And, how, unless the student “outs” him or her self to them, exactly are the teachers and administrators supposed to determine if a child “might” be gay?
What criteria does one use to determine that?
A girl who likes sports?
A girl who’s a “tomboy,” because she likes to hang around with the boys, and punches their arms?
Does the girl prefer jeans to dresses?
A boy who likes poetry?
A boy who likes to hang around with girls, and giggles a lot?
Does the boy like to be very neatly dressed?

Yeah, if they were to accuse every middle school child who was ever called a “fag” or a “dyke,” then, well, EVERY parent would be told that their child is, or “might” be, Gay.
The “TEH STOOOOOPID FORCE” is powerful in these people.

Sexual morality is utterly, critically important.
Sexual perversion is damaging to mankind.
Marriage is truly, truly SACRED and not a mere point of civil contract law.
Divorce is evil.
Divorce and remarriage is intolerable.
Sex outside of marriage is gravely sinful.

Sodomy and all of the other sexual perversions are so evil that they literally destroy entire civilizations.
