December 18, 2002 -- LOS ANGELES - A 15-year-old student who was banned from the girl's locker room at her school because she is a lesbian filed a federal civil-rights lawsuit yesterday in a case that tests the rights of gay students.

**She's a girl. Where the hell is she supposed to change for gym class?**

She's a girl with sexual attraction to other girls. No different than if a boy was in the locker room while girls were showering and changing clothes. She doesn't belong in there.

I remember when they tried to denigrate the schools here, local civil rights leaders went NUTSO over it and the movement quickly lost steam... :/

[wimpycat]

Then where is she supposed to go to change her clothes for gym class? The broom closet?

[Treebeard]

That quote from the girl should be the liberal motto:

"It's fine if you're uncomfortable" as long as we get to do what we want in front of you.

[TamiPie]

Perhaps our gay friend shouldn't flaunt her sexual preference during school hours. What's her point? No wonder some girls feel uncomfortable. I would too.

[Treebeard]

If sin is uncomfortable, more lubricant is needed. :)

[homeschool mama]

I'm assuming you're a man...would you feel comfortable disrobing with a gay man eyeing you up and down?

Broom closet is fine...in another building.

She's a girl with sexual attraction to other girls. No different than if a boy was in the locker room while girls were showering and changing clothes. She doesn't belong in there.

So, the correct calculus for determining where one should change clothes is "in the room filled with people you aren't sexually attracted to," not "with people with similar genitals"?

[homeschool mama]

exactly!

[wku man]

"...assuming that she simply declared her sexual orientation."

If she's a she, meaning she has all the mechanics of a female, her sexual orientation is female. If she likes girls, her sexual preference is lesbian.

Okay, I know I'm nitpicking, and I apologize. But words do mean things, after all. The queer agenda has made a decided effort over the last year or so to get people to stop using the word "preference" in favor of "orientation", so they can further entrench in our societal psyche the unproven speculation that homosexuality is genetic. Every time we let the Left define the terms of the debate, we lose that much more ground.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

**No wonder some girls feel uncomfortable. I would too. **

Some folks on this thread question that. :o/

[Treebeard]

Damned fine point, actually.

[Frapster]

Oh that's manly. 4 guys on one gay dude.

The irony of that depiction - I can't decide whether to laugh or blanch.

[Treebeard]

The irony is rich, even ignoring the geometric absurdity. If it's 4 "on" one, two of 'em are waiting for "parking spaces" to open up, one would think.

[Frapster]

Now I'm blanching... lol.

[William Terrell]

Oh that's manly. 4 guys on one gay dude.

Actually, to keep the proper societal dispersal, it should have been 9.7 guys on one homosexual dude. (Chances he wasn't gay, just homosexual).

[MadelineZapeezda]

Of course, girls have had to deal with lesbians in the locker room for decades -- the teachers.

Our gym teacher would check our backsides to make sure they were wet and that we showered!

[Iron Eagle]

Get ready -- Liberal court will mandate gay men and gay women must have seperate, private changing areas. (Cost to taxpayers for school modifications -- potentially billions)

.................I hope she loses.........

Don't count on it. Do you remember about 15 years ago when the female sports reporter sued the NFL for barring her from the locker rooms. She claimed that not allowing her access to the shower room handicapped her against her male counterparts and therefore was discrimination? You can see the outcome of that decision any given Sunday. This suit has some of the same elements.

The collapse of our civilization is progressing at blazing speeds.

Even if a "gay gene" should be found, it would have no bearing on whether the gene is defective. For example, the fact that MS has a genetic basis doesn't make the condition any less disordered or immutable.
