I'm as open-minded and tolerant as anyone. This exercise is beyond teaching tolerance.
Were you there? I wasn't, so I cannot and will not judge why (or how) a school chose to have this lesson. I thought people generally didn't believe the media, but I guess FOX is the one you do believe? Ironic, lol.
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. ....
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.
I never called anyone a "foaming at the mouth bigot," and wasn't even really commenting on this story - for which I've only seen a FOX News report, and anyone with half a brain knows they like to sensationalize and use "creative liberties" with their reporting. In fact, a few other posters have already shown links indicating they made up this whole thing.
And how do you know how I'd react to a boy & girl kissing? I kissed a boy by age 13, so that doesn't seem too shocking to me! This alleged lesbian kiss didn't even happen, let alone was it forced, so I don't really see how that's relevant anyway... if a kiss between students of ANY gender combination were actually forced, I would not approve of that regardless.
Oh, and I wasn't simply reacting to conservatives having a "different take on things" (LOL). I am responding to the overtly anti-gay comments, like the ones calling them nasty names and claiming there's some agenda being shoved down orifices; also challenging the story itself, and how some people here will use any half-truth to let us know how much they hate gays in general. You really need to look in a mirror sometime, because it's not me who is being ugly or hypocritical.

Perhaps because it's not a "different take" - it's fact-free nonsense.
Do you ever ask yourself why anti-gay 'foaming at the mouth bigots' need to make up crap all the time?
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.
Not really (as already explained above, the straights do more shoving into ALL orifices) - but thanks for playing!
And yes, I fully realize it's a figure of speech... I just find it interesting how anti-gays always use that term. Sexually repressed, methinks?
