Lesbians Do Not Have Special Rights Says Judge
Didn't Want Mom to Know

I guess mom knows now that her daughter is a lesbian and it didn't go over very well. So the school got sued.
Two girls were caught kissing in California's Santiago High School, and like all kissing infractions parents were notified. The administration was just following the rules like they always do, but this time they were sued. Why? Because one girl was now "outed" to her mother.
The American Civil Liberties Union and the Gay Straight Alliance Network brought the federal suit, claiming the girls were disciplined because they were gay.
The judge disagreed saying this was not motivated by sexual orientation, but the school was just enforcing their policy.
"Schools have a right to set rules for public displays of affection, and they have a right to enforce these rules with appropriate discipline," said Kevin Snider of the Pacific Justice Institute. "If the student had won in this case, that would have undermined the Bill of Rights. It's not surprising in many ways that the ACLU once again shows its confusion over due process rights."
Is this just another tactic by the gay activists to look like helpless victims? Did they really think they had a special case here even though school policy is clearly written that kissing in the school by students is against the rules and parents would be notified? Did they really think they are a specially protected class that doesn't have to abide by the same rules that heteros have to abide by?
Well I guess our school doesn't have this policy. Last year two girls were sitting on the front steps of our local HS, kissing away. But then our school prides itself on being social progressives. Problem? What problem? Girls will be girls?
I've got to remind myself I live in a blue state. What else can I expect? At least I know I'm moving to a "warmer" state soon both physically, socially and politically.
Florida here I come.
