la petite moi

I applaud this young lady. When I was in high school (and dating a boy), I held hands and kissed (on the cheek) my best girl friend. It was in no way sexual, and yet, I was teased constantly by several people. I was always called lesbian, dyke, etc. It didn't really bother me, until one boy who was in the majority of my classes WOULD NOT stop harassing me. When I finally mustered the courage up to talk to the dean about how the boy kept calling me a lesbian and dyke during class, the dean just asked: Well, are you? (WTF?!)

Anyway, I understand how this girl is feeling discriminated against. I was never harassed or called "hetero" or "straight" when I was kissing my boyfriend (in a much more sexual manner than when I kissed my girl friend), but it's alright to harass someone if they peck someone of the same sex?

And FatFreeGoodness, are homosexuals supposed to HIDE their love for each other? No, I don't think so. If people get all upset over two girls/guys kissing, then that's their fault. About your argument of girls and boys showing their chests- at my old high school, if any boy was seen with their shirt off at school, he would immediately be asked to put it back on or go to the office to wear a nasty PE shirt. Same with girls who showed too much cleavage.
