Girl Banned From Year Book

go belgium lol but in the US there r still loads and loads of homophobics, I doubt they could sue them for a significant amount

Doesn't this fall under freedom of speech (it aint really speech but it comes close) since that principle appears to be HOLY in the US

Holy in theory.

Trouble with that freedom of speech stuff is that people can actually speak out against you. Therefore it only works if you say who good it is without using it.

there is a difference between speaking out against the girl wearing a tux and banning the picture (that's censorship)

I was being sarcastic.

I agree with you.

I am againt gays the girl should not been ban from the year book ever the less.I mean what is wrong with just a picture of her in the book?Nothering!jm

Don't understand being AGAINST homosexuality.

Not approving of it is one thing but being against it is another.

I would have been so annoyed if I was cut from my year book for wearing a dress (not that I was of course. Wearing a dress that is)

so homosecuality is defined by u as a bad influence?

so I was pathetic?

Anything can be a bad influence, when there are kids around... 😈

Parents of other family would think that their kids would mimic, and get influenced, and eventually turn gay, somehow?? 😂
or whatever...

It is just like protecting a young kid from watching porn... they are still young, and curious!!!

It was partially the girls fault for doing that anyway... why did she wear a tux?

I really don't think a girl wearing a tux (which is far less revealing then most dresses these days) could be catorgarised as porn. And is it really that different. Look how many girls wear long pants and such, most of them really, clothes that were one considered "manly"

erm.. I don't really mean porn, but porn as an example... an influence is what I meant...

Ah, I see. But really, I don't think, if she is at the stage were she knows she is a lesbian, that the rest of her year would be so easily influenced. Logically they probably are also coming to terms with their sexuality, and I have never though it would be so easy to influence people by way of dress alone.

the prefrence of what clothes you want to wear should be up to the induvidual. Would have understood the reaction if she chose to not to wear any clothes for the picture

It's not those other who are just in her year, I mean younger kids... Year book are to showed to parents.. And some parents don't like their kids to be exposed to such things... it is understandable I hope... 😕

I guess, but still, I am glad I didn't have such shallow people at my school, especially as for a time cross dressing was the hight of comedy (well, for some), and I am pretty sure most people experience something like it, my year books had similar pictures of some of the drama student girls who all played males parts as a joke, wearing suits and fake moustaches. I think its her choice, individuality should be encouraged.

what you are talking about is ignorant people who think if a girls wear pants she is a lesbian. The senior picture in the year book is that of graduate student dressing up, if she thinks she looks better in a tux than those fliffy ridicolus dresses they choose for the girls then good for her. If some parents thinks that is too harsh though on them, it just says more about the level of understanding and human development or in this case lack of it than about this girls choice to wear a tux

"Ignorant" nice word..

Schools want to keep their reputation regardless from high level or low level of understanding and human development... Neither of those really bother their policy...

Yeah those are called idiots.

Your problem is that you view homosexuality as something that is caught or passed on. It's not a virus, it's not something you catch or wake up and decide.

Parents send kids to school to become who they want to be...oh unless you choose to be gay and stuff. That's when it stops being ok to be individual.
