P.S. Most of the gay people I know are 10x more "decent" than all members of the anti-gay army I've encountered. Decency is not dependent upon being the majority, as somebody who claims to support minorities (like yourself) should already know.
I'ld have to say shoving down throats was a figure of speech since gays are more apt to shove things in another orifice somewhat lower than the throat.

Good grief!! I would really like to see someone pop in and defend this. Just to see if some kind of rationale actually applies to it. What possible benefit could anyone with half a brain cell, gay or straight, see in this kind of nonsense. ....

I'm as open-minded and tolerant as anyone. This exercise is beyond teaching tolerance.

If the kissing isn't forced, I don't see anything to defend. There's nothing wrong with it.

Kids get suspended for kissing in school, why should these people be encouraging it?

If a person is going to argue on behalf of the issue and the Supt's job.. they will loose the argument. Its as simple as that and there is no one in the world who could rationally defend .

I haven't seen the Fox story but I will note that the one posted here didn't saying anyone was forced to kiss but I will ask again.....did they have lesbian students role play a straight role?

Somewhere tonight George Orwell's head must be spinning.

Seems every time a conservative has a different take on things, some liberal comes along and accuses them of being anti-something while a liberal is pro-whatever.

I guess when you can't win the argument with facts, dismissing the other person for being a foaming-at-the-mouth bigot saves the embarrassment of being shown to be dead-*** wrong and a hypocrite besides.


How is it even possible to be "anti-gay"?

Is someone hitting homosexuals with a rolled-up newspaper every time they check-out a member of their own sex?

Do they get a cookie if they make a pass at a member of the opposite sex?


People who support the homosexual agenda are pathetic!

If a 13-yr-old boy was asked to give a heterosexual kiss to a 13-yr-old girl, you would lose your mind.
