Yeah, I guess there’s a lot of area between being a “hero” and getting a lot of credit… definitely showed a lot of guts.

I too see and to most degree’s agree with the points you made. While she may not be a hero in our eyes, or that there is more important issues going on in world. We have to admit this young lady is making a difference to someone. And I for one have to give her some “credit” for trying.

Your wrong. This assembly in honor of MLK is about “breaking the silence: on things that matter”. As far as people saying it appears fake or rehearsed, well she is a theatrical student, so maybe that was her way of getting over the nervousness. Dont forget, one sign of a truly nervous person???? Red face which she clearly had. Oh and she didnt just blindside them, she went to them and stated that she wanted to make a speech but just didnt say what it was about, because the girl in office thought she was signing up to sing. So people who think this was wrong or just a show. Get a life. This girl may not be a hero or brave to some. But she is that to another student who may be afraid of coming out.

I was referring to your statement that the gays you know are “doing fine” and “don’t seem persecuted.” yes, because your perception of the world is fact. oh wait, it isn’t. just because you don’t see something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

This is the Kevin Marshall blog, it’s where Kevin Marshall writes things he wants to write about, or what he thinks people might be interested in. As I write this there’s 54 comments, obviously people are interested. I hope this clears up some confusion.

Why can ONLY someone GAY have an opinion? So if you ARE gay you have no right to any opinion regarding non-gay issues? You have a large credibility gap and I’m afraid it’s between your ears.

kari, did YOU read the part where Kev said students, staff, faculty and administrators prepped themselves for what they hought would be a pedestrian rememberance ceremony? That doesn’t lead me to believe she had her coming out talk preapproved by anyone.

This poor bastard was in a bar and got beat up because of his sexual orientation…
