Basically the story is about a Principle in the Memphis system, who posted publicly a list of students, due to her being fed up by their public display of affection. In addition, she notified the parents and that such outrageous behaviour wouldn’t be tolerated. Now, from the news story, it doesn’t say how many STRAIGHT COUPLES were outed, or how many of THEIR PARENTS WERE CALLED.
Though it does talk about a gay couple, who were outed. One in grade eleven, the other in grade ten, and their parents were informed.
Nicholas, an 11th grader at Hollis F. Price Middle College High School in Memphis, was allegedly named, along with his suspected boyfriend, 10th grader Andrew, on a list of couples posted by their principal, Daphne Beasley. (source)
The ACLU is supposedly taking up the case, and it makes you wonder, just what is going on with some people? I mean come, these are teenagers, and kids are cruel, when they want to be. So tell me again, how she did the right thing? Least that is the position of the School Board, and they claim she never made any reference or inference to the sexual orientation, merely named names. So let me see if I have this right, you are post names of COUPLES, and BOTH ARE MALES, but that isn’t saying they are GAY?
I wonder, is she that stupid, or are people just that homophobic in Memphis?
It is just one more clear example of why the GLBT Society can accept nothing but Marriage, in order to help erase this double standard. I don’t know, but I enjoy being able to walk hand in hand with the wife, in public. Just like any other COUPLE DOES.
This bullshit, is just that. It shows the racism that exists, and it makes you realize, if you are gay, just how Blacks must have felt when they were hounded, denied equality, simply for being different. Inter racial couples were hung, beaten, and spit upon, and yet no one seems to understand, that is how gay couples feel today, specially in America.
