I remember telling my mom about it... She was a bit more accepting than I anticipated, maybe even too much >.>
I say that because at one point I brought up sex, and she was all like "well sex is a beautiful thing..." I think my heart skipped a beat. XD |
I know lots of people who went to prom with friends.
And equal treatment means everyone is under the same rules. There was a rule saying no same-sex partners allowed. All students had to abide by this whether they were hetero, homo, black, white, green, Jewish, Christian, etc. |
Sorry, I just wanted to point out that when the flaming and arguing stopped, so did everybody else. This thread has turned into something it really shouldn't have, and if our society wasn't so ignorant, it wouldn't be that way.
Well, I don't think I have to worry about my mom, it is everybody else I have to worry about XD; |

No same sex partners?
That their missy is what we call "discrimination". |

Discrimination is when people are treated differently. Everyone was bound under that same rule so no one was treated differently. If a straight student wanted to bring a same-sex date they would have been turned down as well.

My stand on this honestly, is that a person should have the right to be with someone they love. Whether it be the same gender, the opposite, or whatever the case may be. I don't think someone should force themselves to like something for the pleasure or desire of others. It's basically changing yourself to be someone you're not and at the end just leaving you unhappy.
There are many haters out there who discriminate against people who are either Gay, Lesbian, Bi, or Tran-sexual. They have this one set mind that a person is born who they are and should pair up with the opposite gender for the sake of all that is good. What good is it to live in a world that lives their lives on the same standards as everyone? As people, we are all individuals and we are given the right of freedom. Isn't love a choice based on freedom? I would think so, and to hold someone back from marrying a person they love because they are the same gender is basically neglecting the freedom of those people. I know there will always be those who fight against all who are gay, lesbian, Bi, and Tran-sexual. However, the point being, you can't stop people from not being who they are and therefore you can't stop people from being with the person they love or share feelings for. Quote:
I've seen cases where students were bullied or harassed on because they might have been gay, and personally it just shows the immaturity people have to respect what someone else may be like. Relatively, it's discrimination on a person like the girl with prom for example. That my friend is a pure case of discrimination. |

@ freaky: lol green people
@ freaky again: if you were straight, you wouldn't bring a same-sex partner with you. =/ |

"Discrimination: treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit" The rule obviously targets one group: homosexuals. |

I do however like guys who have a somewhat toned body, so I might be one to speak, but I do want to say that my standards aren't specific. :3 Maybe I should just go out and meet people. XD |

I don't agree with the rule at all so don't get to thinking that.
It's just the school board who made those policies are elected by the community so the rule represents the communities attitude to the situation, not just the school administration. |
Anyway, is there anyone who is gay that wants to be my friend? :laugh:;)

I'll be your friend! XD :P
You know... actually I'd want to present a challenge for everyone that hasn't come out yet (and for those that have, to pursue their interests that bit more). Thus that is to say, that if you haven't come out yet, to perhaps give hints in that direction, if you feel comfortable in doing so. Or for those who have already come out, to go for example to their local LGBT centre or some sort of meet up. I'm not trying to make people feel uncomfortable, or forcing anyone, I just don't want people to be stuck in the shadows because of what some people have deemed to be "wrong". And I said it before, I'll say it again: more often than not, love takes precedent over fickle things like sexuality, thus your parents should love you regardless. Those parents who do not understand, should be shown the light. (you know for some odd reason, this made me think of the challenge Tyler Dursden put out in Fight Club). XD errr don't hurt people though. |

Although some people are oblivious and won't recognize your hints. (There's also the 'selectively' oblivious type. Some of which will try to remain oblivious even after you came out to them. That's what I deal with a lot. -_-) |
