While I believe that being gay is a sin against God and man, I also am grounded enough in reality to know that this kind of thing goes on in the world we live in and that I have to accept that there are some people who don't know how to live right. If being gay is your thing and you are proud of it, that is fine but please keep it to yourself and stop trying to boast proudly of it in public places. We don't need more people like you.

Hi DCMSS, welcome to the forum.

Just one question?

Do you pronounce your name di**miss?

Just wondering if there is a penile envy thing going on?

I heard that's common in both homo and hetero sexuals.




BTW: I'm just really trying to joke here: please don't think I'm serious.

True, I'm not like steve-the-super-dad who can see a kid walking down the street and with his immense powers of observation immediately determine the kid is in a gang, want's to be in a gang, or is looking for trouble.

I did not determine anything of the sort. On the contrary, it is a warning to him, others and parents, that gangs wear that outfit, and one could get into a lot of trouble for dressing like a gang member.

I give the same advice that I gave to my nephews, their friends, and other youngsters I've known who at about 14 suddenly fell in love with the color red.

I was actually with my wife's cousin and his friends one day, but had fallen behind while window shopping, and witnessed a group approach them, one with his hand inside his shirt, as if holding a gun, demanding to see their belts. You see, they were from out of the area, and these gang bangers, all wearing red, wanted to see if there was any blue going on.

I work with and mentor kids. I know what I'm talking about.

Don't take my word for it, however, ask one of Folsom's finest. They will confirm that, and advise that it is probably not the smartest choice for an outfit. One cop told me that when he sees a kid wearing all red, he will pull over and ask them the 21 questions, which include, 'why the hell are you wearing that outfit?', 'don't you know what red means?', 'don't you know kids have been killed for wearing it?'

From kcra.com last year

ELK GROVE, Calif. -- No one has been charged yet in the death of a 15-year-old boy near a busy Elk Grove intersection this weekend.

Investigators suspect that the killing was somehow gang-related, although friends and family said that Robert Maisonet had nothing to do with gangs.

"He was a good kid. He didn't mess with nobody. He was like normal. He never started nothing with nobody. I don't know why somebody would jump him," said classmate Justin Backus.

Witnesses said that three males wearing blue attacked Maisonet while a fourth waited in a dark-colored sport utility vehicle.

"Red was his favorite color. He used to wear red a lot, but I don't think he was wearing it because of gangs. I think he just liked the color," said classmate Colleena Guzman.
-----------------------------------------
While we have the right to wear whatever colors we choose, one should know that a young person dressed in all red, or all light blue could be mistaken for a gang member or supporter, and there could be consequences for it.

I'm glad you put the bit in about the joke Supermom because I thought you were serious. I am happily married with a 2-yr old daughter so very normal.

I only replied because I fear for the world my daughter will be brought up in if everything I hold sacred is destroyed. Like I said in my post, I acknowledge people like the OP exist and live their own unusual lives but I think they should keep it to themselves a little more and not broadcast or promote it. If you are as super a mom as you seem to be, then maybe you agree with this? Tell your kids about people like the OP but also explain it is not how God intended people to live.

And sorry about the length of the sig, just something that has meant a lot to me over my life, helped me through some difficult times and that I thought others might find some comfort in. I can shorten it if necessary.

Question, if I met you,swmr545, in public, would you annoy me?

I encountered an annoying transvestite in public once. This idiot was going on & on in a pharamacy waiting line about how he looked better than the women in the room, how he made so much more money than anyone in the room, etc. He not only was acting like a complete idiot, but was being a nuisance to everyone that was trying to paitiently wait for their number to pop up on the screen.

I've known and worked with gay people, both men & women, and the ones I worked with acted normal in public and didn't rub their differences in everyone elses face. I invited them as friends to parties at my house, because they were normal people in my book.

So to re-word my question, what kind of person are you? One I would have no idea was different than me out in public, or are you one of those that make sure everyone knows that you are not heterosexual. One that has to flaunt their difference as opposed to one that knows how to go on about their daily business as if we are all the same, just human beings.

If your signature fits you--then don't shorten 'cause of others comments.

And yeah I'm a mom of two wonderful kids ( I love to brag about them )--but I firmly believe that I want my kids to grow up learning that other people are different. That doesn't mean they have a right to be judgemental--that's Gods' job.

I won't pretend I don't have my judgemental moments--but I do try.

What if you don't believe in God?

What if you don't believe in God?

good question and what is OP ?

[folsom500]

Ok Another question that has been looked over in the other thread-

How many other gay students did you know and how many were harassed to the same or worse level as you during the time ?

Also - did they also complain without response to the harassment ?

Has anyone else filed a law suit as a result of this ?


Inquiring minds would like to know

Cheers

Who do you pray to asking for help for the Chicago Bears?

If nobody, maybe you should start!

It's obvious that there is no God or half of the Bears wouldn't be injured.

Naw--that just means half the bears suck...and can't protect their team mates

and the other half of the bears weren't physically fit at the beginning of the season--or they wouldn't be getting injured.

good question and what is OP ?

OP=Original Poster

As for getting bullied, I remember getting beat up in Junior High because I was white. When the girls asked me if I was Mexican, I was hoping my Italian would pass, but just as I was slammed into the locker, I realized it didn't.

I agree bullying is horrible, and we have seen in recent years what can happen, but I'm not real sure about suing. I am pretty much against lawsuits, except under few circumstances. I don't really have any questions for you, swmr, except for one that I think has been asked before. What action was taken at the time - did you report the incidents, what was the response, etc. I hope some good comes out of this situation, and I wish you luck.
