I have a gay sister and a few gay cousins. I am a believer that people who are gay are born that way and I support the right for gays to marry each other. However, I also support the freedom of speech for those who do not agree. If people are allowed to preach tolerance and acceptance of homosexuals then likewise, those who disagree also have the right to express their disapproval as long as they are not harming anybody. I'm actually kind of impressed to see this school district taking that stance.
Also, does anyone else find it amusing the VP of the school's Gay Straight Alliance is named Michelle Bachman?
Anti-Gay Stickers At High School In Indio Touch Off Debate: Hate Speech Or Free Speech?
freedom of speech can be limited in schools. and anti-bullying laws are totally appropriate. the school shouldn't create an environment where it is ok to bully gay teens. this is both because again, kids shouldn't be bullied in school; and b) the rate of attempted suicide for gay kids is about 50%; for transgendered kids it's far higher.
the schools should do anti-bullying programs...not allow people to be victimized by school mates.
Expressing your opinion of disagreeing with homosexuality is no less bullying than expressing your opinion for it, as long as nobody is getting physically harmed or directly harassed.
Bull. your bigotry is no one's problem but you own. and school, like work, should not be a hostile environment. but thanks for wanting to make the world a disgusting place.
Then the rainbows need to be banned along with the rainbows with the slash through it. If you can't have one, then you should not have the other.
see, I don't understand how you compare the two.
this is what makes me question the type of people who claim to be conservative.
You don't tell me who you prefer sex with. I won't tell you who I prefer sex with. It is not my business who you sleep with, it is not my business nor do I care. It is not you business who I sleep with, why would you care. The government doesn't need to get involved, the government shouldn't care and leave all the BS at home, don't take it to work, school or anywhere else.
If you want to announce your sexual preference to the world then others can express their opinion about your opinion. They are all opinions.
