Court: Ok for Christian school to keep on a hatin’ them queers

Schools can expel students that seem gay, appeals court rules

A California appeals court ruled Monday that a Christian high school can expel students perceived to be lesbians, upholding a 2008 lower court ruling that there were “no triable” elements to the case.

The 4th District Court of Appeal in Riverside on Monday upheld California Lutheran High School’s right as a private, religious organization to exclude students based on sexual orientation. The ruling was released late Tuesday.

The two 16-year-old girls sued the school for expelling them on the basis of a “bond of intimacy” “characteristic of a lesbian relationship,” under a California discrimination law.</em>

Really? Think it would be legal if they kicked out blacks? Or Jews? Or how about we start a school and exclude all deity on a stick-based idiots? Would that be legal? Let us once again remember the words of Denis Diderot:

“man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest”.

Screw the California Lutheran High School, the appeals court, and any other organized force that relegates human beings to second class status simply because two girls kissing makes your pants feel funny, and you’re ashamed and envious. Grow up or shut the fuck up, doesn’t matter which, but you’re ultimately gonna lose. Bigots always have, even though it seems to take forever to bury some of you.
