>>>You really should read the article more closely before responding, because it clearly states the school had a strict dress code.
Hence she asked for permission to go outside the dress code. Had permission been denied she could have dressed as a slut and fit in with the rest of her classmates, but I don’t really see that as an improvement. Ladies have been wearing trousers for almost a century now. Most people don’t get the vapors at the sight. Darn you Kate Hepburn.
The matter of the gender of her date apparently was not so particularly limited. This left the school unable to block the girls other then to cancel the entire dance.
Or put another way, if they DID have controlling rules in place, why not just enforce them instead of taking away the prom from all the “nice” people? How is that so complicated?
The right move would have been to change the rules for next years prom. As clueless as they come off in this story, they’d probably screw that up too though.
I read fine, thanks. Usually anyway.
Why do we have to be tolerant of them, not name call and accept their deviant behavior? A lot of homosexuals are the most intolerant hateful name calling group around.
“Girls dancing together is an abomination ? Just a tip, avoid Rockefeller Center. There are some girls there called Rockettes, and they dance together 50 at a time. Saints preserve us.”
That’s silly. It is the intent behind these two lesbian’s actions in question here. It is their homosexual agenda. I doubt the Rockettes are dancing in a line together because of their sexual interest in one another.
Call me a party pooper but I think if proms were called off everywhere, it would be just fine. It is a sink hole for money and energy. I think they are way out of hand. Maybe the school decided that too.
It is really curious to me what so many parents will give their kids for something like the prom which is fun but so unimportant to the rest of their lives. But same parents won’t make their kids do anything they don’t want to do even if it would be best for them.
Why? To what? Any fetish is acceptable? ANY fetish just to keep it "fair?" Why should they change their entire culture because two out of thousands couldn't get their heads on straight?
Maybe they like their rules, so why change them? Why don't the two girls just wear a dress and get over it for the sake of the entire school? Why do they think their fetish is more important than everyone elses prom night?
You mean the Rockettes are a bunch of lesbians shoving their lifestyle in your face? If not, then you don’t seem to get the issue.
tlb: “The matter of the gender of her date apparently was not so particularly limited.”
From the article: “A February 5 memo from the school to students noted that each student may invite one guest to the prom and that the guest “must be of the opposite sex.””
The school only canceled the prom AFTER the ACLU threatened to sue if the school didn’t bend its rules to accommodate the lesbian, which gets back to my earlier point that the school has the right to set standards. You may think those standards are unreasonable. I might agree. Nevertheless, it isn’t OUR school.
If a lesbian can force the school to accommodate her wishes, what’s next? As I wrote earlier, homosexuals are not a protected class (and I hope they never are). If they were, she might have had a reasonable argument. Just because some liberals are trying to make an end run around the law by making sexual orientation equal to race, religion, national origin, etc., doesn’t make it so.
“Where do normal people draw the line”
Pity it’s something we even have to do. I dislike how these freaks keep pushing and pushing and pushing.
Tuxedoes are for men,lesbo!
They aren't punishing everyone. They are simply suggesting the prom be a private affair and not controlled by homosexual activists and the ACLU.
Maybe you don't. I certainly don't consider you one.
You are talking about straight women who are feminine, not butch lesbians. It’s not the same thing at all.
Go to you tube and look up drag kings. There is a video on how to bind the boobs and add facial hair in preparation for a lgbt prom in Hawaii.
>>>Maybe you don’t. I certainly don’t consider you one.
I’ll cry myself to sleep agonizing over your disapproval. Meanwhile my post particularly makes the point the ACLU is making an unsupportable argument, and expresses my disapproval of the collective punishment of the entire student body who did nothing wrong.
And in your sad alternate reality that’s “tub thumping for the ACLU” and “pushy lesbians”? geez
