left there.

My brain.

That must be the most cowardly school district in the universe.

They actually tried to punish a teacher for letting a gay teenager know that she wasn't obligated to go home and be persecuted by her hate-based family.

Beyond disgusting.

that's what fox says!"



this story has several "oh please" moments! That poor young woman! I am glad she's away from them. Her own father harassing her on twitter? Disgusting!

First, the STEP-father was BULLYING her online?

Jail his ass..."child abuse".

Second, the parents were mad because the school district didn't "rat out" the kid?

Is that their "job"?

Sickos and Pervs...and all adults.

per the article. It's several pages long.

is why she 'turned' Gay, and why was her stepfather abusing her again?

indeed

then there are actually very clear regulations that the school CANNOT legally discuss anything with the parents without the student's permission.

After all, if sexuality is a choice, and is so easily influenced, then someone is damned sure going to pay for making me straight!

A "step father" who harrasses the kid on twitter, a mother who insults the kid by saying "it must have been the teacher that turned you gay" or the teacher who reaches out to the kid and lets her know what her rights are? Hmmmmmm?

let me say first off, NOBODY ELSE can make make you gay or straight. Your GENES determine that one. Second, it sounds like child abuse what this father was doing and every school staff member has the DUTY to prevent that. Third, this "girl" is 18 years old, and adult, and can leave home, and do whatever else she wants. Daddy Dearist wants complete control of his ADULT daughter. I pity what his WIFE must go through.

The teacher, and the school, is definitely not wrong on this. More MEN trying to control WOMEN, and yes this student is a GROWN WOMAN.

it's not a gay "gene" according to the latest research.

They're now thinking it has to do with the prenatal environment and the ratio/time of various sex hormones the fetus is exposed to that leads to differences in neural development.

Given that it's environmental like that (in the biological sense) that explains why it was difficult to nail it down to any one gene despite researchers working on the issue for a long time and having a large sample set to work with.

I (Only child) had a Gay Aunt out of 2 kids. My husband (2nd child) had a Gay Uncle out of 2 kids. I have a gay daughter out of 2 kids. My sister-in-law has 2 gay kids out of 4 kids.

All of us in both families had the same prenatal conditions? Edit: While it may seem at first that this "skipped" a generation, my parents only had me so no conculsions can be drawn from just one birth. My MIL also had a miscarriage, so can we assume this child wouldn't have been gay? Anyway, too many gays in both families to just be put down to "accidents". At the least, the women in both sides of the family may have INHERITED the same "prenatal conditions".

your personal anecdote, while interesting, doesn't really trump the multitudes of blind studies that also looked at such variables.

There is no gay gene. If there were we would have found it by now.

Most things are a combination of genes and environment. It's probably not a single gene, but nobody can rule out a genetic component.

if airing the "forbidden" helps to educate and create change.

Does she float, like a duck?

I mean, she's straight, but can turn random students into gays?????

Somebody bi can be tempted to the other side of the street but sone one on the polarities cant

instead of Ms. Hibbs. Marlow should have immediately gotten social services involved. Even though the student is 18, she is unlikely to have the resources necessary to just up and leave home and support herself immediately. Not to mention calling the police to investigate the harassment.
