Another example of bigotry within the school system
Posted In:
I just read this story, and it pisses me off! If you are too lazy to read the link, I will sum it up for you:
Gay student attending highschool paid $150 for a personal photo page, he submitted one of him and his boyfriend kissing, and when the yearbooks came in the teachers had all manually blacked out the image completely with markers BUT left pictures of straight couples kissing throughout, one literally across the page from his blacked out image. Now that this has become a case of public interest, the school is back peddling and issuing apologies left and right, even though on the weekend they issued statements in support of the choice they had made. But no matter what they say, and even if they reissue the yearbooks this kid will always remember that instead of taking an opportunity to embrace human rights and equality his school chose to be narrow minded bigots that pass judgment on people based on sexual orientation.
I will just never understand why people think the things they do based on the most random things like race and orientation. Its crazy the things that bother people, because I have no idea on earth why something like two guys kissing could cause an outrage. Two men kissing are more likely to cause a problem in the US than two guys holding each other up with guns, which is pathetic and shows where the priorities are.
And that tiny pic under the main one is this “illicit” image that was too shocking for highschool yearbooks…what a F-ing joke!!!
