Agreed. There were no openly homosexual kids in my high school either. Years ago, this subject was not talked about. Nowadays, in this “Glee” generation, it’s actually cool among some to say you are gay or “bi-sexual”, but not years ago. So it’s hard to believe that Romney and the guys were expressing “homophobia” and all that.
And why is the MSM reporting something that happened almost 50 years ago anyway? What does this reveal about Romney and character issues, or what his goals as president would be? Will we hear corresponding embarrassing incidents from Obama’s youth???
In the sixties, my biggest competitor for my eventual girlfriend was effeminate. It did turn out that he was homosexual, but I found out at our 20 year high school reunion. At the time it never crossed my mind. Otherwise, I would not have seen him as competition.
Time reference: I graduated in 1972.
When I was in public schools there were weaker kids that were the victims of bullying. I suspect that many of today's potential targets for bullying may declare themselves "Gay" because they know the school will take extra pains to protect them. That and the "cool kids" who watch "Glee" might think better of slightly better of them. Protected status. Plus it all goes down easier with the campaign to confuse adolescents about their sexual roles.
You are exactly right. This type behavior 50 years ago was an extreme embarrassment very much similar to being pregnant and not married.
