Students protest Bleckley prom decision
That Amber chick is an ugly piece of work. But not as ugly as the poor kid's parents, who kicked him out of the house. They don't deserve such a cool kid. Maybe Constance McMillen's parents can adopt him.A small group of Bleckley County High School students staged a rally at the courthouse Thursday evening to protest their high school allowing a gay student to take his boyfriend to the prom.
I can't imagine not having unconditional love for your children. There isn't anything that my children would /could do that would make me love them less. I might not agree with what they do - might not like it -- but I could never turn them out.

I'm at a loss for words..
From the article:
What Happened At Constance McMillen’s Prom"They had two proms and I was only invited to one of them," McMillen says. "The one that I went to had seven people there, and everyone went to the other one I wasn’t invited to."
Where’s Constance? Photos from a Private PromMeanwhile, there’s a rumor that school officials were directly involved in setting up the “fake” prom.
Contains Facebook comments from the attendees of the "real" prom.
These people even have a "Constance quit yer cryin" Facebook group. It has been reported that at least two of the other students sent to the fake prom were special needs. Trig Palin, this is your future!
Too bad Carrie wasn't real. If ever there was a prom that deserved to be burned to the ground....
Houston Mayor Adds Transgender Protections
Myth of the 'gay lifestyle' justifies bias
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the "gay lifestyle" -- run for your heterosexual lives.
I spent a few hours reading through the "Constance quit yer cryin" facebook page.
As much I find the actions of the parents AND students (because they had to know what was going on) deplorable , I don't approve of the nasty remarks being tossed around there by her supporters. I understand they want to support Constance and I'm ALL for it, but calling the students "inbreds" and the like is not going to help her cause at all.
I do wonder if there can be any legal action taken. Especially if the school was in on the ruse.
I do wish the ignorance, hate and intolerance towards the gay community would just stop. Seriously. This isn't 1952. They're not going to go back into the closet just to make some people feel comfortable. They're not going to be swept under a rug and treated like second-class citizens. They're going to keep fighting for the same rights and privileges as everybody else.
Don't like it? Tough.

Sonoma County CA separates elderly gay couple and sells all of their worldly possessions
Short version: Clay and Harold were a couple. They took legal steps to name each other in their wills, medical directives, and powers of attorney. Harold was hospitalized and Clay forbidden to visit him. The county then took Clay and Harold's home away, auctioned off all of their worldly possessions, and dumped them into separate nursing homes, against their wills. Harold died alone and the only thing Clay has from the past twenty years is a photo album that Harold made for him right before he died.
I hereby challenge the "Christians" of this forum to post here and defend taking EVERYTHING from these two men, simply because they are gay.
