If I were her classmate, I would feel humiliated, denigrated and harassed by her presence in my lockerroom. Just a thought.

"It's fine if they're uncomfortable, but it's still discrimination," Massey said.

So it's ok to make an entire gym class unconfortable as long as it makes one openly, socially-deviant kid feels good. Since there really is no legal redress for these frivalous lawsuits, I wonder when people will start taking the law into their own hands when some marxist lawyer files these rediculous suits.

The solution is simple...Men...Women...Other

This would solve lockerroom, restroom and other private space problems.

Gee....a 15 year old finds out actions have consequences. Let's repeat that a 15 YEAR OLD!!!!!

What's the world coming to......I hope she loses. I'd not like it either.....she should have stayed in the "closet."

Well, sin IS uncomfortable and this pain is intended to drive the sinner back to God. Too bad she didn't get the hint.

"High School Lesbian Locker Room"

I think that runs on the Playboy Channel.

[Hermann the Cherusker]

And they wonder why these news stories of some guys getting together to kick the crap out of some homosexual man periodically occur!

So, if they don't drop the soap in the shower there would be no problem. Or does that apply to girls?

[Hemingway's Ghost]

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

If she lived in New York she would have hit the lottery thanks to......

GAY RIGHTS MEASURES PASSES IN NEW YORK, PATAKI GLEEFULLY SIGNS INTO LAW.

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

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.

[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)

[Atlas Sneezed]

I disagree with most of you. Homosexuals who behave themselves and respect others are doing no harm by seeing (and even possibly appreciating) the naked naughty parts of their own sex, by being present in places where others are normally unclothed. (Leering, verbally leching, and unwanted physical contact are entirely a different matter.)

Do you want to ban homosexuals from other activities where they can see and admire the bodies of others who are slightly more clothed? The beach? The mall?

Rosie O'Donnell has called for a C5A and will fly in, attempting to see why this girl was called on the carpet.

[TakeitBack]

I'm shocked that she was treated this way in a school in CALIFORNIA!!!

I think it's important to point out why there is a gender division in changing rooms in the first place - it has nothing to do with actual gender, it has to do with the fact that it is unseemly to even have the suggestion that a changing room is akin to a peep show. This separation presumes that modesty is still a virtue that people wish to preserve.

Having a gay or lesbian person in a locker room throws a curveball into the equation. While their gender is one way, the "peep show" element is another.

What would be most fair in this instance is to ask the other girls who have to change with her, if they are uncomfortable with this lesbian girl (though I take what a 15 year old has to say about anything with a grain of salt) seeing them change. After all, it is they who may have to deal with the possible hint of sexual attraction in the locker room that this girl's presence provides. If they're uncomfortable, out she goes, if not, leave it alone.

Regards, Ivan

I'm surprised this is going on in LA. In my neck of the woods(Modesto, Ca) lesbian chic is now a trendy thing in high schools. It's practically commonplace to see girls kissing in the halls. My mother actually had to pull my sister out of her school and put her on independent study so she wouldn't be exposed that sort of thing. That was four years ago. There is a gay club at my old high school and my sister and her friends have told me horror stories about aggressive lesbians in the athletic programs.

Lesbians in the locker room? How did we miss this thread?

Sappho alert!
