Whoops! Lesbian 'Person of the Year' in Gay Press Goes Straight With Baby
http://newsbusters.org/ ^ | July 19, 2009 | By Tim Graham

In December 2005, Kerry Pacer, then 17, was featured on the cover of the national gay news magazine The Advocate as its "Person of the Year" — making her the youngest gay person to achieve that honor – for fighting for a "gay-straight alliance" at White County High School in Cleveland, Georgia. But there’s apparently no embarrassment for the gay press....when she takes on a boyfriend and they have a baby. In The Washington Blade, Dyana Bagby reported:

But today she lives with her boyfriend, a construction worker, and their baby daughter, Marley, who turns 1 year old on Saturday.

"Well, she’s the most beautiful blue-eyed girl in the world and everybody tells me that so I’m not just being biased, I swear," Pacer said with a laugh.

"I love every minute of motherhood. It’s been a very big challenge, however I love it. I’ve just been trying to work and go to school and take care of my family," she said.

Pacer, who first came out as gay at age 12, is studying nursing at Gainesville State College and hopes becoming a registered nurse will give her a career that will support her family.

"It’s me and the baby and Shannon [Phagan], who is my boyfriend. We’re still together right now," she said. "And he’s doing really good; he’s helping out a lot and he’s really good with the baby." Pacer and Phagan were friends in high school and hung out with the same people.

"Yeah, well, we got together in high school. We started liking each other and started building a relationship. It was just fate we got together," she said. "You can’t help who you fall in love with. No matter what, you have to be happy and follow your dreams and be who you are."

The gay left would usually endorse the phrase "you can’t help who you fall in love with," but maybe not so much in this slightly embarrassing case. Apparently, those people who insist homosexuality isn’t a choice or something you can change think Pacer’s choices are fine, as long as her politics remain aligned with the gay left:

Pacer stressed that while she is now in love with a man, she is the same person she was when she was battling school administrators to do something about incessant bullying taking place in the halls of White County High School. She and her friends were often called "dykes" and "faggots."

Pacer’s fight for a "gay-straight alliance" led to a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union. Three years ago, U.S. District Judge William O’Kelley issued a permanent injunction against White County schools, requiring that the GSA and other school clubs be allowed to meet.

The terms of the settlement agreement included policies for 9th through 12th grades that make it clear that harassment against "LGBT" students is not permitted on campus. The school also agreed to provide their faculty with annual "training sessions on how to deal with and prevent anti-gay harassment."

She claimed that she was a lesbian at age 12?

This provides proof of how far the homoxexuals have invaded our education system.

I went to school with a girl who claimed to be lesbian around the time I hit puberty. She must have been around 13. Pretty, nice girl...played on that team all the way through high school. Even met a couple of her “girlfriends.” None of them were butch...she had great taste. Lost track of her when I went to college. Found her on Facebook a few months ago. Married, with four kids. Never would’ve expected it, but can’t be surprised.

I know plenty of girls who have “experimented” with other girls. I think it’s more of a fad thing than anything else for most of them. I only know one current lesbian. Her daughter is very close friends with our daughter....we see her almost every day. Her mom was married at one point to a man, had their girl 8 years ago, got divorced, and then moved to San Francisco. Found out last year she got married to a woman.

and then there are women that go the exact opposite route.

get married, have children in their 20s. and are lesbians in their 40s.

No way a kid is going to know they are homosexual at 17 yrs old, not to mention 12!

Unless there is a sexual birth defect or a misalignment of genes in the makeup of the person.

The homo community is always lurking in the wings when puberty brings questions to males or females and confusion abounds about sex.

Then they pounce and convince innocent kids that they were born with the perversion of Same Sex Attraction Disorder.

Government encourages the same with their paranoia of faggotry and desire to please perverted lifestyles for political correctness.

The biggest problem is cowards running schools and government.

“and we don’t go voluntarily queer as a rule when incarcerated either like many felines do.”

Gay for the stay?

Al I can do is shake my head. This is what a relationship that was meant to be a deep and beautiful one, ordained by God between one man and one woman in holy marriage till death do them part, has been reduced to-a passing “pleasure”, an “identity” , a means of having babies to “fulfill” your own needs and selfish purposes instead of raising God-fearing, patriotic productive contributing citizens (and I don’t mean that in the socialist sense).

It was a life style choice before it wasn't a choice.

I’m not sure I really see the breathless news of the young self described lesbian hooking up with, rather then marrying btw, the young man. The Kinsey Scale always had same sex attraction vs hetero attraction ironically on an X-Y graph. Many gays would score some degree of attraction to the other gender. Some more and some less.

She says she is in love with the young man and perhaps she is. I just note though that she has kept her options open. No marriage means she can pack up her baby at any time and move on leaving the sperm donor behind. My guess is the roulette wheel in this game is still turning, and no final number has yet come up.
