A tattoo or a nose ring?

So how about it being against school policy for *any* teacher to wear a wedding ring or have pictures on their desk? Link

The Republican "big tent"

New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino criticized gays Sunday, saying he didn't want children "to be brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid or successful option," compared to heterosexuality.

"It isn't," Paladino said at a stop in Brooklyn, New York.

A prepared version of his remarks obtained by CNN from New York affiliate NY1 said that "There is nothing to be proud of in being a dysfunctional homosexual," though Paladino did not wind up delivering that line.

Full story here.

Eat shit and die, Paladino. Few people deserve this said about them, but the world would be a better place without you. Feel free to leave it at any time.

The wave continues

Another day, another suicide of a gay youth. This time in Norman, OK.
This kid had to have been struggling with things for a city council meeting to be the final straw. But one of these days the conservatives out there will have to realize what its like for kids to see and hear constant, combined attacks from politicians, preachers, teachers, friends, and neighbors.
