A STUDENT being asked to remove a T-shirt with a lesbian slogan has sparked a protest at a school in Melbourne's northwest.
About 30 students at Strathmore Secondary College last week rallied behind Year 12 classmate Stephanie, 17, after she was told by teachers to change out of the T-shirt for school photos.
Stephanie, who did not want her surname published, said she had worn a T-shirt bearing the slogan "Nobody knows I'm a lesbian" to school on several occasions without concerns being raised by staff or fellow students.
"I've had it for ages," she said.
But she said things changed when she wore it on school photo day, sparking concern among Year 12 co-ordinators.
She was quickly asked to take the T-shirt off.
"They said it was because certain parents would complain," Stephanie said.
Her mother, Susan, said she had had the controversial T-shirt printed for her daughter when she was about 15.
Susan said her daughter was brave to wear the T-shirt in public and particularly at school.
"I'm proud of her," she said. "I love her and I don't care what she is."
Stephanie said she was disappointed by the school's request for her to remove the T-shirt, but understood the concerns.
She said she would wear the T-shirt to school again once the issue had calmed down.
The incident triggered a protest by other Year 12 students, who turned up at school wearing T-shirts with similar slogans. They included "Nobody knows I am bulimic", "Nobody knows I'm pregnant" and "Nobody knows I'm on steroids". The students said they found the request to Stephanie discriminatory and an attack on free speech.
Stephanie said she was shocked by the amount of support she had received.
"It's pretty cool I guess," she said.
The school declined to comment this week.

Why did I just now flash on that Tom Green episode where he had lesbians painted on the hood of his parent's car and 'slut mobile' painted on the sides??

Lesbians equal ratings?
Yeah, I think every body knows.
She does have a right to free speech, and I don't think she should be an exception. My only thought though, imagine the uproar if someone wore a shirt that said 'Heterosexual Pride'.
Ever since I can remember, I knew that I was merely a lesbian trapped inside a man's body.

No, Please, Don't take it off! My eyes are bleeding!!!"
eww!

This could explain a lot.
Until we have an official 'Gun Owner Appreciation Week', I will not even think about recognizing all this tolerance crap. If my wish is granted, I still won't.
"She does have a right to free speech, and I don't think she should be an exception."
I disagree. Same-sex attraction disorder is a degrading, destructive, self-destructive mental disorder that manifests as a compulsion to engage in loathsome perversions. Statements denying that fall into the same category as yelling "fire" in a crowded theater, and may rightfully and constitutionally be prohibited.
Yikes--just what any mom/dad would want their daughter to grow to be.

"Yet I still believe that they are granted the right to speak their 'feelings' no matter how much I disagree with what they have to say."
It's not a matter of whether anyone disagrees, or how much, but of the harm done. I do not agree that leftists have any moral right to go around deceiving the naive and the stupid, or that they should have that legal right.
"That's a man, baby!"
"Nobody knows I'm a lesbian"
Then you're not doing it right.
