I call BS. But I am happy to see your visions of a gay hero movie coming to fruition. Keep it going.

I am not a gay hero, just a big queer in Republican Bible Land.

I am Level-Headed because I quit smoking and took up buddhist meditation and relaxation techniques. Honestly!

It was definately the second type comment.

I am not going to be vindictive, because now I have one of these in the big game!

hey Steve, nice job. The quitting smoking thing is still going well for you? I'd like to hear more about that, the meditation, etc. Sounds like your head is in a good place right now, and that's great.

What did she say exactly? It would have to be something pretty vicious and hateful for me to take your response.

Flippant gay remarks are so common that in many cases I think they would be a case of Ms D just making a juvenile joke or being insensitive, and you'd be better served to just privately make sure it wouldn't happen again. It's hard for someone on the outside to understand how much crap like this you probably put up with though, and you were well within your rights to react the way you did. In fact I'm pretty impressed.

Not MCC and yes "Harvard On The Hill" needs to be bulldozed.

You have a PM.

I think there's a touch of Jedi in all this. Did you have to restrain the temptation of a Force Choke?

Would the school act the same way if the teacher had criticised someone for being a Catholic, or a supporter of the Iraq War, or some other minority not embraced by the ACLU?


Big Steve should not face discrimination any more than any other minority (even those unpopular in the political correctness universe).

Just curious, how did she know you were gay? Has it come up in class discussions or something?

Well done, Steve. I'm sorry you have to deal with this kind of [censored].
