WHAT INCONCEIVABLY SICK DOCTOR WOULD GIVE FEMALE HORMONES TO A 17 YEAR OLD BOY!?

NEW YORK, Sept. 8 — The first publicly funded school in the United States for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender teen-agers opened in New York Monday as a handful of protesters rallied across the street.

THERE WERE also demonstrations of support for the Harvey Milk High School. In front of the building, people cheered and held up banners such as “God made us Queer” on the first day of classes for the school named after a gay San Francisco politician assassinated in 1978.

The school, which for 20 years was funded privately and had just two classes, is now bankrolled jointly by the city education department and a gay rights youth advocacy group, the Hetrick-Martin Institute, a first for the United States.

When city officials announced in July that the school would open in the new academic year in September along with others for New York’s 1.1 million city-educated children, critics in the United States and overseas said creating a special school would not solve the larger problem of homophobia.

“I am offended because this school is only for a particular sexual orientation,” protester Reuben Israel said Monday. “I say it is discriminating ... these people say ’accept us for who we are’ but don’t accept anybody else.”

Some held up banners like “Sodomy It’s to Die For” and another that said, “Death Penalty for Fags.”

"The softspoken 17-year-old ....[is] not just a typical kid obsessed with hoops. Born male, Howard takes hormones to become female..."

Who on this earth permits their child to undergo such a treatment? Whatever happened to "you'll outgrow it, dear." as a response. Instead of calling child protection services, the city is aiding and abbetting this pervserion.

And as to the question at hand, No "Kimberly" you don't get to play on the girl's team, not with your Y chromosome DNA.

When words fail you, come to me, mountaineer, I always got something to say.

Would "Roughing the Passer" be a hate crime?

[SJSAMPLE]

Make the school's teams compete in the local district's competitions. That would re-define the game, "Smear the Queer".

[JOE6PAK]

Nolan welcomes the interest; he says the school will need help with funding, coaching and facilities.

I bet the NAMBLA team would LOVE to help out.

[jslade]

How do you get in Homo High....butt f**k the admittance administrator?

Oh, and on the football team. Gives new meaning to "tight end" and "wide receiver". BWAAHAAAHAAA.

[Bob]

All children, regardless of orientation,...

I must be getting old.

Orientation used to be something that you attended and not something that you posessed.

[philetus]

"Nolan says Harvey Milk officials aren't interested in pushing gay pride or any other agenda; they simply want to give their students the same opportunities available to other city school kids"

As usual, they think we're all stupid.

[putupon]

"What a great lesson it would be for a Harvey Milk kid to turn around and hit a three-point shot at the buzzer," says Cyd Zeigler of Outsports.com, a gay-oriented sports website.

I can see the headline on the NYTimes sportspage now:

Anyone taking hormone treatments should automatically be barred from sporting events.

Parsing the issue down to its specific elements, in an effort to ensure "fairness" in each specific situation, is impossible from a practical standpoint.

Hormones can be used as performance enhancers or gender trait enhancers.

An unquestioning acceptance of hormone treatments leads to the same results seen when the East German Women's Swim Team went to the Olympics.

I'd like to suggest the "Loving Poofs" as the new mascot!

Another ping for "what goes on in public schools". Guard your children!

Poor things. Forced into prostitution because their school has no sports program.

Wait a minute. Prostitution IS their sports program.

[BBell]

If I said I was transgender would they let me shower with the girls?

[Bronco_Buster_FweetHyagh]

Can you imagine being the men's wrestling squad that has to go up against them? Ugh.

Howard takes hormones to become female,

Which is, of course, not possible.

Gay advocates cheer Harvey Milk's decision and say the school's sports teams will help do for homosexual high school kids what Jackie Robinson did for African-Americans 50 years ago - break down barriers.

The fundamental distinction being that Jackie Robinson was breaking down barriers where they should have been broken down. The Gay Advocates want to make the self-absorbed, sex-obsessed, un-natural appear natural. Not at all the same thing.
