Making teenage lesbians feel shitty is becoming a statewide pastime. Now, a high school has removed a girl from her year book.
In the first episode of Ueberfreundezeit mit Dave und Jeff, we discuss non-terrorism in the skies, bigotry in the schools, Hagar the Horrible, free speech, and the fighting skills of mythical beasts. We also try to write a rap.
A Mississippi high school tried to cancel its prom rather than let a lesbian student bring a female date. The ACLU successfully sued to make them hold the prom. So then the parents organized a private prom and invited everyone except the lesbian student. Barely anyone showed up to the official prom.
Congratulations, Itawamba County, Mississippi. You guys are huge dildos.
Debbie Gunnoe, a tea party organizer from Navarre, Fla., who was in the House gallery for Ryan’s comments called on him to apologize for “making the generalization that a few rogue people are an example of the rest of the” tea party movement and “for calling all tea party people across the United States ‘tea baggers,’ which is a denigrating word with negative connotations. It’s as bad as calling a black person the N-word.”
Politico has a story in which Tea Party supporters denounce the racist and homophobic slurs that some of the their members hurled over the weekend. But they also go a step further and demand apologies from Democrats for making a deal out of it.
I think this tidbit illustrates why they won’t get very far disassociating themselves:

Is it really?
Sadly, a little surprisingly, Prince is a homophobe.
