No one is saying p.d.a. is necessarily ok......or not.....however this IMO...is over reacting.

However this particular instance was in private and ONLY seen AFTER school officials screened through camera footage...that's the crux of the issue along with the boys being gay.

In my lifetime I've seen thousands of heterosexual couples groping one another in public......you against that too. .

And frankly it's none of my business, nor yours, who kisses whom....nor do I care.....I think that's good advice for everyone regardless of sexual orientation.

Both of my uncles were college cheerleaders back in the day (waaaay back). The were tumblers and did gymnastics too. Not gay. Many competitive teams have males to do the lifting.

I'd bet $100 right now that there's security camera footage of boys kissing girls that haven't resulted in either getting suspended or getting kicked out of the EC. if I was this kid's lawyer, I'd demand all footage and go through them. chances are, they'll find something pretty quickly if this school is like any other school filled with hormonal teens

That area is one of the more ignorant parts of our country. Rural south Texas isn't exactly the bastion of progressive thought and kumbaya rallies.

Trust me. I lived in the Rio Grande Valley for many years.

What was a "male cheerleader" doing on the cheerleading team anyway? Just another homo looking for attention and boy did he get it, suspended from school even.

In some religions being gay is just not acceptable thank God for that. This is in texas the bible belt, not fruity-tootie california or NY.

I was gonna post something smart to counter you but seeing as you are from Alabama I see it will probably fly right over your head.

Do us a favor and stay in your cesspool of a state.

People are clearly partaking in outrageous, socially unacceptable behavior so that people will react and they can run to the media talking about how they were wronged.

Enough is enough. Kick this kid out of school. He is clearly trying to distract and obstruct the already challenged learning environment.
This . School isn't a place for social activism or anything like that. Kids have too much free time in school, IMO. No wonder Americans are getting dumber and dumber and east Asians keep getting smarter.

So what you are saying is a school rule was broken but because no-one was around to see it it's ok.

If they were seeking privacy why didn't they go in the bathroom?

Has nothing to do with gay, has everything to do with kids not following the rules and their stupidity of making out in front of CCTV...

The excuse used sounds the same and just as lame as a person busted for speeding...

"Why don't you guys spend your time chasing down criminals instead of stopping me for nothing except speeding"
