Dysfunctional Heterosexual

I just think my children and your children would be much better off and much more successful getting married and raising a family, and I don’t want them brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid and successful option — it isn’t. I didn’t march in the gay parade this year — the gay pride parade this year. My opponent did, and that’s not the example we should be showing our children.

"It's like she's nobody"

Mississippi_burning

When Veronica Rodriguez opened Wesson Attendance Center's Yearbook, she did not find a trace of her lesbian daughter Ceara Sturgis after a long battle with school officials to include a photo of her daughter wearing a tuxedo in the school's 2010 yearbook. "It's like she's nobody there, even though she's gone to school there for 12 years," Rodriguez said.

"We are informed by legal counsel that decisions of federal courts completely support the district in this regard. It is the desire of the Copiah County School District to inform that its position is not arbitrary, capricious or unlawful, but is based upon sound educational policy and legal precedent," Copiah County Superintendent Ricky Clopton said in a statement.

A northern Mississippi school district decided not to host a high school prom after a lesbian student demanded she be able to attend with her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo. The Itawamba County School District's policy requires that senior prom dates be of the opposite sex.

"It is our hope that private citizens will organize an event for the juniors and seniors," school district officials said in a statement. "It is in the best interest of the Itawamba County School District, after taking into consideration the education, safety, and well being of our students."

Complete Strangers Married in Florida

Opponents of same-sex marriage think gays and lesbians want to upend the "sanctity" of the institution. A straight couple, Brian Feldman and Hannah Miller, who were complete strangers to each other, were married last Friday in Orlando, Florida. Feldman put out a call to any ladies who wanted to take part in the project on Facebook, "Brian Feldman Marries Anybody."

Three women showed up, and Feldman spun a water bottle to decide with whom to enter into holy matrimony. A lesbian couple attempted to get a marriage license at the same court an hour before but was denied. When Miller was congratulated on her nuptials, she replied, "I think you should be shaming me. This is a disgusting thing I have to do. It's terrible -- no offense to Brian."
