Oh no, we should still be cynical about today’s youth. After all this NEVER would have happened in MY highschool (and I only graduated a few years ago) but at least this is a step in the right direction. Once even a small town redneck filled school can have something like this happen, THEN I’ll be convinced. Until then I’m just glad I’m out of there.

What an articulate, cool young man! And a cool high-school class, as well.

I think it’s incredible progress that gay queens no longer have to pretend to be women to declare a gender that’s outside the box (”I don’t want to be a girl…[I'm a queen]“). It’s not man or woman; it’s in between with aspects of both, and individuals can label that how they see fit. Wow! Very cool.

If I hear anyone getting cynical about today’s youth, I’ll point them to this article.

Our high school’s prom excluded LGBT, although not on purpose. The door lady refused to allow any same sex couples past the door. After all was said and done all of us decided that it was not worth out time. Even though we did not get refunds our voices went unheard.

I am so happy for this student and this school. Congratulations on seeing past bigotry and the fallacy of gender roles.

They wanted to see two guys dancing? Hmmmm…does that make them gay, too?

I believe Fairfax High School is where Virginia Uribe’s Project 10 was developed in the 1980s. It’s a great resource.
