I'm fairly certain he was talking about my mistake.

why doesn't a private school pop up instead? If the goddamn Catholics can do it, then why not gays and lesbians?

This is total BS.

If they want a gay-only school then it should be private. Other that that, get over it and go with the public one. Why should they have my tax dollars for their 'private' school?

(In my day, at least) Very very few 14 year olds could be called homosexual with enough confidence to warrent segregation anyway.
Many 14 year olds aren't even beginning to consider sexuality. Most are confused at best.

IMHO it is a need to belong to something. Gay culture is the latest 'in' thing....and much of that is the embracing of sterotypes. Jack McFarland, Queer Eye etc.

Jack McFarland is a charector from the US tv show Will and Grace. Flamboyant, promiscuous, feminine, uber-stylish, lispy...basically every gay sterotype imaginable
