i honestly was just going to say that. that is above and beyond my biggest pet peeve. just this week in my american history class it happened. my teacher likes to hold debates sometimes, and we really like it. i mean, i guess it makes us feel important cuz now we're juniors and we know what the heck theyre talking about XD. anyway, she gave us a list of stuff like gangs, the legalization of marajuana, abortion, the legal drinking age, wellfare, and of course homesexuality. and i just said, this is a class of juniors and as soon as she said that nearly everyone went "ewwwwwwww!" i nearly stood up and said something but i just shut up.
some of the kids said "the government cant tell you who you can love" and "they can take away a lot of things, but they can't take away the happiness youd feel with someone. this is supposed to be america." blahblahblah. but then my teacher said this:
"well...this is just my opinion. in 1st semester i saw two girls kissing in the hallway outside my door. i told them that it was disgusting and they had better get out my hallway." and no one said a word. we all sort of...stared at her in shock until someone said "cant you get in trouble for that?" and she said "oh i can lose my job for it. its discrimination against a student, but i dont care, i find it disgusting. if a boy and a girl walked into my class holding hands, id think it was cute, but if two boys walked into my classroom holding hands i would probably send them down to the office."
i cant tell you how angry i was leaving that classroom. i hate this teacher now for that. honestly, i cannot stand the discrimnation against gays and lesbians just because they love someone. its ridiculously childish.
XD now im all fired up and defensive now. sorry to ramble guys!
