That's so gay...

Ok. Those of you who know me may already be expecting something like this to be put up here. And those of you who don't know me are going to get a toned down version of a little thing I call 'gay'. Here at Penn State, we have a newspaper that claims to be the utmost "professional" outpost for the students....... They. Can. Not. Be. Serious. Fuck, just come out and say it! "We here at the daily collegian have a terrible bias towards the left." Fucking say it. If I could twist the proverbial arm, I would be doing that right about now. YESSSS. Read it bitches:

"Early childhood education should cover homosexuality

I have heard students from elementary school through college use the expression "That's so gay" as a response to just about anything. For many children and adolescents, this derogatory use of the word is the first understanding they have of a gay person.

For this reason, children in elementary school should learn about homosexuality as early as first grade when they begin to talk about family, and then again in fifth grade when they study the reproductive system. This might help children to grow up with a more accepting attitude toward gays if they are educated on homosexuality the way they are educated on other aspects of life, nature and the human body. For example, the following few simple statements could clear up a lot of confusion and misinformation: Homosexuality is not a choice; it's biologically determined. Homosexuality is not a disease. You can be friends with someone of the same sex who is gay and not be afraid that they will be attracted to you. There is nothing wrong with being gay, and there is no reason to be ashamed if you are gay.

If acceptance is taught in the curriculum, gay adolescents may have an easier time in elementary, middle and high school, and by the time they are in college, they will not hear students say, "That's so gay."

YESSSSSSSS. Oh fuck, this is so full of garbage I may have to take two f/n trips. Alright, first of all. Gay means happy. Just so you all know. If anyone fucked up the word usage, its the people who coined the USAGE of "gay" to mean heterosexually challenged. Another term for a gay person is queer. Right? When people use the phrase, "That's so gay" is it not always in context with something thats rather, QUEER? Hmm. Thats odd now isn't it. Someone, I think, has their belt strapped on too tight. "That's so gay" is a perfectly liable phrase through the bastardization of our language (thanks in part to the Rap Community). So, I guess all I'm trying to say about that part of Lori's expose is, frankly, that it's pretty gay. Now. On to the real substance of her message, the REAL reason she wrote in. This is going to be FUN:

"elementary school should learn about homosexuality as early as first grade when they begin to talk about family". So, what would you teach our children about, Lori? Would you teach them that broken homes usually provide society with mal-adjusted teens and eventually adults? Would you teach them that a child needs both Mother (woman) and Father (man) to grow up with a healthy aspect on life and adjustment. No kid who grows up in a homosexual family is going to be normal. It is as plain as that. Gay "couples" should not be allowed to raise children. End of story. Thats all she wrote. If they want kids, they can be straight.

"and then again in fifth grade when they study the reproductive system.". Holy hell did she set herself up for this one. The glorious reproductive system. We all love it don't we. Apparently gays don't. Let's just get down to it shall we? The male's penis is meant for, and only for, one place in the female, which is the glorious vagina. And why might you ask? Soley to reproduce. I mean if we look at this straight-forward topic as a liberal would have it, we're all just animals anyways. Animals don't have sex other than to reproduce so my original hypothesis is correct. Penis=>Vagina. Look at the diagram and tell me what you see. A single male and a single female. There's a fucking reason for that folks. Its called biology. Man was meant, scientifically (which, in our liberal mindset, is the only thing that matters and is the utmost authority), for one other being, the Woman. And there you have it. Study it well. Ok, now to address the quote at hand. Lori, dear, what would you have us teach our impressionable children about homosexual reproductive systems? Should we be telling them that it is unnatural and ill-conceived? Should we tell them it is ok because it's sole purpose is PLEASURE. What then would become ok? Child pornography, beastiality (try explaining beastiality to a kid without naming names or pictures....sounds a bit like homosexuality, doesn't it????), polygamy? How could you refute their young inquiring minds? There is nothing wrong with any of those aforementioned practices due to the acceptibility of pleasure being the only reason why it is. The fact of the matter is that homosexuality does not fit with science! Then, I ask of you, where does it fit?

"Homosexuality is not a choice; it's biologically determined.". Fuck. I'm just gonna say it. This girl is lacking a brain. Only a dumbass would be so bold as to make that statement. What biological determinant impacts sexuality, Lori? The mysterious gay-ene? No. There is no such thing. There is no proof of that. Sticking with strictly science here folks, what, if there was a gene for homosexuality, would be its purpose? We all know, or at least those of us that are hetero, how to reproduce. If it is nature's intent to "sometimes" throw the gay-ene in there what should that tell you about how mother nature feels about that person. If they are incapable of feeling a desire for a woman (or man, depending on your gay sex) how then, are they capable of reproducing, like the rest of normal society? Is it truly mother nature's intent to weed out these individuals? If not, what would be her purpose to bastardize the gay-ene for the purpose of determining sexuality? We have opposable thumbs so we can manipulate objects, inner ear fluid to balance us, hair to keep us warm, perfectly tuned lenses in our eyes to precisely focus light, a system that regulates our body temperature (and one that even regulates the temperatur of our sperm), lungs that will heal themselves after quitting smoking, and a liver that regenerates itself. What is the gay-ene for then? Mental retardation is a biological problem that renders the individual incapable of doing many things. On levels, autism allows people to play music that no one thought was possible, or gives them the ability to read books and remember them line to line but impedes them from carrying on a normal conversation. These are all mother nature's tiny little screw-ups. There is no reason for them. What then, is the reason for the gay-ene and homosexuality if it was mother nature's intent, and if you can not find a reason, are you willing to agree that it is one of mother nature's screw-ups, one that is treatable? I think not. That would mean you would have to take on the opinion that there is something "wrong" with gay people. You would never do that. I suggest you think of the implications of your words before you decide to grace us with them.

I truly hope that she either drops out of school or changes her major because I can not honestly believe that someone of her caliber should be teaching our children. Seriously....WTF
