Illinois school bans "safe zones"
Members of the Rich Township High School school board in suburban Chicago voted 5-1 Monday to remove multicolor triangles signifying safe zones for gay and lesbian students from more than 100 classroom doors, the Chicago Tribune reports. The vote came after some parents accused the district, which includes schools in Olympia Fields, Richton Park, and Park Forest, of promoting homosexuality and discriminating against nongay students by allowing the triangles. The triangles signify that teachers in designated classrooms are comfortable talking about gay and lesbian issues.
The vote was a blow to many students, according to David Claudon, a language arts teacher who is a sponsor of a gay-straight alliance. "They are very disappointed," he said. "I think one of the things to work through for a few kids is, Does this mean the support is no longer there?"
Oh heck, let's just cut to the chase and implement summary executions for thoughtcrime.
Go cry somewhere else ya dork.
It has more to do with self-loathing. And "human waste" is certainly part of it. Before their consciences become completely seared, they intuitively know that a man who has sexual congress with another man's rectum must have a serious, serious problem.

Stay safe; stay armed.

Please trust me, this is NOT a "Don't Axe, Don't Tell" scenario! Believe it or not, I think I was trying to find some sort of Hillary picture....
Because they intend to portray themselves as permanent victims, entitled to various state-enforced privileges. The use of the triangle is intended to make straight people feel guilty toward homosexuals so we will give them whatever they want.
They pull the trigger on themselves. Like Lemmings, they simply can't help it, I guess (as in each and every 'gay pride parade' that gets held)
Welcome to FR fellow ohio freeper. You will find the biggest problem people have here with gays is the pushing of an agenda. No one wants to see teens killing themselves, and there are a multitude of reasons they do. No one is suggesting they not talk to a counselor, or even discuss it with a teacher. No one is saying for the schools to teach that gays are evil.
The anger in these cases comes from kicking all semblance of god out of schools, whether jewish, christian, et al and not allowing any symbols of a person's faith/beliefs to be there - even if a community is 100% christian and it is considered the community standard. The left has pushed and preached exclusion for one main reason (but not the only one) - they say kids are impressionable and putting such symbols/information in classes could make them feel uncomfortable and could cause them problems.
The left got it's wish, perhaps now it wishes it hadn't. Symbols are not allowed. Christmas can't be mentioned. Jesus could get you fired. And now what does the left want to do? Put symbols in the class room. When we protest they say 'it won't hurt, your just being fanatic hate filled freaks.' Funny how things change.
In my elementary school days we were more inclusive of things. We had jewish kids and we learned about hannukah, we celebrated christmas stuff too. Went to school with black kids and never thought twice about it, and we discussed things relative to their heritage as well as others. Sex? That was for adults. We had a sex ed class where we covered the basics in a three hour course. We knew what made someone get pregnant.
Nowadays everyone tiptoes and checks with attorneys before they do anything in class. The left won finally, and now they have to live with it. How do they christian or jewish kids feel now? If they make drawings for the class board that has a cross it would probably cause some sort of controversy followed by a meeting. The left wants us all to check our differences at the door so as not to offend anyone, unless it is one of their pet causes. They don't want diversity, they want control and cookie cutter people all believing the same religion they follow - socialism.

Of course they don't - check any 'gay pride parade' to see how stereotypically they treat themselves; it must be another of those uncontrollable urges...
LOL!
NOT! They realize they are abberent and, like their straight peers who also commit suicide, they are slow in developing the psychological tools to protect themselves from self destruction. The additional pressure of knowing they are abberent merely pushes them harder toward giving up than normal.
News Flash for all "alternate lifestyle" (puke) types who are so self-pitying as to blame straights for their "alternate lifestyle" mental problems: You're screwed up! It's not anyone else's fault but your own! Stop blaming others for YOUR choices!
ANYone knows that under ANY circumstances, one can talk to a selected clergyman without condemnation, but that might make an alternate lifestyle type feel uncomfortable because....
Oh, well, why bother! Alternate lifestyle types aren't about to listen to anyone who disagrees with them, anyway - kinda like liberals - think maybe there's a connection?
