	school refuses to show picture of lesbian in yearbook Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

It's obvious none of this hatred has anything to do with the sanctity of marriage.

Conservatives hate gay people. Plain and simple. Not all of them do, but I'm willing to bet most people do.

this is the picture they refuse to show. She did't want to wear a dress, because the dresses left her chest exposed.

Gotta tell you, that's a nice little scam the school worked up - don't publish the kids' senior pictures until each kids parents cough up $700 for a two-page ad condemning the schools actions.

The school refused to show the pic because she violated the dress code not because she is gay. Her sexuality has nothing to do with anything!

She violated the dress code because she doesn't fit in with the standard female dress code, which is likely because of her sexuality.

There's no reason at all to refuse to show the pic, IMO. Maybe if she was nude with a lesbian recruitment poster?

What if she had been a christian who refused to wear the dress because she said it was unchristian to show cleavage? I doubt we'd be accusing the school of discrimination. In fact, some would probably be making fun of her for being a prude.

To be honest, the school should publish the photo but I still think her decision is really weird. She's a cute girl, why does she want to look like a man?

I think she was trying to make some sort of stupid point by that suit, personally, I've considered my respect for homosexuality to be the disconnection between sexuality and gender....but the school's position is even more silly.

How the hell could her sexuality affect whether the dress code fits her? And if it does, how is that an excuse for violating it.

Obligatory dresses for all pupils!

But it's not true. There are more than a few Conservatives on this site. Do you think most of them hate gays? I thought you were a little smarter than that.

Does DanS hate gays? JohnT? etc, etc.

It's sexual discirmination. You can't require that men and women wear different clothing.

God I'm so glad I escaped from that end of the state.

Yeah, I guess you could argue that, but this is really sticking to the letter of the law here. It's like that "gay people aren't discriminated since they, too, can marry women" argument.

It represents a good cross section. Most conservatives who I have run into are similar to the conservatives on this site. In fact the ones that seem more to hate gays are the more 'liberal' poor blacks. Not to say that there aren't some poor whites that hate gays, but a majority? No way.

Um some government agencies have dress codes which are specific for men and women. A man wearing a dress in an agency that specifies men must wear pants wouldn't survive very long. And it wouldn't be sex discrimination.
