Whenever she's done saving them to her hard drive.
Did the school district really think they could cancel the prom and nobody would notice?
Excellent work, Dan and everyone else who wrote letters and called.
Attention brings out the harsh truth, like the strong bias the school board (and you) have against this student. Drawing attention to things works.
Like drawing attention to the fact that you're a man and a pathological liar. And probably closeted, to boot.
Of course, you probably masturbate to the thought of gay kids killing themselves. You're a horrible person.
Gay/Bi males at the time were 7x more likely to attempt suicide.
Nah, this is just a bunch of catty gays sad we couldn't go to our proms* :(
*Well, I went to mine, won most popular out of 470 students, got a free funsaver camera, but the point stands! We're all sad we couldn't go to our proms!
If you were real, Loveschild, just based on your sociopathic statements, you would likely be physically abusive, if not sexually abusive. And because like attracts like, your husband should probably warrant a listing on the sex offender database.
On top of that, the things you teach your hypothetical children are atrocious, like homophobia and this wonderful gem of racism:
Thank god you aren't really a mother.
So - we're agreed. No one should discrimiate/hurt children due to their orientation (which I think you call political beliefs). Congrats! Welcome to the side of justice and kind Christian thought and action.
No, you're a liar. A terrible liar.
If you were a real woman and a real mother, it's clear at this point that you would be a highly abusive parent and damaging to your own children. A racist, a homophobe, a liar, anti-semitic, anti-islamic and much much more.
So again I say: I'm so glad you aren't really a parent. Leave that to the real upright mothers like Kim. And great parents like Dan and Terry.
It happens all the time. We had a couple of talks at my university from students that had exactly the above happen to them, and it happens with startling frequency in this country. It's the reason lesbian-identified teens are 50% more likely to attempt suicide and gay-identified teen males are 7x more likely to attempt suicide and transgendered teens are 10x more likely to attempt suicide.
When the kids say they're hurting, the Loveschild types will immediately say "stop using the children". But they will eagerly stoop to saying how gay people harm children and how marriage should be protected for kids and how kids are confused by gay marriage.
This is why we should all be glad Loveschild is not actually "Loveschild".
You seem to think this is an isolated incident, completely separate from the cultural messages gay kids get that drive them into suicidal depression. You are wrong.
And that's why you keep bringing them up to fight your battles.
Honestly, you, dr. Bacon and those with your views just leave kids alone plz. Childhood is childhood, it about playing, enjoying live, a mother and a father, siblings, friends of the same age, learning academic subjects in school that's what it is about Yet you just seem fixated in bringing things that don't belong in those stages of life. And if parents stand up against your intentions you scheme whatever tactics you can muster up so that you can silence and punish them until they submit.
Worry about fighting your own adult fights and leave minors out them.
However, reality would show otherwise. From the R-71 section of the voters guide for the 2009 election:
Besides, while I agree that childhood should be a wonderful time of anyone's life, kids aren't bananas. You can't keep them in a bag, hoping they won't get bruised, and only pull them out when they're ripe. And, as we've seen, children are amazingly responsive to lessons in tolerance and acceptance of others. You want to teach them prejudice and yet you criticize others for "using" children?
He/she/they/it would actually prefer you didn't. That's the whole point of his/her/their/its tirades.
And LC are you saying that Sarah Palin trotting out her brood at every political rally and media event she attended during the 2008 presidential campaign was wrong? 'Cause you'd HAVE to say that if you actually wanted to be: A. Consistent with your message, and B. not a fucking hypocrite.
"Just stay away from kids. Stop using them"
Constance- The lady is 18- not a kid...
I know that kids are victimized for an insane amount of things by the establishment, adults, other kids and whatnot but back to my original point I just don't think shit like posting these photo's on this ladies facebook is very productive. You see this is not only about the superintendents facebook people from all over will see these through blogs such as the stranger and the general feeling will be yeah i thought it was lame of the school to cancel this dance but jesus this gay mob is out for blood. I mean do you think tactics like this work? I don't.
So if we're going to keep from "indoctrinating" kids into a particular "world view", that would apply equally to all "world views", even for your own kids.
The price for freedom for YOU is freedom for ME. You can't lock other people's kids away from the world any more than they can lock your kids away. So when you're willing to sacrifice your kids (no religious instruction till 18+) maybe people will be willing to listen to you insist that they sacrifice their kids (no "gay tolerance" instruction till 18+) too.
As I and others have pointed out Ms. McMillen followed the rules. She asked for approval of her date. The school administrators weren't content with just saying no. They had to cancel the entire prom in the hopes that other students would ostracize her. So, do you really find that kind of treatment unacceptable?

I have to give the school administrators some credit, though. They're teaching a valuable lesson in how prejudice can have an impact well beyond its targets.
Here's Larry Stickney saying he was going to put SB 5688 on the ballot (R-71) to protect kids: http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archive…
Here you are attacking Dan and Terry by attacking their child: http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archive…
Same thread, you hiding behind your kids: http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archive…
(PS, here's my prediction for the outcome of R-71: http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archive… -- oooooh, I predicted it would pass 54-46!)
Really, it takes 10 seconds to find Loveschild talking about kids. He really loves children. Loves 'em.
"You oppose any sort of support that we give her but you have yet to do anything yourself."
I support this :
"A New Orleans hotel owner—Sean Cummings—has offered to bus students from Fulton to New Orleans for a free-of-charge prom at his hotel."
What I don't support is the harassment to no end of a school and a town. Financial support is one thing, harassment and impositions is another. Your side always engages in the latter, and people such as yourself seem to have no problem with that.
Anti-gay groups also descended upon Anchorage, AK to attack a proposed anti-discrimination law in that city: http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archive… -- also of note is that these activists had their kids hoist these signs.
I wondered if you were a hypocrite and defended the religious right directly in their tactic of hiding behind kids, and you did: http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archive…
Here's swarms of people crowding a major intersection in Lynnwood, many bussed in from out of the area: http://joemygod.blogspot.com/2009/10/sea…
You sweet, wonderful, witty man... Your point is well made. May I suggest you head to the shower now. Many of us have the habit of wrestling with one both full of shit and covered in shit. And, in doing so we cover ourselves in their shit. You did good.
May both you and your charming beloved enjoy your weekend.
Take care.
also may I please propose that from now on we all just IGNORE loveschild completely. I think he would soon diappear if that were to happen. One can hope anyway.....
