Carrie PrejeanFrom the National Organization for Mammary Enhancement…

“The National Organization for Mammary Enhancement supports boob enhancement for God-fearing American Patriots. We support Carrie Prejean, “Miss California,” for deciding to augment her knockers. She is a faithful Christian, as evidenced by her reply to Judge #8’s question at the Miss USA pageant.”

Bravo to Shanna Moakler for taking  Gallagher to task. And what’s up with Stephen Baldwin and his claims of persecution. Is being flushed a symptom of persecution? Or is it a symptom for something else? I feel so… so sorry for his brother Alec.


Kentucky high school Principal refuses gay students access to restroom during class

activism, education, lgbt 5 Comments »

Franklin County High SchoolOutside of Franklin County High School in Kentucky, students protested an email sent to their teachers instructing them not to allow homosexuals to use the restroom during class.

The email sent by Asst. Principal Karen Buzard was in response to an incident where two female students were caught kissing in the school restroom.

From Kentucky Equality Federation (KEF):

“I have been in contact with one of the parents of the children involved in the protest, and we support and encourage their constitutional right to assemble peacefully,” stated Kentucky Equality Federation President Jordan Palmer. “We call on the media to investigate this issue further and shed light on the discrimination gays and lesbians face throughout the Commonwealth. Kentucky Equality Federation will also be contacting the other parents of the children involved in today’s protest.”

Laura Reed, Managing Director of KEF is concerned because they have also received complaints from other counties.

“I’d like to know what level this mentality, that gay and lesbian students should not be treated equally is coming from. An incident in one county could be called an isolated incident, but we now have similar reports in three other Kentucky Counties. I’d certainly like to know what Education Secretary Helen W. Mountjoy has to say about these incidents.”

How odd. According to the school’s website, April is the month for tolerance. Doesn’t sound like a very tolerant school if you ask me.
