I read an article today about a student who is suing his school for violating his freedom of expression because they are prohibiting him from wearing a t-shirt that reads "Jesus is not a homophobe" Now if he's gay happy and proud, why cant he just be gay happy and proud without causing contraversy and bringing negative attention to himself? I wonder how he would feel if another student wore a t-shirt that reads "homosexuality is a sin". After all, he's just excercising his freedom of expression rights.
Yeah, straight people don't shove their sexual preference down people's throats?

I'm assuming you think two men holding each others hands is going to far?

Just admit it. Gays bother you and you prefer things to be traditional and normal. You're entitled to your opinion, but it's hilarious that you yourself are ashamed of it!

Why don't you meet my straight brother and ask him about his weekend shenanigans and then we'll see if you ever want to see a hetero couple in public again.

Not only could be but is, in my opinion. How exactly is that relevant to the anything being said here though?

I believe this is more a case of the few extreme radicals calling constant attention to themselves. The ones I know are pretty laid back.

You're offended by somebody saying Jesus wasn't hateful?? That's weird.

FWIW, I think schools have every right to ban whatever clothing they want... not sure how this is news or controversial, but we all know the OP is a bit obsessed with everything gay-related! And judging by the theme throughout his threads, I think he just types "homosexuals and public schools" into Google - then saves up the results for one per day. Also weird.

The 1st amendment doesn't really apply in a high school (dress codes usually take care of that), but it's funny how they were screaming "liberals suppressing free speech again!" when it was about removing a religious mural... double-standard much?

P.S. The one thing - probably ONLY thing - I actually agree with from the OP? School uniforms. We really need to have those in public schools, as they do in most other countries.

One could say the same thing about letting a child be raised in a Conservative Christian household. In fact, that's far more damaging to a child than a parade.
