Group Demands Censored Gay Kiss Photo Be Redistributed In Yearbook — Page 3

The only thing offensive about that picture, is that one of the boys has the collar on his polo shirt "popped".

"Well, high school yearbooks are given to freshmen, sophomores and juniors. So the ages start at like, 13 years."

In my school and I'm sure many others, everyone can buy the yearbooks; however, the seniors are really the only ones who buy them, as a lot of underclassmen aren't aware they could buy one!

The school should have set up guidelines for these pages in the first place. If they are going to offer pages in the yearbook to the students, there should have been rules in place all along. They should have applied equally to everyone involved.

What happened here was specific picking and choosing.

an apology AND admitting it was homophobia!
the latest.

EDIT:

After reading this thoroughly I retract my first message. I didn't read the article.

Personally, I feel that all of the pictures showing kissing should have been censored simply because I don't think that is appropriate in a school environment. But I am just old fashioned.

Kissing or any display of affection wasn't allowed in my high school AT ALL regardless of who was doing the kissing, etc. We were immediately disciplined for such behavior so we waited until after school and respected our elders and what they said.

I feel that school is an institution of learning and that kissing and sexual behavior shouldn't take place in school. There is a time and place for everything and school is not the place for it.

But, still, what that lady did was W-R-O-N-G. If the pages of her school's year book are filled with hetero kissing then, this young man's pic should have been allowed. She set a precedent for her institution and if others were doing it then he should have been allowed as well.
