Ok, for those of you who may not have gathered it yet, I am very opinionated. From time to time there are things that will happen where I can not keep my mouth shut, This is such an occasion. All my rants are off the cuff, and unedited so there may be a few typos but oh well. Let's get started.
This recent wave of southern high school ridiculousness is fucking ridiculous. First Constance McMillen is denied access to her prom, because she wants to bring a female date, now there is another kid, Derrick Martin. The good news is that he is allowed to go to his prom; the bad news is that his parents kicked him out of their house because of “all of the media attention.” Now I am hearing that Amber Duskin, some little Ann Coulter wannabe and a student at Daniels high school, has organized a protest against Daniel.
Amber Duskin claims that she did this because of the media attention as well. In her interview she said, “I don’t believe in going up there and dancing with gay guys like that,” she said. “It’s also not just him bringing a boy. It was bringing all this attention to it.”
Excuse me for pointing this out but, you know what else causes media attention? Giving interviews to the goddamn media! If you want to put out a fire don’t throw your homophobic gasoline on it, unless you are covered in it as well.
Man, I'm just going to say it FUCK HER! I feel so bad for Derrick. I didn't even get to go to any high school dance because I didn't want shit like this to happen. Love and let love people. All these homophobes hiding behind their “attention” shyness get to me like the racists hiding behind their tea and health care.
I hope this all works out in a way that Amber Duskin looks a damn fool. I hope his parents loose the love of their son, because they don't deserve it. My heart goes out to Derrick, Constance and every other kid suffering in silence. This craziness must stop right now.
