School cancels Senior Prom rather than let a lesbian couple attend

I accept your apology.

So predictable - when you cant address the subject - deflect and attempt to insult.  Whatever.

Dope.

Like all the students don't already know she's lesbian. 

When I was in 5th grade, we wen't rollerskating where girls danced with one another.

I suppose they worry about the sexual component....well, at my prom, you didn't stick your tongue down your date's throat until AFTER the dance.  They should hold the lesbians to that same standard. Just cuz they are lesbian, I'm sure they assume they will start feeling each other up on the dance floor.

Instead of looking at it as a distraction, why not look at it as a teachable moment.  It's like people think others are going to catch the "homosexual disease" or something.  I still can't believe how ignorant people are. 

I still can't believe how ignorant people are

i grew up in the south.  it's like the world series of ignorance on a daily basis down here.  and when you add the kind of debilitating insecurity that comes with mixing rednecks and person, you multply that ignorance by thousands.

just don't go into the men's public bathroom in the mall.  conservative, religious right, anti-gay marriage larry craig might be in there looking for action.

For those of you are getting a bit offended for people who are dissing the south, try not to take it personally.  Let's face it, you do run into more rednecks in the south then the north.  It's just fact.  There are plenty of stupid people in the north too...don't get me wrong.

But I've traveled in the south.....some of this stuff is not just stereotypical....there is SOME truth to it.

Doesn't mean everyone lives in a trailer park, though. 

why do gay guys do it doggy style?

So they wont miss any of the Nascar race on TV 

You sure sound like a toe tapper to me.

Anyone who goes out of their way to be a homophobe almost always has something to hide.  Ted Haggard, Larry Craig, tideman etc.

Embrace it pal.  You will be a much happier person.

No shit.  I personally think that there isn't really a correlation between sexuality and political ideology.  There is however a correlation between sexuality/political ideology and happiness. 

Gay liberals move to San Francisco and go on to live very happy lives.  Gay conservatives beat themselves up and turn into self loathing homophobes.

I'm fairly certain that Tideman really wants to sleep with another dude, even if he won't quite admit it...even to himself.  If you really were straight, you wouldn't feel "threatened" by gay marraige.

Its OK.  Its 2010.  Most of the world doesn't care anymore.  Embrace it. You'll be a much happier person.

tallguy-

If you're gay, you almost can't help but lean to the left.  They tend to be more "gay friendly" in terms of their platform.  That doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of gay conservatives.....they probably believe in the conservative economic platform and don't really worry about gay marriage becoming legal, etc.  They probably make pretty good money...and maybe don't really care as much about some of the social agenda of the gay community.  Just my take. 

But I would be shocked if the number of gay people who were liberal was under 80-85%. 

And I never understood how being around a gay person made someone uncomfortable.  They might think you are hot, but they would never even think about hitting on a straight person.  Half the time they do certain things on purpose just to make a person uncomfortable (because they know they are a homophobe). 

They are as interested in hitting on a straight person as you are interested in hitting on a gay person.  FACT.

And the funny thing is, by posting "Yes you know exactly what I have been hiding, because I have been hiding it in your mouth!   Keep suckin it bro! " that this somehow infuriates me.

These people live in their own bubble of self loathing.  They dont realize that the rest of us dont care who sucks whos dick, or who is fucking who.  It is irrelevant.  It never crosses our minds.  I care as much about who fucks who or who gets married as I do what music you listen to or how you comb your hair.

The people who usually care are the ones who are aware of the fact that they have these confusing feelings, and respond by outwardly hating what they have come to be so confused about.  The rest of us dont even think about it, it just isnt on our radar - and it is confusing to us why it is such an issue to them - why they even care - or why they think the response quoted above would be insulting to us.

Not that you are saying this - but I am going to hijack your comment....

I dont understand the problem with getting hit on by a gay person anyway.  They are just another category of people you might not be attracted to, like fat people, skinny people, blondes or brunettes, or big boobs or small boobs.

If you get hit on by a gay guy, and you arent attracted to him, just tell them or act exactly the way you would if it was a woman you werent attracted to.

I find the comments "gay guys are fine, as long as they dont hit on me..." funny - who cares?  Why does anyone care so much?  Why does it ruin your day? 

once again - I know you werent saying this yourself - I hijacked your comment to make a point....
