"even what you say were true and orientation were a choice, would it be acceptable to discriminate against African Americans if there was a pill you could take that would make you white?" There isn't,... but on the other hand, whites can take pills, skin creams, and tanning sessions, to look more like blacks. (Read, for example, John Howard Griffin's Black Like Me.) So why should whites fear or hate or discriminate against blacks anyway? Don't beat 'em, join 'em!

everyone that is saying that it is the girls fault that the prom got ruined, apparently have no decent values and i hope that you dont have children because like mr Wright said, your the reason everyone is so set back. the fact the prom was ruined was because the school administration are nothing but a big group of ignorant uneducated prejudice wastes of space. that girl had courage and guts to stand for her rights. Im tired of everyone thinking that they have the right to judge anyone. sexuality isnt what seperates us. we have a life and focus on us and only us. you, have no life and focus on ours. we dont judge and we dont hate you for who you were born to be. you judge and you hate us for who we are because your not entirely sure or secure about who you are. the people that are as homophobic as you people are the people that are the most scared that their sexuality is the same as ours. your so threatend by us that you lash out to cover up what you cant admit to yourself.

Mr Right:”Becuase the Atheist Communist Lickers Union decided to butt in school policy as they always do. I do not live too far away from where this incident happened and I will tell you that more residents are angrier at the ACLU and the girl than the school district. People do not seem to realize that we hold to pur values very strongly here and we refuse to give them up to anyone.”

Mr. Wright,
You are blaming the ACLU for your own views and actions. Those in charge of the school ruined the prom, not the girl. People like you are ruining yet another generation of kids by teaching them hate.

The values you say you hold so strongly are those of hate, you need to release those values and replace them with compassion. It is exactly those views that has kept your part of the country 50 years behind the rest of the country and 100 years behind the rest of the world.

Mr.Wright, you are once again Mr. Wrong. Your argument is a specious one that won’t go away. You don’t have to hate someone to assault or kill them. People do those things out of fear, out of anger (that is not the same as hate), out of total indifference to the humanity or even the reality of other people. The great thing about hate crime laws is that they take away what I call the “Good Old Boy Defense”, the appeal to prejudices that they jury might share. “I couldn’t stand to see him with a white woman.” “He made a pass at me and I ain’t no queer”.

The worst thing about this is, the school can and most probably will put the blame on the girl. Would you want to be the girl who ‘got prom cancelled’ when there’s still a fair share of the year to go?

The problem with “hate crime” is that it is two simple words … “hate” and “crime” stuck together to mean something that is not exactly what it seems to mean. To understand what a “hate crime” is you have to do more than just read the four letter word followed by the five letter word and then rant about it. You have to learn something new. You have to find out something you didn’t know.

And that is too hard for many people to do. Yet, people who don’t bother to do that look so ignorant. So terribly terribly ignorant.

Someone mentioned a hate crime here. I would love an explanation of “hate crime”. Has a crime of any kind ever been commited out of love? I guess serial killers are not hate crime criminals? I suppose they kill out of sheer love for their victim? All crimes are hate crimes. Victimizing one particular race or gender, etc. and renaming it for politcal status is sickening.

The constitution actually protects the people from the government. it also protects us from socialism and communism and liberalism. So far there have been alot of traitors in washington.

Read the constitution as it is written, not for how it is possible written and we’ll all be alot better off. Also the constitution protects us from your Obama HELLthcare plan via the 10th amendment. Don’t believe me? Just ask the state of Virgina.

“The school district in this case done the right thing by standing up for what was right. I beliee in education reform.”
I am glad that you “beliee” in education reform, because, obviously, your primary school failed you badly. Maybe it is not too late to sue them for letting you graduate without a command of basic spelling and grammar and for even failing to teach you how to use a spell-checker.
Don’t forget to update us when you can use the English language properly.

teri, even what you say were true and orientation were a choice, would it be acceptable to discriminate against African Americans if there was a pill you could take that would make you white?

You sound like you’re saying that those gays are just too uppity and need to learn their place.

Why is it that the argument of gay and gay right’s advocates always include a comparisom to the struggles of black people? Its reallty getting on my nerves that gay people think they have a right to push their sexuality in the faces of society. The girl could have gone to her prom and taken her girl-want to act like guy friend to the prom. She did not have to TELL he world her SEXUAL prefference. What is really getting me is that homesexuality is being pushed like it is right and there for acceptable. Just because I accept that your gay does not make it right for all society. People need to look for dignity and intelligence in this debate. If you really want to know where to draw the line ask yourself can a gay couple procreate with out some kind of outside assistance, and yes straight people have a problem procreating but not because they are metobolically different. Love who you want, sex who you want, but don’t say its NATURAL and RIGHT when its not.
