Au contraire, not hardly. Schools are not a place for any kind of PDA, especially between gays.

Well, currently, nothing at all. But if gay marriage was legalized, I'd instantly turn gay, go find a boyfriend and marry him. Wouldn't we all?

No, I didn't mean anything like that, no violence. It's just not allowed and I like that. They'll have to go elsewhere if they want to paw one another.

lol... Yeah, I'm sure all the straight kids are suddenly going to stop showing signs of affection for each other.

And besides that, how often do you think anyone who is gay - whether it's a kid or an adult - is able to show signs of affection in public? Compared to the amount of hetero affection that we see every day, it's almost nonexistent.

Of course not, but it must be kept to a minimum in the hallways and activities relating to public education.

I have no idea what gays do in public except for what I see on TV when they're fighting for rights and that's enough for me.

How is it not allowed?
Is the land you live on owned by Jerry Fallwell or something?

There are rules in schools and they are to be followed. It's kind of like bringing alcohol to school.....It's just not allowed.

P.S. I can't stand Falwell and would have nothing to do with him.

Ahh, so THAT'S where you get your views of gays from-tv?
Interesting, to say the least.

People who named someone they knew personally
generally had more favorable attitudes toward gay men and
lesbians than did people who mentioned public figures.
People who could not name any homosexual had the most
negative opinions.
