DENVER – A high school valedictorian received a standing ovation when she came out as gay during her graduation speech in her Colorado mountain town, in contrast to the treatment received by a Boulder-area top student who was banned from making a similar affirmation.

This is a 2nd, separate occurrence from the one that happened in Boulder, where the principle outed the student and barred him from giving the speech. Apparently, this one was allowed to go forward with their "courageous" speech...

When exactly did it become cool to be gay???

For years, we have been told we need to be tolerant, that we need to live and let live, that we need to accept that people are gay ,and just be tolerant of other lifestyles.

But now, it seems that it is actually a positive or cool thing to be gay. We’re not just tolerating homosexuality, we are actually celebrating it. When exactly did this happen???

Are lesbians now considered “gay”? I thought the term gay implied male but maybe that’s no longer PC?

Why would someone take that very special moment in all of their classmates and families and communities event to focus on their sexual preference?

Right? Would have been more impressive if she would have come out as Christian...now THAT would have been courageous.

Gay can be either male or female. Gay means either male or female homosexual.

Lesbian is specifically for female homosexuals.

Why this is, I don’t know, but that’s how these words are used.

Here’s an idea that people (all people) really need to understand;

No one gives a rat’s behind about your sexual preference!

If there are copycat crimes, then it’s obvious that the temptation to get a few cheap ovations and pats on the back are irresistible to otherwise unremarkable teenagers desperate to stand out.

Left in the dust is the previous claim from gays that they are normal and simply wish to be left alone to live their lives like anyone else.

I am reminded of the kid who, envious of those silly hat-choosing ceremonies for high school athletes, staged his own bogus ceremony even though he was a) not an athlete and b) not being recruited.

The audience clapping like trained seals is a combination of self-regard (they’re sensitive, caring souls) and the usual weakness of character that compels them to run with the herd.

4 years in school and these so-called academic achievers can’t discuss an academic subject? A favorite novel? Play? Scientist? Instead, we hear about sexual practices?

Unchecked narcissism, a complete lack of class and a media that cheers on such lunacy.

Who cares? She has achieved not yet, other than grades. Why did she tell us this? Does she expect a Nobel Prize, or a telephone call from Obama?

So what do you do then, when the attributed that primarily defines you as a person concerns your crotch? Most people spend about 0.01% of their time copulating. What then?
