More after this clip:
Laura Burman politely rebuts the ill-informed man gracefully; if not with an air of amusement at just how backward this man thinks, regardless of whatever delusional logic he decides to spin inside his narrow mind.
Nevertheless, we feel the need to re-affirm (*sigh*) the truth, point by (*sigh*, again) point:
MYTH:
"Socially it is much more difficult to be a homosexual than a heterosexual in America."
TRUTH:
This is true, due to the mis information and stigma painted by people like Bill O'Reilly. The challenge isn't homosexuality, it is homophobia and some people's desire to make it out to be something that it isn't.
MYTH:
"Religiously, there are people who believe that that kind of a lifestyle is against their religion and they pass that onto their children."
TRUTH:
Homosexuality is NOT a lifestyle! We believe religion shouldn't ever play a part in a public education setting. Gayness can't be "passed" onto other students. Sexual orientation is something you are born with, not chosen, regardless of "experimentation".
MYTH:
"An exposition of sexuality in a minor situation is inappropriate in an academic setting."
TRUTH:
Coming out or declaring a relationship at school is no more a sexual exposition than someone declaring they are heterosexual and are partnered. Sexuality is something that develops in all teenagers. Homosexual teens have the same right to express themselves and develop normally as their heterosexual counterparts. Sending a message that they should hide their feelings is unnatural and dangerous to their self esteem and health.
MYTH:
"There is no reason why homosexuals have to declare themselves more than anything other than friends."
TRUTH:
There is every reason why homosexuals should be open and truthful of who they are. It is important to their self esteem and normal social and sexual development. It also helps develop a society who isn't blinded by an artificial view of spectrum of natural sexual orientation.

Phew! We doubt good ol' Bill will ever read or absorb this message, but it sure feels good being on the truth's side!
