lol... I can't win.

Then explain why when a gay woman has a baby it is no more likely to be gay it's self than if a normal woman had the baby.



I was giving a example that's a bit higher on the homosexual end of the spectrum. The example I should have given was a guy dating a woman with a man butt, or a musclely woman, or something of that nature.
And I may be ignorant but I'm not ignorant to the feelings of others. When we talked about the subject of gay in my psych class several people got grossed out. 3-5 in a class of 25.
I don't know. But a random survey usually yields a pretty accurate result.
Anyway the most likely cause of the gay is a mixture of culture influences, genetic influences, and choice.


Kissing=/= sex.

Prom is suppose to be a good time, one of the best moments in highschool, then some fat dyke comes marching in with her ugly girlfriend and they are kissing up on each other and shit.

You're not ignorant to other's feelings? I'm forced to use your own words against you again.

High school prom doesn't have 25 people.

And those were just the people who showed their discomfort.

Besides 3>2. Instead of ruining 2 gay's prom they ruin 3 normal people's prom.

Lol I didn't say that I respected or cared about them. Just that I notice them. But again in terms of the greater good 3>2.

And it is abnormal seeing as only 4% of the world population is gay, it was also classified as a disease before. Can't say that heterosexuality was diagnosed as a psychological disorder before.

zebra_boy said:
Another fallacy. People aren't born gay, but people aren't cornered into being gay either.

I don't see why you guys keep harassing zebra. Everything he's said so far has been the complete truth. Of course, all you damn pagans and atheists just can't seem to repress your argumentative natures.
This ^.

Homosexuality is just like left-handedness. I've tried convincing people that left-handedness is a disease too, since it's abnormal and disturbing (only 7-10% of people are left-handed), but no, liberals seem to revel in being all different and non-conformist. Every time I see a person pick up a pencil with his or her left hand, I can't seem to prevent myself from getting nauseous. One time, I was seated on an airplane next to a left-hander and couldn't stand the thought of him filling out the Times' crossword puzzle with his gross wrongly dominant hand, so I left and took the next plane, getting to the hospital eighteen hours late and six hours after my mother's death. Of course, it was all worth it to avoid those stupid left-handers.
This too ^.

I've never heard any stories about boys being born faggots wanting to fuck their male doctors in the asses. All men are born straight, and it has to be the devil's work that turns them into homosexuals. When I was born, I was already lusting after my nurse; the way she was sweating like a dog like she'd been screaming for an hour with her blouse slightly open and her pink tank top showing made it obvious that she was clearly asking for it. In my childhood, all of my friends were completely straight, but one of them turned gay somehow. I think he had been cursed by the devil for not attending church one day. Even though we had all begun flirting and picking up hot bitches when we were about 14 months old, he didn't start until 14 years. Sickening stuff. I had my first girlfriend when I was 2 and had my first kiss a week after. Four months after we began dating, I had finally rounded all three bases and hit home with her (which was on my third birthday). Of course, I met even more gay kids throughout elementary school who kept saying shit like 'girls have cooties, girls have cooties' and some other homo stuff like the gays they were. They didn't start dating the opposite sex like real men until they were 13 or 14 or some shit, like something suddenly happened and they suddenly liked girls. To this day, I still think they're faking it, since even though one of them goes home with a different girl every night, he's just putting on a show while he gives it to their brothers, faggot that he is.

So yeah, damn homosexuals. I hope they all die like the diseased vermin they are. I can relate to that school board, since if any girl at my prom whipped out a penis and started fucking her girlfriend, I'd definitely stab her, since the only cure for homosexuality is death. If this doesn't stop soon, we might be seeing left-handed homosexuals in the future, and then all justice in the world will be gone.

sex-appropriate attire.

Feel like it could have been resolved if they just wore a dress instead of a tux. Girls take their friends who are females to prom often.
Then nobody, teacher wise, would have known it was her girlfriend. It's not like they allow you to dry hump each other or make out at prom. If you're dancing too close to another person the teacher comes out and cock blocks you.
Stupidity on her part.

What do you think would happen if a guy went wearing a dress?

What's wrong with a guy wearing a dress or women wearing pants? It makes no sense. Clothes are essentially designed for protecting our bodies from outside elements and for covering our nakedness.

People only feel threatened by the idea of a man wearing a dress because he would be wearing something that would make him "less of a man" in the eyes of other men. And that would make everyone insecure, since they don't like the idea of a man being anything but a man. So then they ostracise him for wearing what is just a piece of CLOTH.

Yoo-jin said:

I really feel constrained from societal norms of the regulations of the behavior of men. It's not the norm for men to "feel emotional" other than anger which can certainly take its toll.

Same could be said for women and their perception of being "purely emotional" as well.

ukonkivi said:

Now I feel even more sick to my stomach.
As if I needed even more repugnant experiences making me a disgruntled AndrogyFascist TransNazi.

Enforcing this...disgust. I just...I just. Oh God. I shudder to even speak of what is on my mind right now.

tehnominator said:


The thing is, I feel extremely sorry for men because they've been conditioned for hundreds of years in this side of the planet to deny certain aspects of their humanity. A lot of people say that men aren't supposed to be soft or emotional or cry. Which is rubbish. When a young boy or young girl falls down, isn't it okay for them both to cry? But why years later when something hurts a man, he has to bear it and when it hurts a woman, it's fine if she expresses that pain? It's truly unfair to men that they've been concretised and dehumanised.

Thinking that men are more strong or women are more emotional is utter nonsense, to be honest. We just live in a world where it's okay men to do this, this and this, but they cannot do that, that and that.

But aren't men and women capable of feeling the same emotions since we're the same species, we have the same genetic make-up and we do have the same range of emotions? It really is sad to think that men are actually more marginalised than women and they don't even know it.

Actually, the guys who wear dresses in public aren't people you want to fuck with. I've both personally known and heard of amateur fighters who dress up in drag for the hell of it, (as well as rugby and football players) and even if it's a tranny drag queen, they combine the physical strength of a man with the hysterical violence of a woman.

That being said, I understand that a rural school district being homophobic sucks and everything, but calling in the ACLU was a similarly classless and selfish act that ruined it for everyone else.

It's also possible, although the article doesn't mention it, that this rule was enacted so that the lesbians in question didn't get beat up/sexually assaulted by the other students.

Which, of course, would be a much bigger problem for the school than them not attending the dance.

Yoo-jin said:


Somehow, I would think that (seeing as they haven't really kept it a secret), they could've been beaten up a long time ago or been beaten up prom or not. Does this arbitrary rule really defend them from being beaten up?

Defiance said:
If you have a problem with what YV said, bring it up with him. I just took note of the fact he wasn't completely denouncing the school like so many others in the thread have.

Obviously the situation was causing a political fiasco with the ACLU being brought in so not to undermine their position and not deny the student from entering, they canceled it.

Growing up in the deep south(Texas and the last 2 years of HS in Jackson, MS) I can assure you I would feel uncomfortable with lesbians showing up dressed in tuxedos. Most people down here prefer a more traditional approach to everything. It's not that we hate gays, but to attack such a simple tradition as boys showing up in tux's and girls coming in dresses is considered offensive.

EDIT: I'm not even religious so don't think that is taking any part of my view.

YoungVagabond said:


You've never been to a prom, have you?

At prom, people get drunk, rowdy, and since it's the end of high school, really let loose. Things that they would have refrained from a few months ago because of possible suspension/expulsion suddenly become enticing. There are usually a decent amount of fights at prom.

I can easily imagine some good old boy about to start his blue-collar job in two weeks getting drunk, and getting together with his buddies to harass/beat up/sexually assault the couple.

Yoo-jin said:

Hmm... Perhaps it is a legitimate concern, then. I concede that there may certainly be dangers if that is the case. However, I still find it wrong to wish to beat up someone simply because they dress "in the wrong clothes".

Yoo-jin said:
I certainly know that it's difficult for people to just change tradition. It's "just how things have been." Like a sort of rite of passage and something that should show how things have been. I just don't agree with it.

YoungVagabond said:


It's certainly wrong, everyone's agreed on that point, but unfortunately, it's also the reality.

I remember in Russia (where I was born) a few years ago, there was a gay pride parade interrupted by a group of old grannies and grandfathers and a group of Nazi white supremacists joining forces to chase and attack the homosexuals. If the police hadn't shown up, they probably would have been ripped to shreds.

Obviously, it wouldn't have been as bad in an American high school, but safety is still a huge concern at any prom, let alone in a case like this.

Defiance said:
That's just the kind of mentality that we consider insulting. You believe our entire society needs to be changed when we like it just the way it is.

You just don't agree with it? Then move away. Liberals believe a 15 year old is perfectly mature enough to go get an abortion without parental consent(or even knowledge). Why aren't they mature enough to quit bitching and just move away to an area with like minded individuals when they turn 18?

To me, your argument sounds just as valid as a conservative complaining about all the gay couples in San Francisco showing up at their prom wearing whatever they wanted. They don't like it? Then move away.

This is the whole reason states have their own laws, so they can serve themselves best to the state's believes.

John Stuart Mill said:
But the strongest of all the arguments against the interference of the public with purely personal conduct, is that when it does interfere, the odds are that it interferes wrongly, and in the wrong place. On questions of social morality, of duty to others, the opinion of the public, that is, of an overruling majority, though often wrong, is likely to be still oftener right; because on such questions they are only required to judge of their own interests; of the manner in which some mode of conduct, if allowed to be practised, would affect themselves. But the opinion of a similar majority, imposed as a law on the minority, on questions of self-regarding conduct, is quite as likely to be wrong as right; for in these cases public opinion means, at the best, some people's opinion of what is good or bad for other people; while very often it does not even mean that; the public, with the most perfect indifference, passing over the pleasure or convenience of those whose conduct they censure, and considering only their own preference. There are many who consider as an injury to themselves any conduct which they have a distaste for, and resent it as an outrage to their feelings; as a religious bigot, when charged with disregarding the religious feelings of others, has been known to retort that they disregard his feelings, by persisting in their abominable worship or creed. But there is no parity between the feeling of a person for his own opinion, and the feeling of another who is offended at his holding it; no more than between the desire of a thief to take a purse, and the desire of the right owner to keep it. And a person's taste is as much his own peculiar concern as his opinion or his purse. It is easy for any one to imagine an ideal public, which leaves the freedom and choice of individuals in all uncertain matters undisturbed, and only requires them to abstain from modes of conduct which universal experience has condemned. But where has there been seen a public which set any such limit to its censorship? or when does the public trouble itself about universal experience? In its interferences with personal conduct it is seldom thinking of anything but the enormity of acting or feeling differently from itself; and this standard of judgment, thinly disguised, is held up to mankind as the dictate of religion and philosophy, by nine-tenths of all moralists and speculative writers. These teach that things are right because they are right; because we feel them to be so. They tell us to search in our own minds and hearts for laws of conduct binding on ourselves and on all others. What can the poor public do but apply these instructions, and make their own personal feelings of good and evil, if they are tolerably unanimous in them, obligatory on all the world?
