Tiresome Little Morons.

Original Article Here

Now I say mean things to a high school kid.

“It ranks at the top of highly debated issues including abortion and interracial relationships.”

Do people still debate interracial relationships? Like, as much as abortion? I dunno. I don’t live in 1960’s Mississippi, I didn’t think anyone else did either.

“many homosexual students have to suffer insults and jibes by ignorant teens.”
Remember this.

“When students walk through the halls of their schools, it is a common sight to see a boy and a girl being intimate.”

I know what s/he means, but this is such a bad sentence. Makes me think that in their high school you walk to bio and someone’s getting pounded doggy-style beside their locker.

“Maybe there just are not that many homosexual couples that are open about it. No, that isn’t it.”

Did this article get edited? Because answering your own question is a useful rhetorical device, but it’s predicated on there *actually being a question*.

“Some youth that we have grown up with have never truly accepted or welcomed the gay population.”

Also remember this.

“ Groups like the Gay-Straight Alliance here at East High try to make the relations between the hetero- and homosexual groups more conjoined as a student body.”
Kinky.

“It is an honorable attempt, though how effective it really is, is yet to be seen.”
If people at your school still get squicked out by the gayz, I think how effective it is is really plain to see. Also, that second comma is ridiculous. I know it looks weird when two identical words stand up right beside each other, like those creepy girls from The Shining. Embrace it. Don’t just stick a comma in there and ask it to deal with your problem.

“These relationships just are not normal.”

1. No. 2. You make English cry when you write sentences like that. Read that out loud. Doesn’t that sound weird? You can fix it! You have every letter of the alphabet and every punctuation mark right at your fingertips.

“One thing to notice is that there is legislation against homosexual marriage. However, there are no legislative restrictions to same sex dating.”

There used to be. They were called sodomy laws, and they were struck down for being, wait for it wait for it, unconstitutional.

“Dating does often lead to marriage, so same sex dating should be frowned upon.”

Your logic (such as it is) is flawed. Drinking often leads to vehicular manslaughter. Drinking isn’t frowned upon. Voting Republican often leads to being a fascist little shit. Voting Republican isn’t frowned upon.

Also, the number of people who date without getting married is only going up. Double also, the number of gay couples who don’t get married is *much higher* than the number who do. Why? Because, as you say in this exact same paragraph, there is legislation forbidding gay marriage.

DUN DUN DUNNNN!

“Some teens see it as abnormal, as well as the intimacy that comes with it. Some people believe that since the Bible verse Leviticus 18:22 said “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination,” they do not think it is proper for same sex relations.”

Quoth the Bible: “And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.”

Ever have a hamburger, stupid high school newspaper writer?

“Also, less commonly cited, is the death penalty called for in another Bible verse, Leviticus 20:13, “If a man also lie with man, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.” These are the most common arguments against homosexual marriage and/or dating.”

1. Is it less common, or is it common? You may pick one. You cannot have it both ways, and also the faculty advisor for this ship of fools you call a paper needs to be fired. 2. Just watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPUNooNrwLw

“It is a social disruption in many cases, and should be kept out of school to ensure our educational mission with as little of a distraction as possible.”

So, when you said “Some ignorant teens” you forgot to include “of which I am one.” People on the right always try to catch *good* people in the tolerance trap, “If you’re so tolerant why won't you tolerate my intolerance? Nyah nyah!” Shit like “Well, you just call everyone who opposes gay marriage a bigot!”

Yep. If you oppose equal rights (or equal dating, as the stupid case may be) for all couples, then you’re a bigot. Sorry, Intrepid Idiot High School Reporter, you’re an ignorant teen bigot who doesn’t know how to sentence.
