Teen: Kissing another male cost me my cheerleading post

[joeybee12]

A 17-year-old senior says he was kicked off the cheerleading squad and suspended because he kissed another male at their high school in Alice, Texas.

The boy told KRIS-TV in Corpus Christi on Thursday that he was suspended after he was seen on surveillance camera with the fellow student in the school's band hall.

"They never check cameras for anything unless something is stolen," the student said to KRIS, asking that his identity not be revealed. "I'm sure we were the only ones, sexual orientation-wise, being caught like that."

The teen has done cheerleading for years and had just made the varsity squad for the first time.

"It was a heartbreaker when I was told I had been kicked off," he told KRIS. He said public displays of affection are common at Alice High School, and he didn't think administrators have targeted him had he been seen with a female.

1. Hmmm, maybe this is more common than just this case

Then again, I'm just speculating.

2. Straight people seem to think we should all be okay with them masturbating each other publicly, whil

while WE gay people - or at least, the GOOD gays - should be role models of chastity and self-control. :eyes:

Editing to say, SOME straight people, not all, of course. I see that kind of thing ALL the time and it turns my stomach.

4. Of course

Because straight is normal and natural, and we offend everybody's sensibilities. But it's not bigotry or anything. :eyes:
