An assembly in Dunkerton, IA was informed that most gay men will die before the age of 42. There was also Lady Gaga bashing, Elton John bashing, and promoting Christian values in a public high school setting.

Does Elton John have good moral standards?

Did Lady Gaga talk about filming a porn in Born This Way?

Does pop culture "push" homosexuality and sexual deviancy onto the public?

You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International, the group putting on the presentation, is actually listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Has sexuality been stripped of all moral significance?

What do you think, Newgrounds?

I don't understand what is wrong with being homosexual. It's their life style choice, and you shouldn't have any right to criticize them or throw a rude comment out against them. We're all human.

Everyone knows that them damn churches are always fucking everything up. Priests shouldn't be allowed to marry to see how they like it.

Wait a minute!

Why, thank you for noticing!

I believe all devout fundie Christians need to be exterminated. We should concentrate them into FEMA camps and neglect to provide rations or something.

To answer your good question: yes, pop is influencing culture into being more lenient towards homosexuality and sex (not to be confused with being a bad thing). People will have their beliefs regardless of scientific evidence or lack thereof. And, said people are prone to teaching their children the beliefs they have developed. While I am glad this is not a story of yet another school succumbing to the ridiculous idea of political correctness, I do not believe it is right to demonize an entire group of people. Who someone is and what they do are two completely different subjects.

But, as usual, I think this whole thing is silly.

Yes, the mature and rational solution to a minor problem regarding disagreement in belief can be solved by barbaric, genocidal means. You would fit well in 1915 Ottoman Empire.

I don't know OP, but one thing's for sure, I learned that NG needs an edit feature/function.

Because there may be a time when you have to go back, or something can be said better by you. I think editing is better than double posts, but that's just me.

Anyways, while I do think that both sides of an argument have to be considered, opinions should be supported by some kind of fact. The guy in the video started to make up stuff, or at the very least did not cite sources (so he might as well be making up stuff), and he started to take things out of context. Honestly, when most kids watch the lion king are they going to immediately know who Elton John is or his sexuality? Kids don't sit through credits...true story (lol). I'm very unfamiliar with GaGa and her music. I may look up some songs later to try to see what he was talking about in her songs.

Iowa is one of the few states that allows same sex marriage, so why would this happen? You'd think these people would be the last kinds who would have this on their minds. Then again, there are always going to be a wide variety of nutjobs in any institution, unfortunately.

Did Lady Gaga talk about filming a porn in Born This Way?

She never talked about it, but all of her music videos are secretly porn.

So BS hate speech holds the same value as scientifically supported points of view and tolerance for all?

False, in most Islamic countries homosexuality either results in the death penalty or life in prison.

Didn't you make fun of people who thought homosexuality was a choice before?

Anyway, let them speak. Though I think every aspect of their argument is pure shit (I also hate the "politically correct" shit too, but this is just ridiculous), they should have the right to speak. I don't think it's the unpopular opinion that should cease them, but the fact that they are obstructing school productivity.

Either way, if people need the government to intervene every time some radical opens their mouth, then society has truly failed.

The gays better watch out in Iowa, they may be bashed.

lady gaga should be hanged and burned

Political correctness =/= an agenda. Political correctness means gay tolerance, not gay acceptance. They're not forcing an agenda onto anyone.

You should try being more tolerant. Start off by not judging the entirety of homosexuals as annoying/douches. There are plenty more straight people who are annoying/disruptive than the stereotypical interpretation of gay people.

Don't pull the "I'm alright with them as long as they leave me alone" because that's not dealing with the 'problem' it's just homophobic.

Political correctness past a certain point is an agenda. It's pretty fucking sad that some pre-AP and AP classes at High School can't have some classic books because it might be offensive to part of the class because of the language used.

I think that's bullshit. The words 'n*gger' and 'fag' are part of American history. They shouldn't be used as insults, but they do hold a lot of historical context, and shouldn't just be hidden or any shit.

It's pretty sad that somebody asked why a gay kid used that stupid fucking forced accent (He only said accent) got written up for saying something homophobic.

Is the person actually gay? Or was it assumed he was based only off of the accent?
