    So, there's a gay couple in my school. Two girls named Nikki and Alex. They're both in the grade above me (Juniors).

    Anyways, today in Journalism, we were talking about a feature story for the Feburary issue of the paper. The suggestion of 'Cutest Couple' came up, for Valentines Day.

    One girl suggested that we do Nikki and Alex as the Cutest Couple. The teacher said, "You know, that's a really good idea. We should totally do that."

    The only problem is, our principal has to 'approve' the newspaper before it gets printed. He's a pretty big homophobe. So, another girl goes "What about the principal". And I said, "If he refused to let us print it because of their orientation, they could sue him for discrimination."

    So, if all works out, the 'Cutest Couple' Award could go to a lesbian couple. That's purty darn cool in my opinion.

    That would be such a big step for your school! All the homophobic people will have to take a good look at themselves when they see that everyone else is so accepting :slight_smile: If it dosnt happen, keep pushing. They are not allowed to censor you! FIGHT THE POWER!

    I remember some story Bill O'Reilly ran about a lesbian couple that got elected "Cutest" in a local high school and how he was pissed that they would dare share their orientation with other people.

    The important thing to remember about that story is that Bill O'Reilly is a loud mouthed ass.
