Conservatives Refuse To Accept Judge's Ruling On Gay-Straight Group
http://www.365gay.com/Newscon06/03/031606boyd.htm

A Boyd County High School student is appealing a federal judge's ruling that supported requiring anti-harassment training in his school district.

The ruling last month by U.S. District Judge David Bunning said that students could not "opt-out" of the training, which is aimed at combating harassment based on "actual or perceived sexual orientation." (story)

The training sessions were part of a settlement in 2004 of a three-year dispute between the Boyd County school district and a now-defunct gay-rights group that wanted recognition as an extracurricular group.

The student, Timothy Allen Morrison II, his parents and two other parents sued the Board of Education over that requirement, which penalized students with an unexcused absence if they did not attend the training.

5. Check out this post from a gay-bashing Freeper
In my ongoing debate with a few Freepers on the Cinescape board, I got this gem:

only people that wanna wine about wiretaps are people that have someting to hide. like liberals.hey brimrown the movies i listed are only some. now plenty of more gay flicks are on the way thanks to gay hollywood and brokeback mountain. and lister if you had a clue about the election of hillary clinton you would know that all hillary had to was run for senate in ny and get the votes of the proir liberal democrat that held the seat for over 20 years.the only person that had a shot at beating was the mayor and got cancer.and why should i tolerate something as digusting a gay sex. the only thing theses irratating gay flicks have done for me is reconize how much people are to weak minded or afraid to stand up to the liberal media and remeber that homosexuality is a sin and always will be. just like murder,stealing. only idiot liberal and gays think its ok.brimtown and lister may wanna bend over for them i'm not.

6. This is why the seperation of Church and state is important...

They claim they don't want liberal views forced on them but they have no problem with forcing their religious views on the entire country.....

This writer compares gays to murderers and stealing....

Here's the key, the writer doens't have to watch the gay movies if he/she doesn't want to. That's the great thing about America!!!

I bet you this person has some skeletons in the closet....those that scream like this always do!!!

7. Yep, I've been taking him to task all day long
He claims that there is a "glut" of "gay flicks", and that there are lots more on the way. Now unless he has a subscription to "Gay Entertainment", how would he know this? Besides, there are probably more "straight" movies coming out within the next couple of weeks than there will be "gay flicks" coming out within the next year.

I also pointed out that lust, adultery, and fornication are sins according to the Bible - yet he doesn't seem to mind Hollywood "shoving" these kinds of films down his throat.

4. And what's wrong will teaching that's it's not nice to be mean to people
JUST because they're different? What's wrong with telling them that believing that homosexuals are sinners is not grounds for hurting them?

8. How typical...
They make all the rules, and everyone else is expected to abide by them because they're conservatives. What BULLSHIT!

These religious extremists need to be put in their place. They preach hatred, violence, death, destruction, lack of respect, and intolerance, even though all of those things are prohibited by The Bible. Maybe they have a different Bible that they live by, I don't know. All I know is they are not following the word of God, and they somehow believe they've been saved in spite of all they do.

The religious leaders need to speak out against this behavior, because it's very anti-Christian and muddies up the message from those who try to preach the truth.
