‘Queer’ has been replaced by ‘gay’ and all is apparently harmonious, meaning that the production goes ahead. It is all a bit bizarre that the dispute has to go to the eleventh hour to get resolved. So much political posturing on both sides…

There are some complete weirdos working in education. At the private Roman Catholic school I attended for seven years some of the views expressed by the faculty and students on this subject were utterly neanderthal. There was a gay chemistry teacher who was forced by, I’m guessing, the governors or head teacher to claim he had a wife when needled about his wedding ring by nosey students! He even joked about this with the 6th formers who sometimes bumped into him on the city’s gay scene.

I am a bit relieved that for once the Americans aren’t the ones bungling dialogue between the parents and the artists and the children and the media. All this suggests that the Tea Party has arrived in Leeds. Oy.

The only thing that will come from this, is that 300 kids will probably get the notion installed in thier mind by thier parents that somehow being gay is wrong. Kids that age will accept anything. If its that way, it’s that way. There was a reaction on the Guardian-site by a mom who’s son’s schoolfriend always got brought to school by his 2 moms, the other kids never stopped to think that that would be wierd. I promised myself not to get irritated by dumbass people, but I find I still do. The general population is getting better at thinking for themselfs, instead of following what’s been fed to them. But even 500 years from now there will be people who mentally never get past the Middle Ages.
PS. is “schadenfreude” a word that an average American would understand?

I hate to be pedantic, but wouldn’t only one of the boys have his own reality show?
