But yeah, it's essentially the school being bigots, without wanting to seem like bigots, so they come up with various reasons why the two can't go together, but of course the reasons don't apply to other people. I highly doubt that there wasn't a single other fifteen year old there, and if there was, then they should be kicked out, too, according to the school's logic. | ||

The other day I banned a girl from attending my school's dance because she brought a nigger along and got heat for it. In this and age you can't voice your opinions on how blacks are scum. You dont like this forum, do you? | ||

Racism towards Whites = good and "progressive" Racism towards any other race or even just having traditional views = evil and "bigotry" Pretty soon somebody will start talking about the Nazis and how this sort of evil bigotry could lead to another Holocaust. When I have the power to prevent inbred hicks from Mississipi from attending a dance that's supposedly open to all members of a student body, then it's the same thing. | ||

If it was a black male and they gave those same excuses, the issue would be more prominent. But in this case the difference between a lesbian girl and black male are not too different. I hope something is done about this. | ||

As my last post (probably for the entire forum but at the very least in this thread) I will leave the definition of bigotry to see if some of you can just maybe see the hypocrisy. Bigotry: stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bigotry | ||

Perhaps you are reading posts that I have not, but I haven't seen any such "racism towards whites" in this thread. Quite frankly, I haven't seen any mention of race. As towards your point, I highly doubt that those who believe racism/homophobia is evil would then state that reverse-racism is progressive. In fact I would say that is highly unlikely (I don't want to speak in absolute terms and say impossible). Quite frankly, anyone who dislikes intolerance probably will disprove of it regardless of whose expressing what opinion, whether it be from the majority or minority. If you feel strongly that intolerance is a "morally-right" opinion (for lack of a better word), then express it as such. Use reasoned arguments to support it. Don't use vague terms like "traditional views," what the hell does that mean? Be specific. Don't hide behind fear or "intolerance of my intolerance" lol. State your opinion, and defend it, or then don't post. | ||

Bigotry: stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bigotry I'm sorry, but, in your world everyone would be a bigot! Here's the difference between what you think and what rational people think. If I had a school I wouldn't ban people from prom for their sexual orientation. In your school you would ban people who are homosexuals. I have a few definitions for you. Ignorance. Critical thinking. Empathy. | ||

While I may agree that 15 is fairly young to "be in love," I doubt you can say its IMPOSSIBLE. There are stories of individuals marrying their childhood friends/lovers. As to they are too young to know they are gay....thats just blatantly false. Homosexuality is not a lifestyle decision to be made when one is ready to make it. Rather it is an underlaying "characteristic" that may be realized at a later time. So they likely already "know that they are gay." | ||

That said she should be able to take a girl to the dance. Forcing girls from an all girls school to dance with boys sounds like it would lead to a lot of hook ups and pregnancy. Why dont they organize group social events to get the girls and visiting boys to talk? These girls are likely sexually repressed and teenage boys would be all over that. | ||
