Apparently those amusingly stifled people in charge of Tennessee want to ban teachers from talking about homosexuality (because silence will be highly beneficial to any young people going through their sexual awakenings...) and George has had some thoughts on it.

George Takei is pretty awesome. I think we can all agree there.

Some woman was talking about how dangerous and immoral it was to be gay on the phone at work today. I totally Marboed her and asked if she needed anything. She was a little shocked and immediately changed her conversation. If she wasn't saying something she felt like she shouldn't be saying on some level she wouldn't have changed what she was saying.

How is it dangerous to be gay?
I haven't heard of gay terorists or gay militants...
Equally being gay carries about the same risk to a person as it does being straight.

And morals are subjective so they don't really count.

I don't want to stereotype them but the American religious right would have a complete fit over that, luckily there would be comething to balance them out...
Then again America doesn't exactly have much in a way of a left... or a center come to think of it...

They're not performing their God-given duty of populating the Fatherland for our Holy Wars, I guess.

Mind you a lot of the kinds of people who dislike gays are the people who believe that there are angry sky wizards who will one day levitate them into paradise if they tell others about him hard enough. Paradise is apparently somewhere between the stratosphere and the ionosphere. It must also have a cloaking field.

Who can fathom why they feel the way they do?

I am a bit disappointed.

How can one be fabulous and takei at the same time?

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

Good to see that Takei is still hanging in and "fighting the good fight". For a country that prides itself on "freedom" some Americans (not all, mind you, far from it!) sure act hostile.

For thirteen years I had a dog with fur the darkest black. For thirteen years he was my friend, oh how I want him back.

I think it's stupid (the law).

Ok,some people are gay,yes some people don't agree,as long as they keep it to themselves everyone is happy.

I had a prefectly normal day and if I did meet a gay person,it didn't kill me. Just live life and get over it.

This makes no sense; would it make more sense to tel students about homosexuality so they know its perfectly normal instead of them growing up hating gays because they know nothing about it.
