Are you still so angry that you lost the war that you need to besmirch the greatest president in the history of this country? After Obama of course.

It's actually not an uncommon theory. Sexuality of Abraham Lincoln - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But, of course, only a theory.

Are people up there actually trying to become as stupid as possible, or what?

If City-Data teaches us one thing, it's that stupidity doesn't recognize state lines.

Wasilla High School Principal Bans Bohemian Rhapsody Because Freddie Mercury Was Gay

Wasilla,Alaska ...where the men are men, and the sheep are scared.

Freddie did not push his sexual preferences on anyone, and he did not take into this principle's living room either. This guy is a bigot, and a fool.

This should not have happened. Where do you draw the line if you start down this path? Our HS chior did this song acapella...it was amazing.

MIKEETC · 05-13-2011, 03:55 PM

Freddie Mercury was...gay!??

LOL

Yeah, so are all those other threads we see about small towns that 99.9% of American's wouldn't give a rats ass about either.

So the principal is against violence in artistic expression? Guess they won't be reading any Shakespeare with all the sword fighting and suicide and murder he wrote about. Poor kids
