TEACHERS are being urged to stop using terms such as husband and wife when addressing students or families under a major anti-homophobia push in schools. The terms boyfriend, girlfriend and spouse are also on the banned list - to be replaced by the generic "partner" - in changes sought by the gay lobby aimed at reducing discrimination in classrooms...

They also need to stop using the words man, woman, boy, girl, he, she, him, her, lady, and gentleman and just use the word “it”.

It’s interesting to me that these special groups want laws to get what they want rather than education. What groups like these are doing is just ticking people off - they’ll never get any support for their ideas that way ....

A derisive term directed at Hetros by Gays is:

Breeders

Will that also come into vogue?

But there is no “agenda” at work. School systems around the world have all decided to make this change independent of any policy recommendations.

Ok, fine. As long as we can stop using the word “gay” and start using the term “butt-pirate” instead.

stick with the word “sodomite.” Sodomy is a crime is most societies everywhere - and, can I say it here? - a sin!

“changes sought by the ‘gay lobby’ aimed at reducing discrimination in classrooms”

... so it’s not the schools that’s initiating the changes ....

Hey, hey - enough of that logic stuff! I still haven’t heard the response I was promised by my homosexual nephew to my challenge to tell me why simple reproductive biology doesn’t completely negate the “I can’t help it” response to the truth that homosexual conduct is a choice.

I’ll wait....

Oh for crying out loud! Enough with catering to their every whim! I’m all for them going back in their respective closets, if they don’t like the way the world is. No wonder so many people hate them.
