See? Those damn gays are at it again. They won't be happy until everything is rainbow colored and all straight people are indentured servents!

They have had that club at the local high school ever since I lived in this city, 2001.

Here is the funny thing though. One week every year is Gay Pride Week at the high school. There are posters up of guys hand in hand or in a hug. Or girls too.

And there is one day when it is called Break the Silence. Kids can wear ribbons to show support of gay people. And if they do, all day long they do not speak. So no teacher can even ask them to answer questions in the classroom.

Later in the day, after school, they all parade to a nearby park and all at once, shout to break the silence.

I just find this so unusual since I am sure there would be many a group that would not be given that kind of leverage in the classroom to not respond to a teacher. To have posters that demonstrate their "affections"...shoot, they don't have posters up of kids carrying Bibles or the Quaran. And they are even not suppose to show PDA in the school ...like a boyfriend and girlfriend hugging or walking the halls hand in hand.

I don't blame the principal...in fact, I respect that he was honest enough to not compromise his own convictions. That means too, that up til now, he administrated with integrity and true to his own principles.

I agree. If the principal felt that strongly about the GSA that he would rather quit, it was appropriate for him to quit.

He has his integrity, and by now, a more tolerant person has his job.
Everyone wins.

2 days a year to show your support for gay people and the rest of the year to show support for straight people. I don't think it is too much to ask for.

It defies need to show respect to anyone based on what they do to satisfy their sexual selves.

And no, Cubbie...every other day of the year is not a day of demonstrating "respect" for straight people. How absurd that statement is!

How shallow and dishonest of you to still insist that being gay is entirely about "what they do to satisfy their sexual selves."
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

What does it have to do with then? I might be shallow, I dunno. But I am not being dishonest!

It has been explained to you numerous times. At least twice by myself. Either you are incredibly dishonest or you are incapable of retaining information. Either way, I don't intend to waste time trying to explain the nature of marital relationships to one who is obviously not going to benefit from that effort.
