As many know, the gay DUmmies are some of the most hard-line militants - they have a pure single-minded approach to the world where everything orbits around them and their issues, they brook not the slightest disagreement on any level...if a fellow DUmmy posts that he supports gay-marriage, but thinks that on a tactical level it would be sensible to push for civil unions first, let them bed in and then make another push; said DUmmy would be instantly condemned as a vile homophobic bigot. Naturally they hate the Messias, and have done so since before his inauguration...now they also hate most of the rest of the DUmp. Things in their mini-DUmp seem to have hotted up over a school boy who wanted to wear make-up.

Gay Teen Suspended for Wearing Makeup
A gay sophomore student in Lexington, Tenn. was suspended briefly this week for wearing makeup on school grounds 10 minutes after school ended. Kasey Landrum, 16, said, “The principal walked into the school and immediately started yelling at me and told me to get outside.â€
Initially Landrum was issued a three day in-school suspension for violating the school’s dress code which states: “When a student is attired in a manner, which is likely to cause disruption or interference with normal operation of the school, the administration will take the appropriate action. In matters of opinion, the judgment of the teachers and administrators will prevail.â€
The suspension angered his mother, Shelly Maness, who told WBBJ TV, “I’m very upset about it because he can’t be who he wants to be. I’m proud of my son, gay or straight or whatever. I want him to feel the same way.â€
Landrum says he’s suffered from depression from not being able to express himself at school. “I’m proud of myself for being as comfortable as I am, but sometimes I wish I was straight,†he said.
Personally I had to wear school blazer and school tie...would have been sent home straight away if I had worn make-up no further questions asked.

14. Okay, I have a question then. If men wearing makeup is the "norm", then
why haven't we seen a businessman at a staff meeting wearing lip stick, eye shadow, or eyeliner? Why haven't we seen a newscaster, talk show host, or weatherman wearing that type of makeup? The answer is simple. It really isn't the norm for men, despite your assertions to the contrary.
Oh dear, a mild comment bringing some sanity...cannot be allowed, the poster is hit with attacks (none of which dispute his factual statement).
Then in true drama-queen fashion extra threads appear...

When I eat hotdogs, I don't use ketchup or mustard. I use grape jelly and onions.
I guess I'm not normal.

Interesting. When I Google "Gays Are Not Normal" I get a bunch of right wing sites.
And this place.

When I was 13, I wore my mother's pancake makeup to cover my acne.
I guess I'm not normal.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=221x189332Sub Atomic also has several threads in A.T.A. - can't see the questions at the moment, but I'm betting they fail to differentiate between 'reasonable question calmly posed' and 'hate-filled bigotry'
If you want to see the extremely long moany thread pro- and anti-Skinner
