3. "instruction relating to sexual lifestyles"

Wow, I missed that when I was in school. Was anyone else given instruction relating to sexual lifestyles? Are they offering "How to be a Swinger" courses in public schools now? Cuz that's what "sexual lifestyle" means to me.

4. To our RWers, talking about "sexual lifestyle" means . . .

. . . mentioning the word "homosexual" without prefacing it with "depraved."

One thing I'm concerned about with this bill is whether it would mean the Gay/Straight Alliances that have been formed would have to disband?

6. He's going to be in the same boat as Thurmond.

50 years (hopefully sooner) from now, people are going to look back at such ridiculous talking points and legislation attempts and shake their heads in disbelief.

Hopefully, people will look upon opponents of gay rights the same way we look upon opponents of equal rights for blacks.
