Nearly two decades after the Queer Youth Task Force first began honoring student leadership and ally support, its annual recognition ceremony will be hosted for the first time at Aptos High School next weekend.

The 19th Annual Queer Youth Leadership Awards, at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, will celebrate the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer allies and high school student leaders.

KEYWORDS:
Pajaro Valley High School senior Johnson Lumicao, one of four student leaders to be recognized, is “an out and proud queer student succeeding in all areas of life, and is a shining example for other students and queer youth,” according to program organizers.


So young man you have excelled in sports, art, music, math, science? None of these? You are receiving an award for being gay? Get ready for a disappointing life because the majority of us really don't give a darn.

Intersex is the new term for what used to be called hermaphroditism.

It really gets under my skin that they can label themselves as “queer,” but if I dared utter that word I’d be excoriated as bigot and homophobe. Well, guess what? If that label is good enough for them, it’s good enough for me. No more freaking alphabet soup labels. “Queers” it is.

So, they can call themselves queer, but if we do so we are bigots. Just like the blacks, who “nigga” each other incessantly, but heaven forbid we whites use niggardly in a sentence.
