Two Lesbian High School Students Sue to Accompany Each Other to Dance

CHAMPLIN, Minn. (AP) — Two lesbian high school students who fought for the right to walk together as part of a royalty court made their entrances Monday to the cheers of hundreds of classmates.
Sarah Lindstrom and Desiree Shelton wore matching black suits with pink ties and held hands as they entered the Snow Days Pep Fest at Champlin Park High School in Minneapolis’ northwest suburbs.
The reaction came as a relief to the couple and school administrators. The district has been stung by criticism of its policies toward homosexuality and the alleged bullying of a gay student who killed himself.
“It felt amazing,” said Shelton, adding that she was too nervous to notice dozens rise to give her a standing ovation as she walked in with Lindstrom. “I think we were too focused on getting to the stage.”
If there were any boos, they were drowned about by supporters. “I feel so much better,” Lindstrom said while surrounded by friends after the rally.
Sarah’s mother, Shannon Lindstrom, camera in hand, joined the other mothers of children in the royalty court after the rally.
“They had a lot of courage,” she said Shelton and her daughter. “Look how far we’ve come.”
Students voted onto the royalty court traditionally enter the assembly in boy-girl pairs. After Lindstrom and Shelton, both 18, were elected, school officials last week announced a change in procedure: court members would walk in individually or accompanied by a parent or favorite teacher.
School officials said they merely wanted to prevent the two from being teased. But on Friday, two human rights groups sued on their behalf.
On Saturday, in federally mediated talks, school officials relented. The two sides agreed that members of the royalty court would be escorted by anyone meaningful to them, regardless of gender or age.
“This is a new chapter for the district,” said Sam Wolfe, a lawyer with the Southern Poverty Law Center, which filed the lawsuit along with the National Center for Lesbian Rights and local assistance from the Minneapolis law firm of Faegre and Benson.
Young women in evening gowns and young men in dark suits walked through a makeshift arch and to the stage during the Monday afternoon pep rally complete with cheerleaders, dance teams and the school band. So did two young women in suits, and the crowd cheered for each one.
“They did great,” said Principal Mike George. “I’m proud of our students.”
Several of the students in the crowd didn’t understand what all the fuss over the lesbian couple.
“Some people are against it, but they don’t care if they walk down a stupid runway,” said Maggie Hesaliman, 14.
Melissa Biellefe, 16, said, “We’re a pretty respectful school. Our rule is just let people be who they are.”
Champlin Park is part of the Anoka-Hennepin school district, Minnesota’s largest, which has been in the spotlight in the past year for its handling of issues involving gay and lesbian students.
It has been in the crossfire for its policy of “neutrality” in classroom discussions of homosexuality. It was reached in 2009 as a way to balance the demands of liberal and conservative families, but neither side has been completely happy with it.
The issues flared again last year after a gay student, Justin Aaberg, killed himself. His mother has said she heard too late from Justin’s friends that he had been harassed.
Aaberg was one of six students who committed suicide in the district since the beginning of the 2009-10 school year, and advocacy groups have linked some of the other deaths to the bullying of gay students.
However, the district said last month its own investigation did not find evidence that bullying contributed to the students’ deaths.

Posted on February 1, 2011 at 10:23amSo Pragmatica, are they also having a gender-identity crisis? Why would two self-identified homosexual women (which would indicate they are attracted to other women) want to both dress like men? That would mean that each woman is attracted to men, and thus – not homosexual… or did I miss something in their decision to dress like the opposite sex in order to show their desires to be with people of their same sex?!? So confusing…

Now logically answer this question. “Why would God create a group of people whom He considers an abomination?” Did he just make them to damn them? I don’t believe God is that nuts, nor to I believe in a God who wants to damn anyone. These kids were not born that way. They made a choice to be that way, and the world cheers for what God considers an abomination (that’s something really, really bad in God’s eyes). The whole premise makes no sense.

Posted on February 1, 2011 at 9:19amConservativeMe… You are making a false equivalence between “homosexuality”, which is harmless and consensual relationship among two consenting ADULTS, and things like “pedophilia” and “murder”! These things are apples and oranges!
Pedophelia is NOT consensual and aimed at “minors” and “children” that are specifically protected by laws! Murder is the killing of another person and does not resemble homosexuality in the least. Killing another person is against the law… Forcing sex upon a minor is against the law!!! People may be born with a proclivity to have sex with minors, BUT having sex with minors is ILLEGAL and thus they should go to jail. Minors are different than consenting adults! At least within a free society where adults can make their own personal, private decisions!
Being gay is NOT against the law! The government has not outlawed homosexuality and thus two consenting adults can enter into a consensual relationship if they see fit.

Posted on February 1, 2011 at 9:11am@Pragmatica You’re exactly right, though I think you are overestimating the number of “libertarians” in the tea party. The tea party is nothing more than the equal and opposite reaction to the Obama phenomenon in 2007-2008. Libertarianism was the only legitimate philosophy to cling onto after Bush had destroyed neo-conservatism for the party and McCain failed to harness the folksy war hero image to any success. So Ron Paul libertarianism was hijacked by social conservatives who want exactly what you said: big government that enforces their social agenda. Like it or not folks, hating gay people is no way to run an economy, and in 2011 it’s not even a way to win an election.

Posted on February 1, 2011 at 9:25amI agree wholeheartedly! It’s why the Tea Party cannot attract independents and cannot grow substantially, and will ultimately fade away as a political force. Most independents and Libertarians are “progressive” on social issues (homosexual marriage, reproductive freedoms, ect…) and thus the Tea Party has an inherent identity crisis that will split their support. I lean right-wing on economic issues but I’m progressive on things like abortion and homosexuality, and the Tea Party is a turn-off for me in the end! I’m pro-immigrant and pro-homosexuality and so even though I’m “Libertarian”, I don’t have a home in the Tea Party, which is more about cultural hostility (anti-homosexuality, birthers, anti-immigrant, ethnic nativism, ect…)!

If you read any holy book, not just the Bible, it will teach you that homosexuality should be avoided. Even reading the book “Hagakure”, a far eastern doctrine that teaches how to be a great warrior, tells it’s student to avoid homosexuality. Why, until recently, did the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) ban homosexuality? Why do all these teachings tell people to avoid this behavior (and yes it is a behavior)? Because it is not natural to live that way and will eventually lead to personal ruin, just as any other vice. If our people are weak and give into our vices easily then how long will our nation stand? Why is that so hard to understand? I know people are barking about personal freedom but personal freedom comes with personal responsibility to live a just and upright life with moral rectitude. That is something this nation is getting further and further away from and events like this just push it on down the road towards ruin.

This type of behavior injures the moral fabric of society. I don‘t know your age but I ask if you remember New York City in the late ’70s and early ’80s? Time Square was nothing but strip clubs and porno stores. Crime was even more rampant than in the more recent past and the city was in poor shape. Things did not start turning around for the city until the decadence was pushed out (of Times Square anyways).

Posted on February 1, 2011 at 10:18amPragmatica, of course there has always been a homosexual population. My problem with this is that these two are being cheered not for an achievement or an accomplishment but for their sexual preference. Why should anyone celebrate for them? Our society and the media has for quite some time been encouraging our population to define themselves by their sexual preferences. Sexuality is a private matter and it should be that way for everyone; not paraded around for all to see. The fact that these two are being cheered publicly for their sexual preferences is disgraceful. God help us, indeed.

Posted on February 1, 2011 at 8:27amIn the alliterative words of Daniel Patrick Moynihan, “Defining deviancy down,” is what authorizes the mother of one of the high school lesbians to say, ““They had a lot of courage.” and “Look how far we’ve come.”
Defining deviancy down gives the illusion that our society is progressing even as it is sliding every so quickly into the abyss. Defining deviancy down intoxicates our society so that parading deviant behavior in full public view, after suing for the right to do so, is called “courage” instead of “shameful” and “wicked.”

Posted on February 2, 2011 at 4:25pmAlthough I personally believe homosexuality is wrong, I think AmericanSoldier has brought up very valid points. I’d like to comment on a few of the topics being “discussed.” If being lesbians is what these two girls and millions of others choose to do with their lives, then so be it. I know many gay people. Some live their lives quietly and do not impose their lifestyles on anyone else, while others are flamboyantly gay and loud and obnoxious about it. That is what I am against. Why do some have to antagonize and provoke others by being so beligerant? The media has to make a big deal about it in order to fire everyone up and further divide us on inconsequential things. Making a big fuss about these two girls is precisely what I am opposed to. Why couldn’t the media allow them to quietly walk together down the aisle like everyone else. Why does this lifestyle need to be glorified and celebrated more than any other lifestyle choice. I chose to lose my virginity to my wife, who was also a virgin, after we were married. Was that choice celebrated? No, that lifestyle choice is considered “old-fashioned, out-dated, not feasible in today’s society, etc.” I do not judge these girls or any others for their choices, but I certainly do not feel that it needs to be applauded and encouraged.
Is it a choice? I don’t think that can ever be answered factually. AmericanSoldier is dead on with this. I have never had to convince myself to be attracted to beautiful women…it just happens. I have no control over it. So, I cannot say for sure if their biological makeup makes them attracted to the same sex. However, I do believe that God gives each of us challenges that we must learn to overcome. If someone is born with an inclination for violence, we would try to help that person overcome those “natural tendencies.” Since we can, with certainty, argue that homosexuality is not natural, based on the fact that procreation and continuation of species is not possible through this means, then we can argue that homosexual tendencies could be a God-given weakness for certain individuals to overcome. Other than horny dogs, who will try to mate with anything, why do we not see homosexuality anywhere else in the animal kingdom? Because it is not natural.
If any of my children turn out to be gay, I will continue to love them unconditionally. I do not hate these girls, but I do not think that their night should have been celebrated any louder than the straight couple(s) who also attended their special high school dance.

Posted on February 1, 2011 at 10:49amI ask those who say that homosexuality is a choice, do you hold the capacity to make this choice? Are you capable of being attracted to the same sex? Have you already had such thoughts?
I’m inclined to believe you have. You’ve thought naughty things about the same sex at some point in your life, haven’t you? You’ve had to battle that homosexual choice!
I don‘t believe it’s a choice. I was born a man and have been attracted to beautiful women all my life. I didn’t make that choice, it’s who I am. I’ve never had a homosexual thought either. Never felt compelled to kiss a man. That‘s why I believe it’s not a choice.
In order for one to believe it’s a choice, they must admit that they posses that ability to choose their sexuality. They just don’t want to admit to themselves that they might have been born gay, so thus it’s a choice that they were able to resist.
It’s the only explanation.

Posted on February 1, 2011 at 11:01amYes Pragamatica; I do believe being gay is a choice. Of course, there are many factors that help, nudge or convince you to choose that, but the fact is that when you analize the whole situation you will see that the wrong kind of parenthood, the relations with other kids, your school experience, predators and bullies around you, and so on are the ones that created the problem. After that, sex is like drugs and you keep being an addict or break away. You have to straight out your mind and understand the problem; then you can do it. The other day I was reading some advice about how to get rid of debt and the first point was: “You really have to want to get rid of it”. The thing about sex is pretty much the same. If you get to understand that you do not have to be a gay or lesbian, that help tremendously; if you get to see how much you are loosing by being one of them, then you are onto something.

I didn’t make that choice, it’s who I am. I’ve never had a homosexual thought either. Never felt compelled to kiss a man. That‘s why I believe it’s not a choice.”
First, thank you for your service.
Second, come on, all your life, really??? You never went through the ‘Eww, girl cooties stage’ when you were prepubescent? Sexuality is not just a matter of attraction – it is also a matter of revulsion. Homosexuals don’t just want to be with their own gender, but are often repulsed by the thought of being with the opposite gender; ‘girl cooties’ taken to the extreme, if you will.
Third, are you claiming you remember every single random thought that ever came into your head that you CHOSE not to dwell upon? How can you be sure you did not oh-so-briefly consider homosexuality and decide immediately it was not for you? Some people have those thoughts and choose to indulge them.
Fourth, to insist it is not a choice is in effect condemning the homosexual to a lifestyle they may not really want. So even if they believe it’s wrong, they are told they have no choice in the matter – no control over their feelings or actions since they were ‘born that way’.
Everything is a choice, and that includes your feelings. You can choose to be happy or miserable. You can choose to love your spouse or not (that’s why arranged marriages are so successful). You can choose to indulge that little thought that pops into your mind or not. You can choose to love God – or not. It’s called free will.

I had a friend once who was gay. He lived with his lover in house across the street from ours. One day, my friend for some reason took a trip to Israel. When he returned he shared with me all the fabulous experiences of his trip. I started noticing changes in his behavior only days after he returned- just seemed at peace with life. Anyway- he moved out of the house that he shared with his lover. I still keep up with him even though this was 20 years ago. He started dating women and even married a woman a few years later. HE said “it was the best decision of his life.”

No, its because of idiots like yourself and other biblethumpers that have no understand what “love they neighbor means.” Here is proof that tea-baggers hate the constitution and the freedoms it brings. One freedom is the freedom to associate and the freedom to live your life as you see fit. Both exist within the 9th Amendment of the Constitution.
Either you supported everyone’s freedom to purse happiness or you are nothing more than a christian version of the taliban, forcing all to conform with a book of fables, assembles in rome.

You are obviously a child using 1970′s logic. We who have some knowledge of things are not so ignorant as you and will not easily be persuaded by inane logic. We have become aware of many things and will not stand for perversion just to make some 13 year old think we are cool. We reject homosexuality which always goes side by side with child molestation on a level staggering for 2% of society to be molesting 40% of the molested children. We also draw the line at being accepting of Child molesting, beastiality, racists, wife beaters,necrophilia. Where do you draw the line. So you can hear from them accusatory comments.

Perhaps you should heed your own advice and study the Bible. Jesus didn’t say adultery (or homosexuality for that matter) is acceptable. If you had read the Bible you would know that Jesus told the woman caught in adultery to “Go and sin no more.” How hateful of Jesus to insist this woman stop committing adultery (or homosexuality)! You have made Jesus into your image. The Jesus you worship is nothing like who He says he is.

And not only do they know it is wrong, they have been convinced by liberals that they were born that way, that they have no choice about their sexual orientation, they have no power or control over their sexual feelings, and that they are destined to live a life of homosexuality.
Funny how the liberals are so pro-choice when it comes to so-called reproductive rights, but so anit-choice when it comes to sexual orientation – or dare I say, preference.

ENCINOM – How could you possibly know why a person committed suicide? Have you had friends, family or acquaintances that have done so? Have they told you why? Your response is way off. Having gone through the horror of losing someone through suicide a number of times, (and the anniversary date of one of those people was just last week) the trauma is unbelievable. In one case, the person was gay, another was a good friend from high school with incurable cancer, and the third one was a mother who killed her child first and then committed suicide.
Each one of them had different reasons – and none of them – not one – was associated with Christianity, the tea party or any political figure. However, each and every one was clearly associated with the loss of hope. Family played major roles in each one, and in different ways each time. But none of it had to do with religious beliefs. Betrayal, abandonment and wanting to spare the family the suffering of a lingering, painful death, yes. Christianity, no.
None of them was looking for personal freedom, they were looking to end the pain. Ironically, in each case, the note said they were “sorry”. Oh, yeah, and the rest of us were left to pick up the shattered pieces of our lives and go on.
And I do have to wonder about your comment regarding “tea baggers hating the constitution”. I thought “tea baggers” were gays who indulged in a particular sexual act. So gays hate the constitution? Okay, whatever. You’re allowed to believe what you want, no matter how wrong, I guess.

Posted on February 1, 2011 at 12:12pm1. Homosexuality is not about who someone is, but about how someone behaves. A “homosexual” is only identified by the type of sex he enjoys, otherwise he would just be called a “man.”
2. We should not be encouraging sexual activity in our youth.
3. If we are truly endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, people may have the choice to sin, but they do not have a God-given right to sin. God does not give us the right to do wrong.
4. Homosexuality is a destructive behavior emotionally and physically. It is not something that should be celebrated or applauded, especially for impressionable youth.
5. “Lipstick Lesbians” have made homesexuality palatable, especially for men. This seductive softcore approach to homosexuality has many living in the suburbs of Sodom and Gomorrah. By that I mean they say “I’m not a homosexual myself, but I see nothing wrong with it for others.” Funny, though, interest by men in homosexuality wanes when both women look like the boyfriend in the relationship rather than the girlfriend.

@ MOVETERAN
I suggest you read a little of your bible (If you own one, You likely don’t.)
You can start with Leviticus 20:13, which says that homosexuality is detestable http://bit.ly/cqrr0i
Then you can turn to http://bit.ly/cjdZTB where Jesus says that he came to fulfill the Law, not to create a new one.
Next, go to 1 Cor 6:9 http://bit.ly/e8q2YA where the Apostle Paul says that the homosexual offender shall not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.
Then finish the circuit back at Leviticus 19:17-18 http://bit.ly/h9vB1u where it says that we should not hate a brother in our heart, but correct them so that we don’t share in their sin. The next verse restates the love theme just to hammer home the point.
Are there people who hate people because they’re gay? Sure. I’ll readily admit there are people who hate the sinners as well as the sin. Just don’t confuse vociferous rejection of their lifestyle and hatred of them. Those are two very different things!
Don’t think God approves of their sin, either. A Perfect God cannot allow this abomination of His Law into His perfect Heaven. If He allows unrepentant sinners into Heaven, God sending Christ to His death on the cross for the forgiveness of believers was entirely pointless and frankly, cruel.
That‘s not the God that’s written about everywhere else in the bible.

The ancient Israelites made a contract (that’s what a covenant is) with God – they’d worship him in exchange for Abraham having more descendants than the grains of sand on a beach, etc. Therefore a male Jew that doesn’t make babies is an oathbreaker with God, which is about as serious a crime as you can get. Lesbians weren‘t an issue because presumably they’ll get married and have kids anyway, because their husbands won’t let them get away with not having sex with them. Maimonides writing in the Middle Ages recommended that Jewish men discipline their wives that had tendencies that way, and keep them away from other like-minded women.

Posted on February 2, 2011 at 1:57pmMore hard hitting and vital news from The Blaze! Clearly this site is living up to its mission to report what other news sources leave out! Without The Blaze, how would we know about the dating habits of two high schoolers in a small Minnesota town?!
Point of comparison: Half of the Blaze’s articles have been warning about the kind of intolerant theocracy that the Muslim Brotherhood would set up if they were to gain power in Egypt. And then there is this article, which seems tailor made to invite you goofy Blazers to condemn a few High School girls for being homosexuals (it would be naive to think that the editors of The Blaze would be totally unaware of the kind of responses they would get on these boards).

First, thank you for serving our country. My daughter is in JRROTC, and wants to serve her country after high school, and I am a very proud father.
But, wow, way to hold your own. I hope all of our soldiers fight as hard as you do. On and off the battlefield.
As a libertarian, I’m sick of both the left and the right trying to shove their beliefs down my throat. I think that the right is generally correct on fiscal issues, such as wealth confiscation, and the right to bear arms (or better put, the right to our own labor). But I think the left is generally correct on social issues, such as being allowed to be homosexual, and use drugs (or, better put, the right to govern our own lives).
The only major dispute I have with the left on social issues is abortion. Nobody should have the right to kill an innocent child because they don’t want it. That’s the most repugnant thing our nation allows.

Posted on February 2, 2011 at 10:28pmFirst, of all I think that children are being manipulated into growing up faster than really they should. Second, I do not believe that homosexuality is some kind of birth defect. If it were a defect explain how some homosexuals have changed to heterosexual later in life. Explain how a man or woman who have been heterosexual all their lives suddenly turn homosexual. I personally believe that it is a CHOICE. And because I believe this, I also believe that these two girls will some day regret these choices.
But- while I can accept people making their own choices in life, I can not accept being forced into accepting a lifestyle choice that goes against my personal beliefs as a Christian. I am very tired of Hollywood forcing this into every aspect of entertainment that they can. They do not care that some people literally want to hurl when they see two women or two men making out. I believe this is a natural response to homosexuality.
Finally- for the uber-left it does not matter if watching gays make out, makes a viewer cringe. I guess their thought process is they do not care if they offend traditional folks. Their goal is to force acceptance by desensitizing the opposition- if we are made to watch it over and over again we’ll eventually accept it? That said- if the gay want to be gay- be gay. But don’t advertise it. I do not advertise that I am heterosexual! (get the point?) If the gay want to make a commitment to one person (a life partner) fine- but don’t ask to be married. Marriage is an institution established by God. Do not insult my faith by trying to force laws to include a homosexual union as a marriage. And Hollywood- be respectful of EVERY movie-goer. If there is even a hint of homosexuality in a flick- ADVERTISE it! I have a right not to see it.

Posted on February 2, 2011 at 11:04pmJust a couple of comments:
1. “Students voted onto the royalty court traditionally enter the assembly in boy-girl pairs. After Lindstrom and Shelton, both 18, were elected, school officials last week announced a change in procedure: court members would walk in individually or accompanied by a parent or favorite teacher. School officials said they merely wanted to prevent the two from being teased. But on Friday, two human rights groups sued on their behalf.”
Okay, so according to the article, this wasn’t an issue until the SCHOOL OFFICIALS made it into an issue. If the school officials had just left everything alone, the two girls would have walked into the event hand in hand and it would have been a non-starter. This situation seems to me to be very similar to the argument over reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Two minutes and it would have been all over.
2. “Champlin Park is part of the Anoka-Hennepin school district, Minnesota’s largest, which has been in the spotlight in the past year for its handling of issues involving gay and lesbian students.
It has been in the crossfire for its policy of “neutrality” in classroom discussions of homosexuality. It was reached in 2009 as a way to balance the demands of liberal and conservative families, but neither side has been completely happy with it. The issues flared again last year after a gay student, Justin Aaberg, killed himself. His mother has said she heard too late from Justin’s friends that he had been harassed. Aaberg was one of six students who committed suicide in the district since the beginning of the 2009-10 school year, and advocacy groups have linked some of the other deaths to the bullying of gay students.”
Okay, obviously, this has been an issue in the past, and the school decided on a “neutrality” position. Well, if the students are to really decided FOR THEMSELVES what their sexual orientation should be, isn’t it right that the school remain neutral? The public schools should be serving all the families in the district, not just the pro-gay or anti-gay ones by endorsing or promoting one lifestyle over another.
However, since there have been a number of suicides by students, ADVOCACY GROUPS have linked these deaths to the bullying of gay students.
So, it seems to me that the school administration and the advocacy groups who stirred this pot up, not the conservative families. The decision was made by the administration to prevent harassment, but ended up in a lawsuit by the ADVOCACY GROUPS. Once again, it wasn’t the conservative groups that sued the school, but the pro-gay groups. The schools do have an obligation to protect the students that attend them, and the administration made a pro-active decision (right, wrong or otherwise) to head off something they believed to be basis for harassment. Had they not done this and someone had harassed the two girls, the school would have been sued for not anticipating the harassment.
You can’t have it both ways.
