Grossing out the home folk

There always seems to be something stirring in the springtime.

High schoolers are prom and graduation bound, and all too predictably, virtually every year there is an lgbt story associated with one or both of these annual rituals.

Usually we have stories of taking a same sex date to the prom, or a student having the audacity to cast off the gender society has assigned to them. This time around, the catalyst is in the photos - yearbook photos.

It seems students in Clovis NM decided to take pics of various couples for inclusion in their yearbook. Some parents in the community, out to demonstrate that parents can indeed be more immature than students, called the photographs of same sex couples 'disgusting.'

You can see a couple of the pictures by following links within that article.

I'm tired of ignorant ass holes making a big deal about something so damn innocent - and actually life affirming. Thank goodness younger folk grasp what these folk seem incapable of - that love between consenting adults is a desirable, not undesirable thing. It is hate we need to cast away.

I'm not sure what I'd say to that parent. I'd hope if such a moment came that anger would not manifest, that reason would trump shouting down. Time is on our side. It may not move as fast as we like, but the future looks promising.
