SICK and QUEER ‘Romeo and Julian’ school play sparks political correctness debate.
I have never hinted that homosexuals were necessarily all bad people. I just believe that their lifestyle falls outside the norm.
But I do object to all the forced pc programs that seem to be part and parcel of their culture. I guess its’ a culture. ? Or is that the wrong word?
Look for more of the same in future though. In fact, count on it.

Two things peiper:
1: Thank you for doing what I do: I always ‘strike’ gay and substitute the correct term.
I’ve known a lot of homosexuals over the years, mostly during my three years as a full-time dance instructor for the local Arthur Murray franchise. They have invariably been depressed, angry, self-absorbed, etc. There’s nothing ‘gay’ about being queer, in other words.
Kudos to my (then future) wife: at one after-work party, my ‘co-worker’, who was a blantant homosexual, was actually putting moves on me. I’d made a mistake, it seems. He’d gotten drunk and started telling everyone who would listen his sob-story of family disowning him, etc. I was drunk enough to listen. Meanwhile he started caressing my knee and saying how much he loved a strong man…
My date (now my wife) was apparently paying attention. While I was trying to come up with a ‘polite’ way of brushing him off (remember, I still had to work with him on Monday!), my future wife walked up behind me, wrapped her arms around me, and said “I love a strong man too.”
This was most effective!
2: I did strike up some actual friendships with a few of them, based on other interests, chess, fencing, etc. But I’ve been unable to continue the friendships due to the fact that their choice of lifestyle killed them. I can only think of one who is has not died of AIDS since the mid-80’s. But his ‘significant other’, who coached me as a dance instructor, did die of AIDS.
So, I was ‘tolerant’. Do not ever mistake ‘tolerance’ with acceptance and approval. In fact, I’m far less ‘tolerant’ now. I’ve seen that what you ‘tolerate’ you get more of…
