Default Ah, Texas...

I can't decided what's more troubling, that the parents are concerned about homosexuality, or that the schools have to have a "day" to show students what it's like for a woman to pay, open the door, etc.

...you mean the theory that if a boy dresses like a girl (or vice versa) or plays with dolls, etc., he'll grow up to be a [GASP] homosexual, then you're right, that troubles me, mostly because it's an inane point of view.

Didn't cost ME a thing, either, other than having to listen to your sanctimonious crap for another four years. Of course, I suppose I could log off at any time. But I'd miss you...

Default It's that time again!

Oh cool! It's time to talk trash about Texas again

I'll just go with my usual, the time tested "texas?? TEXAS?!? Holy dog s***!! Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy!! ..and you don't look much like a steer to me so that kind of narrows it down."


Ahh..there we go. Now I feel better

I think getting up in arms about this is pretty silly. Don't people have a sense of humor? ITS FUNNY!!!!

There is no reason to think this would lead to homosexuality as clearly any heterosexual male knows, being gay is no choice and cannot be affected by the clothes you wear. I don't know of any heterosexual man who became gay who wasn't hiding his gayness all along.

People need to chill.

Default As a man who frequently gets asked...

...about his "skirt", I'm under no illusions that clothes of any sort lead to homosexuality.

My position in this is simply that some peoples' culture contains such a belief, and if they're to tolerate (for example) SS' belief, she must similarly tolerate theirs if we're to be a truly free society (or societies).

True enough. I agree with that ideal. But I don't think SS is attempting to suppress or be intolerant of their beliefs. He simply disagrees. So do I. I don't think it is a big deal. But the majority rules as long as the minority is protected. I just think it is silly.

AAAAAHHHH, NOOOO, HOMOSEXUALITY!!!!

Begone from mine sight, vile demons of man-on-man love!!

Oh dear, once a year for a day is going to turn your precious child into a cross dressing homosexual freak? Promoting sexual equality from an early age, breaking down social boundries; ooo no, can't have that.

"Liberty Legal Institute" the very name sends shivers down my spine
