Normally, I do not post on the gay thing because I believe that it is a personal choice that is made by consenting people and in that it is NONE of my business and definitely NONE of the government’s business….but from time to time there are stories that need to be exposed for the ludicrous crap that it is……
This one comes from the state that I live in…Mississippi…a cultural wasteland to begin with….but all kidding aside….a state that is still living, for the most part, in the 1950’s……
The AP is reporting:
A lesbian student who wanted to take her girlfriend to her senior prom is asking a federal judge to force her Mississippi school district to reinstate the dance it canceled.
The district’s decision Wednesday came after the ACLU demanded that officials change a policy banning same-sex prom dates because it said it violated students’ rights. The ACLU said the district violated McMillen’s free expression rights by not letting her wear a tux.
Same-sex prom dates and cross-dressing are new issues for many high schools around the country, said Daryl Presgraves, a spokesman for GLSEN: Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, a Washington-based advocacy group.
Southside Baptist Church Pastor Bobby Crenshaw said he’s seen the South portrayed as “backwards” on Web sites discussing the issue, “but a lot more people here have biblically based values.”
Itawamba County is a rural area of about 23,000 people in north Mississippi near the Alabama state line. It’s near Pontotoc County, Miss., where more than a decade ago school officials were sued in federal court over their practice of student-led intercom prayer and Bible classes.
Interesting? Being gay in Mississippi is a damnable sin, at least in the minds, the little minds, of the people in control. the reality is that the kids could care less about another’s sexual orientation….it is the old farts that control the schools and local government that are dictating their values to the kids……homosexuality is NOT as big a deal to 15 year olds as it is for 50 year olds that are still living in the past…..
Maybe a suggestion for those in control….”try minding you own business and let others lived their own lives without your interference”…..just a suggestion….I am sure it will fall on deaf ears….especially in the state of Mississippi…
Well, your title says it all really and there’s little to add – except perhaps to say that I tend to think it’s a lot more sinister than mere bullshit. Our countries will NEVER progress until the day that religions (all of them) are firmly and forcefully relegated to where they belong – a matter of personal choice and belief with NO business whatsoever interfering in the lives of people who do not invite them to do so!
This is sad that in the 21st century we still have such narrow minded horseshit possible…..I agree with you on the religion thing….the sooner the better for all mankind….
