My own take...
By woodsie79

Clip to ScrapBook   
Being in the private schools and only teaching third grade this is not an issue I've had to deal with. If it were to come up, I suppose I would have to take the stance of many of you on the opposition.

I'm not homophobic,
I have gay friends and a gay family member, that does not however mean that I condone or disapprove of the behavior.

I do remember an instance when my sister was in high school and received Saturday School for telling a kid 'Don't be gay!'. She meant it in the 'Don't be lame' sense, but the administration said she was questioning his sexuality. As much as my mother
didn't agree with the punishment, she backed the administration and shipped my sister off to Saturday school. What happened to the days of parent's siding with the teachers and administrators???

Boy, I've gotten off the track. Someone else's turn.
