Two California high school students became one of the first lesbian couples crowned homecoming king and queen in the nation this weekend.
Rebeca Arellano, a senior at Patrick Henry High School, was made theschool's first female homecoming king when her name was announced Friday at a pep rally.
"They were chanting my name and it was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had," said Arellano.
Just like I posted here some time ago about the Presbyterians, chanting because they had elected a gay minister, this young people have succumbed to the wrong way of seeing reality.
I really like what Jim West has to say about this turn of events:
I'm not applauding. And it isn't because I 'hate' gays or am a homophobe. It's because she isn't a male and she can't, therefore, be a 'king'. Furthermore, why is she singled out as someone worthy of attention when there are, across the country, tens of thousands of young men and women who lead worthy-of-attention lives but are never recognized merely because they aren't living deviantly?
Gays and Lesbian activists insist constantly that homosexuality is more than mere sex and yet any time the issue IS sex (sexuality)(gender) it's trotted out as a parade example of what gay can be.
If this young lady were really an upstanding example of humankind, why is it necessary to mention her sexual orientation? When 'straight' Homecoming Kings across the country are crowned I guarantee not one of them will be feted because of their heterosexuality. You won't see a single report on the Huffington Post declaring 'Heterosexual male crowned homecoming king!'
Why do gay activists make everything out of sexual orientation if it isn't the only aspect of their being that defines them?
I hope Miss Arellano has a good life and that it turns out to be about more than just her sexual orientation. Because at this juncture, that's all it's about.
I totally agree with Jim about how being gay, supposedly makes a person unique this days. You never hear about heterosexual homecoming queens and kings making front page news, unless there's a scandal of sorts. This sort of thing, I have given a name, heterophobia, or the fear that is manifested in proclaiming or insinuating that being gay is better than being straight.
And in the following sentence from the original news post, I find reason to believe that this is happening:
Arellano said one of her teachers told her, "Today school is a bit better because of you girls."
What? So all the heterosexual children at school never made the school special? Giving a lesbian couple the honour of being homecoming queen and king makes a school better? How about when a heterosexual couple wins such a price, that makes the school then, average?
But these girls are savvy. Look at her response to other girls who don't agree with her being crown homecoming king:
"We have a lot of support, but there are also a lot of people who are angry about it," she said. "Anonymous Patrick Henry students are saying they're embarrassed and that it's wrong for a girl to take the spot of king. But there's no other way for us to run as a couple. It's not really fair for us not to have the right to run as a couple."
Arellano posted a statement to those who opposed her on her Facebook wall that read: "For all the girls who think tradition should be continued, go back to the kitchen, stop having sex before you're married, get out of school and job system, don't have an opinion, don't own any property, give up the right to marry who you love, don't vote, and allow your husband to do whatever he pleases to you. Think about the meaning of tradition when you use it in your argument against us."
My answer to this diatribe would be, why do you yourselves adhere to a tradition, the proclamation of the homecoming queen and king, while you want to reject other sorts of tradition?
This is just another example of people wanting to make their own reality, at the expense of everybody else. You may have had made the headlines, but your worth as a contributor of mankind (yes, mankind), is still to be seen.
