So?

Having their own school will never teach them to man-up.

Let's sperate the coloreds, too.

Separate but equal is old and broken. This school is separate but fabulous!

Yawn.

I'm sure they all teased each other.

New York has a gay high school IIRC.

 
RobertBruce [TotalFark] 2008-12-16 05:15:14 PM  
Round 'em up, put them in camps special schools?

 
Lionel Mandrake [TotalFark] 2008-12-16 05:21:23 PM  
Obama is going to get a lot of flack over this pick from social conservative groups and it wouldn't surprise me if Republican Senators raise a fuss about this during his confirmation hearing.

You mean the social conservative groups that are firing staff and going belly up? Those groups?

Fewer and fewer people give a fk what those groups say...their time has passed.

Goodbye and good luck, assholes.

 
FitzShivering 2008-12-16 05:26:40 PM  
"Poltical" Really?

 
DamnYankees [TotalFark] 2008-12-16 05:26:55 PM  
Looks like Obama may lose those social conservatives who voted for him. Where's he going to pick up those 11 votes in 2012?

 
Speedofdarkness [TotalFark] 2008-12-16 05:27:32 PM  
Social conservative groups are just upset because those gay schools are kicking their ass on the teen pregnancy stats.

 
Silvara [TotalFark] 2008-12-16 05:29:21 PM  
If they have a choice of going there or not, and make the decision for themselves, who farking cares? NYC has a GLBT high school, and although there was a big outrage over it when it first opened, it's been rather successful.

Yeah, the thing about that? It didn't happen. The school was discussed, but the plan was scrapped. (pops)

What this country needs is to have everybody stop giving a fark what anybody says. You can have your views, and I can have mine. Nobody has a right to tell me what to think. If I want to be ignorant, let me be ignorant, at least to the point where it negativly effects those around me.

Freedom is a lot of responsibility. It's hard to think for one's self. The religious right and the nanny state left need to stay the fark out of my life. Personally, I think both sides are one step away from being treasonous. They both are interested in people conforming to their idea of morality or social policy. They are interested in making people (want to) abdicate responsibility to the government or the church to gain power over the 'common man.' That is contrary to the most basic tenets of this nation.

I don't advocate anarchy, but I do advocate returning most power to the individual states. Smaller government isn't just about reducing the size of the federal government, it's about redistributing the power back to the governmental agencies most capable of responding to the needs of the people. In this case, I would argue that state governments are the best way to do this.

Better than wanting to create an education system that teaches the controversy between evolution and intelligent design.

Did anyone say "Separate but Equal" yet?

Already been covered in the third and fourth post above. Maybe you have them set on ignore.

Do they need any teachers at that gay high school?

 
jakomo002 2008-12-16 06:51:55 PM  
Dear America,

The rest of us don't care where our neighbours are putting their weeners. Really, we don't. Gay, straight, whatever. We just don't care.

We have far more important things to worry care about.

All this makes you look like puritanical simpletons. Honestly. Especially when you idolize openly gay people like Ryan Seacrest and Keanu Reeves.

That is all,
The World

XOXOX

How does "separate but equal" apply to a school that you choose to attend?

/ Fun fact: straight people are welcome to attend LGBT schools

 
McCainDemocrat 2008-12-16 06:54:38 PM  
It's coming more and more obvious every day that Obama is not standing with normal people. He's appointing people with weird foreign agendas. Discrimination against homosexuals is wrong, and Obama is appointing someone who is seeking to discriminate against homosexuals by removing them from public schools. It's just plainly weird and unAmerican, like Obama is.

 
Bergyd 2008-12-16 06:56:24 PM  
Billy McGoodGuy: Is this surprising? The gay rumors have always followed Obama, and something like this goes a long way towards confirming the suspicion.

Much like the Blago controversy, it would be much easier if he would just quit putting up walls, and tell the truth.


haha CLASSIC!

Segregation solves nothing. It perpetuates the victim mentality, nothing more.

I know that Obama is using him as a role model for his administration, so it may be tough to separate one from the other, but I think you're thinking of Lincoln.

Um, yeah...your point sort of falls flat when you accuse all 300,000,000 Americans of holding the same view of gay people. So, fail, jakomo002...specifically.

/thank god not all Canadians are that dumb...

 
Jacobin 2008-12-16 06:58:56 PM  
You know who else experimented with gay people.

 
Shaggy_C 2008-12-16 06:59:08 PM  
If it's a private school, I have no problem with it. State funded? Big no-no.

Gimme one good reason why gays shouldn't marry.

Difficulty: can't use anything that can be applied to: single parents, organ transplant recipients, people who wear eye glasses, animals because they aren't consenting adults, the earth being under populated, proof god exists, the bible because it was written by man, polygamy since it involves more than two consenting adults, the penis fitting into an anus, marriage as religious ceremony because the state has control of marriage, arguments that appeals to the majority.

Seriously. The writer of this article is just mad that they didn't have a high school like this when he was a closeted high school Republican.

Lt. Cheese Weasel: Segregation solves nothing. It perpetuates the victim mentality, nothing more.

Having an environment where a teenager can be openly gay does not perpetuate victim mentality, if anything, it helps destroy it.

Although I do have a bit of an issue with 14/15 year olds stigmatizing themselves by declaring their sexuality before it's really had a chance to develop. That doesn't help the cause either as conservatives can see any change beyond that as a "lifestyle choice".

 
fenianfark 2008-12-16 07:05:33 PM  
Well, that was a pretty stupid idea. At the time, I remember there was a transgendered man on NPR saying how it was a terrible idea.

Either you want to be treated the same or you don't. No special privileges.

FTFM

Oh, and for all you people screaming 'segregation':

The proposed schools range from technology-focused high schools to the School for Social Justice Pride Campus, which officials said would cater to but not focus exclusively on gay youth.


It would be open to anyone.

Because they'll raise the bar as to the quality of weddings for us straight guys. We don't need women getting any more fancy ideas about what weddings should be than they already have.

It's not segregation when gays do it.

 
Blathering Idjut 2008-12-16 07:08:29 PM  
So they have to go to school to LEARN how to be gay. I knew it wasn't a choice.

Whatever libtard, all that proves is that you're one of those guys that actually reads articles, and that ain't a good sign neither.

THIS.

If you, like me, live around a lot of gay men, they make women expect too much. EVERYTHING they do is filled with class and style. Fukking dickheads.

The dudes across the street from me have about a 20 by 50 yard. Somehow they have it looking like a goddamned disney world attraction for Christmas. Seriously, I went down the other night and just stood in awe. My girlfreind stared out the window the day they put it up for an hour telling me how good they looked in their jeans. They make everything harder for the breeder dudes.
