Contrary to what the liberal homosexual movement would like you and me to believe, the actual percentage of gay Americans is around 0.0004%, a relatively small minority. Since they cannot reproduce, much of the gay community has taken to introducing gay courses into elementary level schools. Case in point: Some California second graders are being taught gay indoctrination courses in school. I have seen the books they read from in class, such as "How do two little boys kiss" and "Sally has two mommies." IMHO it is appaling. Such subject matter should not be taught to our children. As a parent and conservative, I myself have a ardent view on the whole subject. Currently in Utah there are numerous billboards that read: Someone you know and love is gay (most likely due to the Winter Games). Not one member of my family is gay. No one I love or consider a friend is gay. None of my current neighbors is gay. Being gay is not a normal aspect of society, it is a relative minority.

Yes, but you live in Utah, I am from Utah originally, I knew several gay people there, two were my ex-wife's uncle and his significant other? boyfriend? they lived together.

But they are a minority in Utah, they are openly gay. Utah is an arch-conservative state. I'm sure those signs will go down soon.
Utah is not the real world. Not knocking the state, but the rules are different there.

Remember the gay clubs in high school? what happened? They couldn't allow gay and lesbian clubs in school, so naturally they removed ALL clubs rather than do this.

AS is still in high school, iirc. And it is likely that, teens being teens, he might not "know" any gay people because:

1. Gay teens aren't secure enough in their individuality to assert their sexuality.
2. AS, being a normal teen, is too inexperienced and self-absorbed to recognize the subtle (and not so subtle) clues that someone is gay.

True, but you never can tell. My next door neighbour when i was in school had a mate who we always thought was a bit suss, but he was a nice bloke, so we all let him be. Ten years later my mate brought them up in coversation and i expected him to say that Dookie had "come out", only to find that my next door neighbour had put the hard word on him, mistakenly thinking that he way gay!

You just never can tell
