...organize a high school club for homos? Seems very unlikely to me. My dad retired from teaching high school math in the late 90's. I knew a lot of his co-workers. None of them would have organized a club for fags. The only ones who would do so would be men who were titillated by being in proximity to fresh meat. Weird.
shareDo straight men...organize a high school club for homos?
Only two types of people would organize a gay club for kids in high school: a gay teacher, or a straight teacher who is a gay ally, and 9x out of 10, the person from either group is a liberal white woman. Sometimes I can't tell who's worse: gay activists, or the straight guard dogs who seem bound and determined to protect them.
More than once I got attacked verbally by [what I later learned were] gay allies among my fellow students. You should have seen them explode when I'd tell them the ugly truths about gay people. Their favorite line to tell me was, "There's nothing wrong with gay people!" Retroactively, I sometimes wish I'd asked them, "Who told you that?" and they not only wouldn't have an answer, they'd probably get even angrier if I pointed out that they were stupid enough to believe whatever a gay person or people on TV told them. Sadly, life doesn't provide good lines in one's script, so often the fights ended in both of us glaring at each other and walking away.
And keep in mind this was happening during the millennium, when it wasn't cool to be gay at all, there were no trans kids at all, and the few gay teachers we had, had to be discrete about their perversion or lose their jobs.
That's what I mean. This allegedly happened in the late 90's. To form a gay club for students in that era was far touchier than it would be today. Today, as you correctly noted, there would be not shortage of blue haired, screeching harpies willing to show how stunning and brave they are. But 25 years ago, we weren't quite there. For a male teacher to publicly get involved in this sort of extra-curricular activity is extremely suspect.
But we know that public schools, perhaps far more than the Catholic Church, are infested with pedos, who get shuffled from town to town when their misdeeds are uncovered.
That sort of shuffling existed in the Teacher's Unions and Public School System long before being gay became in vogue.
You see, the system is such that they will actually protect bad teachers, shuffling them off to different schools so they won't be out of a job, despite messing up royally. I know, because I had a school principal in the 4th grade like that.
(I'll first preface this by saying that public schools in Wisconsin often have courtyards built into them). This particular principal had the appearance of an ugly, blond, librarian type, and bitchy to boot. I ended up in her office several times because her favorite little black pet kept bullying me, but it was me who would get punished. He was under Madame Principal's special protection, because he was a poor, oppressed minority.
But my mom was working as a home ec teacher in a high school across town, and she got some really piping hot tea on my principal. Turns out she had been fired from the school she had worked at before coming to mine; because of a rather interesting stunt she pulled at her last school. She apparently was having sex with another teacher in an empty classroom, and that empty classroom had big windows facing the courtyard at that particular school. Our genius of a school principal never anticipated that an entire class of 5th graders in another classroom would see what was going on across the courtyard.
But instead of blacklisting this bitch from ever working at any more schools, she was merely shuffled off to the school I was attending during 4th grade. This little black boy who kept bullying me was from that school too, and he had been a real POS there too. It was this slut of a principal who had arranged for him to come over to my school so he could be under her "protection." Didn't seem to matter how many times that little shit would bother me at recess, it was always me being punished, not him.
If fate was kind, both of them are probably dead by now; her from old age, and him from a gang shootout or a prison riot.
Another homophobe OP starts online homophobic rant as an attempt to fight his own insecurity about his sexuality.
shareSo, is it homophobic to accuse someone of being gay?
share"Homophobes should consider a little self-reflection, suggests a new study finding those individuals who are most hostile toward gays and hold strong anti-gay views may themselves have same-sex desires, albeit undercover ones.
The prejudice of homophobia may also stem from authoritarian parents, particularly those with homophobic views as well, the researchers added.
"This study shows that if you are feeling that kind of visceral reaction to an out-group, ask yourself, 'Why?'" co-author Richard Ryan, a professor of psychology at the University of Rochester, said in a statement. "Those intense emotions should serve as a call to self-reflection.""

After you self-reflect, realize you don't have to fear or hide your gayness in animosity. Be proud! π³οΈβπ
Then you've just outed yourself as gay.
shareBelieve it or not, when I was in High School in the 80's, specifically 1981-1985, the subject of someone being "Gay" was surprisingly never brought up that I can recall?? No shit. Unreal
shareI followed right on your heels, 1985 - 1989, and it wasn't a subject of discussion then, either.
I'm still involved with my class' committee on reunions and other activities. One other guy is a classmate I've known since kindergarten, grew up on the next block down. He was our class president in high school. Turned out that he's gay. He sometimes comes to our meetings with his significant other. But the two of them are very discreet, normal acting, and their sexuality is completely in the background. My point is that his being gay wasn't even suspected during our school days. He even took a girl to the prom. It really wasn't a subject of discussion. There were a few kids in school that were clearly gay, but they were content to dress and act oddly and the rest of us went about our days without giving it much thought. The odd snide remark among ourselves? Maybe. But it was never the case that they were set upon by packs of bullies.
But today, they're front and center. Exalted creatures of whom is due your deference. And for what?
Straight men can have empathy for gay people and condemn the prejudice they face.
shareThese days, one never knows. I sure as hell wouldn't involved. Queers are nasty human beings and I would never want to be associated with that behavior.
Same reason I don't associate with drug addicts, drunks or wife beaters. Or beta cuck liberals.
