Gay High

Dang, the way these NYCBlogger/RNN questions (see yesterday's post) are phrased is still bugging the hell out of me. Take today's: Gay High School: Good Idea or Waste of Money?

Why not just say "Spider-Man: Threat or Menace?" while you're at it? Way to go with those leading negative words!

Of course it's a good idea to have the choice of a safe-space high school available for any societally-disadvantaged group that's being harrassed and beaten up and, you know, killed or driven to suicide. It's not the end of friggin' civilization. It's not a waste of money to have historically black universities or parochial schools. Have these whiners learned nothing from the X-Men movies?

I'm sorry, this is one of those daily questions where the very asking seems ridiculous. So go for it, RNN, take my opinion for whatever you feel it's worth. Snikt, and all that.
