A little something from my old home state

In addition to New York's governor instructing state agencies to recognize same-sex marriages (and I believe civil unions?) struck in other states, New Yorkers now have their senior senator changing horses midstream and supporting gay marriage .

And, something else from the Empire State. The interesting note, to me, is that six students have come out to the teacher this year, presumably since news of his upcoming commitment ceremony to a man became public.

  1. Seventh graders are coming out now? That's crazy.

  2. I know. What I can't help but wonder is if they came out to their teacher before they came out to their parents/families.

    Also, how big is this school if SIX students in one year have come out to this teacher? Is that a lot?

  3. There's a video on YouTube with a 17 year old student arguing in Vermont in favor of gay marriage. He's not even old enough to legally get married. And gay activists are trying to tell us that they aren't trying to change anything in the schools? There's no honesty in "gay civil rights."

  4. As if people too young to vote haven't been weighing in on political/social issues before this.
