GOD VIRGINIA. WHAT THE FUCKING HELL CRAWLED UP YOUR BUTT?
The Loudoun County students who staged a play over the weekend about a high school football star's homosexuality heard some gasps, along with expressions of support, during their play's two-day, modestly attended run at Ashburn's Stone Bridge High School.Now, thanks to a high-decibel dust-up over freedom of expression and values, student writer-director Sabrina Audrey Jess's one-act play, "Offsides," has a dramatically expanded audience.
Del. Richard H. Black (R-Loudoun) e-mailed his supporters claiming that, in the play, "two male students engaged in a homosexual kiss onstage" and that public schools were "being used to promote a homosexual lifestyle." His son-in-law, Loudoun County Supervisor Mick Staton Jr. (R-Sugarland Run), followed up with a missive of his own, warning of the play's disturbing "indoctrination." On Sunday, activists blanketed Loudoun churches with fliers decrying the production.
...."Within our public schools, there is a tendency to encourage homosexual activity, to portray it in a cute or favorable light," Black said in an interview yesterday. "This is a considerable health hazard right now. If we encourage just one child to experiment and contract the HIV virus, then we have done an enormous disservice to our children."
YES. public schools, where gay people are traditionally MISERABLE in the face of overt hetereosexuality and jock intolerance, are in fact promoting a homosexual lifestyle and encouraging kids to get HIV. christians are being persecuted in america, so we have to pass laws explicitly defending them. and if you see the waistband of some 16 year-old boy's underwear, the DEVIL WILL START TALKING TO YOU AND MAKE YOU UNPURE AND LUST AFTER SMALL CHILDREN OR SOMETHING OMG WTF?!?!?

their concern is touching, but don't they know that blacks represent the fastest-growing population of people infected with HIV? This never would have happened if the schools had refrained from glamorizing the black lifestyle. By, you know, letting its practitioners on stage.
Why, I do believe y'all are officially crazier than Texas.
This play turned me into a homosexual.

THAT'S WHAT SCARES ME!
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH
It's high time that theater was returned to the athletes, student government officials, and Young Lifers—the people to whom the theater belongs!
What disturbs me most about this is that it was an afterschool function, voluntarily produced and attended by students and faculty and folks are still bitching about it. These students should be encouraged to do more, not less. I hope she writes another play.
And as to outlawing loose-fitting pants, sheesh. I don't think it's constitutional. Is it?
J. Scott: it'll get overturned lickety-split.
I'm not sure which part pisses me off more - as usual I'm sure the whole is greater than the sum of its parts - but here's one: HIV is spreading most quickly amongst HETEROsexuals, and, for that matter, WOMEN. I really wish people would stop thinking of HIV as The Gay Disease.
Fair point, but you're acting like these people are actually concerned about HIV transmission, when really it's just the lame rationalization being applied after the fact.
The pants thing still has to pass the VA Senate. Hopefully they'll know better.
Hellooo!!! I googled my name (seeing as to how it's become quite popular around these parts lateley). Thanks for being on my side! :-)! The school board meeting proved to me that people here are more open-minded than I thought. (Standing ovation for my speech and the recording of the play). Thanks for the mention ;-) . And don't worry, I'm already working on more plays haha.
good for you, audrey! obviously virginia needs more students who are as open-minded and proactive as you. perhaps the state is not utterly lost.
Audrey rocks! Keep up the good work.
You people are idiots, You get mad over the ten Commandments in school but when two guys kiss its ok.
