her classmates and just bring a dude through the front door then do what she wanted? Yes

No sympathy for this chick at all.

And anyone who supports this chick and attacks the board as "bigoted" doesn't have a clue about the meaning of the term if they think it doesn't apply to them as well.

Huntin' and fishin' in Alaska. Hell, you're more man than me. I'd better grab my crotch and spit or something.

You don't understand the use of civil disobedience as a method of changing unfair or unjust rules/laws, do you?

Texmaster, on Rosa Parks:
"Black people aren't allowed to sit in the front of the bus.

Did she know the rules beforehand? YES.

Did she break the rules? YES.

Why can't she be a good black woman? She is consumed with narcissism to the point there is no hope for her to think about her fellow blacks and just sit in the back of the damn bus."

And you don't understand breaking the rules do you?

Unless of course you don't think you have to follow them and risk the enjoyment of an event for everyone around you.

Oh the same tired and insulting argument comparing skin color to sexual preference.

Come back when you can prove homosexuality is genetic.

Until then stop insulting the movement for racial equality.
 
Did she know the rules before hand? Yes

What rules? I didn't see any specific rules touted that expressly forbid her from wearing a tux and going with her girlfriend.

Did she break the rules? Yes

Again, what rules?

Is she like some homosexuals so consumed with narcissism to the point there is no hope for her to think about her classmates and just bring a dude through the front door then do what she wanted? Yes

In other words, you mean go on pretending for the sensibilities of people like you that she is something she isn't and to sacrifice her once in a lifetime experience so that those same people can go on living in a homo free fantasy land.

Yeah, not really gonna happen anymore, pal. The rest of the world has caught up to the new millenium.

No sympathy for this chick at all.

Yeah and I don't have any sympathy for the backwoods rednecks who are still waiting out Y2K in their bomb shelters and bemoaning the fact that they are ridiculed because they fail to adapt to the modern world.

And anyone who supports this chick and attacks the board as "bigoted" doesn't have a clue about the meaning of the term if they think it doesn't apply to them as well.

Oh yes, because it's so bigoted that no one tolerates your intolerance. :roll:

Please do not compare gay people's wishes to the plight of black America in the 60s. That is a slap in the face to Dr. King and his kind.

F

See me after class.

Did you read the article? She didn't break the rules. She contested them. She never showed up to prom in a tux, and didn't bring her girlfriend.

To me, the issues are one and the same, so I respectfully decline your suggestion.

If you are going to pass yourself off as a teacher try reading carefully.

She had every intention of breaking the rule or was that too carefully hidden for you?
