I think the verdict is in on Hechte and DeGeneris. We all know it is an article of faith among activists and liberals that gays are "born that way" and have no contol over their sexual orientation. Hechte apparently must be something of a freak then, since she split with DeGeneris and went back to men. Her career has not done much since she is no longer on the cutting edge. DeGeneris however is a different story. The networks and Hollywood cannot get enough of her. Her latest gig, American Idol. Clearly she's had some face work done, giving her a scary fish eye look. It's unclear waht if naything she knows about music, but they are determined we are going to have their star lesbian jammed in our faces, like it or not.
Great news! I just dialed 911 and they are sending a SWAT team to arrest the person holding a gun to your head and forcing you to watch American Idol. You will soon be free!
Easy remedy, change the channel. There's little on the tube worth watching, writer's guild will boycott any program that does not include gay/lesbian material. Hollywood is mostly a degenerate cesspool.
Don't worry, I wouldn't waste my time on it. When it comes down to a choice between what viewers want and what the PC nazis want to jam down our throats, profits take a back seat. You need only look at the network news shows, all losing tons of money and all hosted by flaming doctrinaire liberals.
that is the amazing part to me. Shareholders should be suing the Networks for the malfeasance. The Americans for Responsible Business Union. Wouldn't it be fun to strike fear in the liberal activists commies the way the ACLU strikes fear in HOAs and school boards?
Lesbian teen sues to force school to hold prom By Shelia Byrd Associated Press POSTED: 09:44 a.m. EST, Mar 12, 2010 JACKSON, MISS.: A lesbian student who wanted to take her girlfriend to her senior prom is asking a federal judge to force her Mississippi school district to reinstate the dance it canceled. The American Civil Liberties Union of Mississippi on Thursday filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Oxford on behalf of 18-year-old Constance McMillen, who said she faced some unhappy classmates after the Itawamba County School District said it wouldn't host the April 2 prom. ''Somebody said, 'Thanks for ruining my senior year,''' McMillen said of her reluctant return Thursday to Itawamba Agricultural High School in Fulton. The lawsuit seeks a court order for the school to hold the prom. It also asks that McMillen be allowed to escort her girlfriend, who is a fellow student, and wear a tuxedo, which the school said also violated policy. The district's decision Wednesday came after the ACLU demanded that officials change a policy banning same-sex prom dates because it said it violated students' rights. The ACLU said the district violated McMillen's free expression rights by not letting her wear a tux. McMillen said she never expected the district to respond the way it did. ''A lot of people said that was going to happen, but I said, they had already spent too much money on the prom'' to cancel it, she said. McMillen said she didn't want to go back to the high school in Fulton the morning after the decision, but her father told her she needed to face her classmates. ''My daddy told me that I needed to show them that I'm still proud of who I am,'' McMillen told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. ''The fact that this will help people later on, that's what's helping me to go on.'' The school board statement said it wouldn't host the event ''due to the distractions to the educational process caused by recent events'' but didn't mention McMillen. District officials didn't return calls seeking comment Thursday. At least one supporter has offered to help McMillen and her classmates hold an alternate prom. New Orleans hotel owner Sean Cummings told The Clarion-Ledger of Jackson he was so disappointed with the school board's decision he offered to transport the students in buses to the city and host a free prom at one of his properties. ''New Orleans, we're a joyful culture and a creative culture here and, if the school doesn't change its mind, we'd be delighted to offer them a prom in New Orleans,'' he told the newspaper. ''Concluding your high school experience should be a joyful one. One shouldn't conclude that experience with all their friends on a negative note.'' Same-sex prom dates and cross-dressing are new issues for many high schools around the country, said Daryl Presgraves, a spokesman for GLSEN: Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, a Washington-based advocacy group. ''A lot of schools actually react rather than do the research and find out what the rights of these students are,'' said Presgraves. McMillen says she hopes her fight will make it easier for gay students at other schools facing discrimination. ''I want other kids to know that's it not right for schools to do that,'' she said on CBS's ''The Early Show.'' In 2002, a gay student sued his school district in Toronto to allow him to attend a prom with his boyfriend. A judge later forced the district to allow the couple to attend and stopped the district from canceling the prom. U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., said a bill he's introduced in Congress would make it illegal to discriminate against gay and lesbian school students. He said at least 10 states have such laws, and his bill is modeled after those. ''This situation with the prom is a perfect example of why we need to protect students from discrimination. In this case it's a prom. It other cases, it's getting beaten up or killed,'' Polis said. The school district had said it hoped a privately sponsored prom could be held. Southside Baptist Church Pastor Bobby Crenshaw said he's seen the South portrayed as ''backwards'' on Web sites discussing the issue, ''but a lot more people here have biblically based values.'' Itawamba County is a rural area of about 23,000 people in north Mississippi near the Alabama state line. It's near Pontotoc County, Miss., where more than a decade ago school officials were sued in federal court over their practice of student-led intercom prayer and Bible classes.

The girls are pressing to force the prom. ACLU is involved because the whole thing started with discrimination based on a trivial attribute--their specialty. Of course, the "trivial" part is up for discussion.
Wait now I am confused... Are you saying the girl filed a lawsuit on her own? without an attorney? That would be impressive? if the girls do have lawyers why would bother writing such a misleading paragraph ? are you spinning for someone?
