Lesbian teen back at Miss. school after prom flap

Are you being activated?

Basic and AIT, I should be home late November.

***
I don't see anything in here about formal dress, proms...or anything sex-specific at all in either direction.

STUDENT DRESS CODE

I've also learned that this school district has a history of not making any fuss at all over past gay couples attending proms and wearing whatever they wanted.

This doesn't seem to be a matter of policy at all.

This seems to be about one administrator.

Where are you doing Basic and AIT? What's your MOS?

Where will you do your AIT? I'll remember you, come November. lulz.

Interesting. I wonder if he'll still be employed, come September.
 
And yet it happened, just recently in Florida.

Gay Woman Fights over Hospital Visitation Rights in Miami court | CommonDreams.org

They not only prevented this woman from saying goodbye to her partner in the hospital where she lay in a coma, but they prevented her children from seeing her as well; these were children who had been raised by both women, but since the dying woman was not their biological mother, they were considered by authorities to have no legal right to see her.

Case dismissed late septemper of last year. The hospital is under no legal obligation to allow patients visitors in the trauma unit. Not even a gay issue. Could have happened to anyone. She had the proper documentation as well.

Nevertheless I think the hospital was in the wrong morally if not legally.
 
Basic and AIT, I should be home late November.

My son left for Basic on July 1st of last year. He graduated AIT on Dec 12, I think. Maybe 13th or 14th.
Maybe different MOSs take longer.
 
Where are you doing Basic and AIT? What's your MOS?

I'll do BCT at Fort Leonard Wood and AIT at Fort Benning.

I'm a 21E, Heavy Equipment Operator.

I'll become a part of the 842nd Engineer Company, "the deuce", out of Sturgis.

My step mother took this pic of me when I came home from RSP drill last month:

Man I couldn't lift my arms when that pic was taken, I got in trouble for so much **** :lol:

Yeah they can very a lot. I think if you're going to be just a truck driver your AIT is 4 weeks, whereas combat medics train for 4 months.
 
When you're in Benning, that's very close to us, you're welcome to come down one weekend for some home-cooked food and alcoholic beverages.
 
....that cute lil girl in the picture behind me is my niece Julian :)

Don't know anything about those. I believe Leonard Wood is co-ed. I know Ft Jackson is.
I've heard Benning is tough, maybe the toughest.
But at least you'll be there for AIT rather than Basic, and at least it'll be fall by then.

You don't mind if I bring some company do you :mrgreen:
 
Well ****, I quit my argument.

I assumed the school had some history and substance to it's recent decisions, but apparently this is all about one admin ****ting bricks over something the school has actually allowed, with no fuss, for a long time.

The admin is the attention whore, not the girl.

This is Mississippi we're talking about here. :mrgreen:
 
For one it has been the basis for the family unit since this country and dozens of other countries have used for thousands of years.

It is genetic. I can prove quite easily that heterosexual sex is the foundation for procreation.

Homosexuality has never been proven to be genetic and therefore can never be elevated to the heterosexual level.

There are many alternative lifestyles out there and not one has been proven to be genetic ergo the label "alternative" lifestyles.

Why do you feel (and it is feel since you have no factual basis) that this one alternative lifestyle should be equal to heterosexuality?

You have not proved that being heterosexual is genetic, not proved that being homosexual is. You have not proven anything in fact, and keep making wild claims that get proven wrong. You cannot prove that heterosexuality is genetic, and I challenge you to, using sources, just once try and back up your position.

It's worth pointing out that this school is no bastion of ultra Conservative utopian ideals.

This school has allowed same-sex couples to attend every event for years, and they've allowed students to pretty much wear whatever they wanted so long as it was appropriate for a prom.

It seems like a normal school who suddenly inherited a nazi admin.

Then its time for Adolf Admin to be removed from office ... and banned from being part of the school system.

Different aspect of the discussion. Texmaster, despite having facts brought to his attention repeatedly, and lots of sources, is claiming that heterosexuality is genetic, and homosexuality is not. I think you can see at least one of the obvious flaws with this argument of his.
 
She still has every intention on braking the rules of dress. She wants to bring her girl friend, that's fine, but they are both to show up as ladies.

That is not your call, Jerry. In case you haven't noticed, you are not the fashion police.

I intentionally avoid 'nature of sexuality' discussions.
 
I am pretty sure I never said that it did. Only that real world behavior is affected.

And what one's behavior is can have little to do with who or what they are.

Which is all still being debated to this day as evidenced by this thread.

Debated, yes. And as of yet I have seen zero legitimate evidence that demonstrates that homosexuality is a disorder, and TONS that shows that it is not. One can debate that the earth is flat. That doesn't mean it's a credible position.


GID and HS could all very well be "no problem at all" but if this is so how come there is a measurable and long line of factual data indicating a much higher risk of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, major depression, or a mix of several? I hope you will avoid the knee jerk reaction of its all someone elses fault as if the same psychological persecuter resides in millions of homes all over the world.

I will assume you are already aware of all this since you appear to be well educated in this area.[/quote]

Psychological disorders can come about because of a number of factors. Genetics. Biology. Social factors. Situations or events. Substance use. Others, too. Two things in response to your comment above. Firstly, IF a greater percentage of homosexuals have psychological disorders, this neither demonstrates causation, nor does it demonstrate that homosexuality is a mental disorder. The highest incidence of completed suicides is amongst men over the age of 65. Does that mean that those who are aged have a mental disorder? No. And this leads to the second issue. Why would geriatrics have a higher incidence of suicide? Social factors. Many of their friends relatives have died, creating a sense of loneliness, isolation, and of their own mortality. Homosexuals because of the societal stigma, because of the rejection, and because of other social factors suffer from elevated percentages of psychological problems. Does this means it is someone else's fault? No, since not ALL homosexuals have these problems, different folks cope with these issues differently... same as geriatrics.




Possibilities are just that. Are you suggesting its impossible gene alteration alone can affect an individual to great extent?

I am beginning to think this is pointless.

I could care less about orientation and focus more on behavior and you seem to be focused on orientation and care less about behavior.

I am not sure why anyone cares about orientation anyway if the behavior can be controlled. Applies to lots of things.

I care about how this argument is used to falsely identify homosexuals as being mentally ill because of their sexual orientation. That's why demonstrating the difference between orientation and behavior is key. Behavior is, mostly, irrelevant in this discussion.
 
The gay activist agenda is simple. They want their lifestyle to be equal to heterosexuality and accepted as such.

The problem with this statement is the word "lifestyle". I am certain that you are using it inaccurately.

Still sticking to the fallacy that somehow procreation equals sexual orientation? I have to say that this is one of the most inaccurate and ridiculous positions I have ever seen at DP.

Based on that, everything you say that stems from that foolishness is irrelevant and cannot be taken seriously.
