Lesbian DELETED from High School Yearbook

WolfyOne · 04-29-2010, 09:32 AM

How sad that a group of adults find they must fear a child because of who she is and what kind of clothing she chooses to wear.

I'm thinking many parts of Mississippi need protesters to shout loud and proud.......we're here to stay and never going away. We are everywhere you want to be. You don't have to love it, but you do have to live with it. We've come a long way babies.

I am incredibly saddened over this..... How can anyone do this to a *CHILD* sick sick sick.

Sometimes I think that these people are doing this because they are so mad at the Queer/trans community for fighting for all of the rights that we deserve. "Let's just take it out on the children...that will show them!!"

This young person has been an outstanding student, yet she has been deleted from the year book. It really is sad, and you have to wonder where such hatred comes from. What are they teaching their children? It is THEIR children that will get the real wake up call when they go off to college and realize that a mindset like theirs might just be the minority way of thinking at some colleges. He/she might just get a taste of his/her own medicine, ya know?!

People can be so hateful and mean. It just floors me every time I see something like this!!!

Diva · 04-29-2010, 10:14 AM

This is so sad, it makes me sick to my stomach!

Is this the time when I take my signs and go stand in front of the school?

I think this gave me a huge violent shove in my decision whether to study for LSAT.....

Jet · 04-29-2010, 10:19 AM

She's really cute—great hair. Jus' sayin' because its waaaay too bad that this is happening to someone who is probably nice, loving etc.

She's needs to get out of hick Miss. and come to a place like Atlanta and start breathing.

Me too, HowSoonisNow.

I've been contacted various LGBTQ groups all over Mississippi this morning, inviting them all to the Reunion and trying to find out what they need to feel more supported in fighting this bullshit in their school systems.

One person I spoke with said that calling the school district and sending letters is a great idea and also said that donating to orangizations like UnityMississippi( http://unityms.org/ ) helps them with their anti-oppression work.

I'm just sickened by the hate and homophobia from these school districts toward CHILDREN. It's one thing for adults to attack other adults (and certainly no less hurtful), but to do this to a child? To do this to someone who is still in their formative years? What kind of fucked up adult helps make a child feel like an outcast?

Im just SEETHING over this.

Gemme · 04-29-2010, 10:39 AM

You've got to wonder who stormed up this brainchild of an idea.

"Ummmm, yeah....we really don't approve of her and her lifestyle, so we're going to erase her from the yearbook. That way, no one will remember the lesbian girl with the good grades. Yeah, yeah...and since she's erased, no one will find out. Yeah, yeah...and since no one will find out, we'll get away with it scot free. Yeah! Do it! Do it!"

I used to be upset with how my father deals with my identity, but now I realize...considering he grew up in MS and that mentality....of course, so did I, but I digress....he's a pretty decent guy. He disapproves, but he keeps it to himself. My dad is my very own DADT.

I agree...Mostly with the first part...
Rather Suave, nice photo...
As for the second part...Nahhhh, unless her Life is threatened, stay...make a difference, do what she's doing now {with her mothers aid}

Rook · 04-29-2010, 11:21 AM

Yes, you would have a right to know, Snow.
But, if they do ask which School your kid is in, and you tell them..
Things change from there.
I'm aware you're not harassing, but, whatever number you're intent on calling every day for answers..They might say it.
Especially if every day they give you the same answers they just gave diva...
just saying.

I think it would be just as bad if she was less than attractive and had been a troublemaker for her whole school life. The school is there for all of the students. That's why there are laws about individualized education for everyone. Their bigotry is deplorable because of who they are, not because of who she is.

Julien · 04-29-2010, 08:34 PM

I was thinking about the invisibility that the school forced on Ceara. At least she on her own agenda wore the clothes that made her comfortable and stated who she was. I say good for her. I also think about when I was in high school and my senior portrait. At the time I wasn't out as transgendered, so I played it there way. I did the feminine thing, make-up, long hair and a "drape" they used to expose the shoulders. It was like a dress. Anyway, I hated that picture and it was the one put in the yearbook. It also graces my parents home. I see it as the girl they never got, because they got me instead. I hate to see that picture even to this day. Because that is not me, it is someone I was pretending to be. I think that in itself is a sort of invisibility, that is to conform to the status quo.
