• ‘Bigoted, Religious [Zealots]‘: High School Senior Allegedly Expelled, Charged With Felonies Over Gay Relationship With ‘Consenting’ Fellow Student

  The LAW and precedent in Florida is clear–this falls under close age exception. If the parents want to argue that the sexual aspect of the relationship began when the younger girl was far too young for the exception, the burden of proof is theirs.

  Devon I did not argue that it was about orientation–according to the law in the State of Florida, there is a close age exception–an 18 year old and a person of 16 or 17 can be engaged in a consensual relationship. Male OR female. There is no “statutory” here.

  Law says it can be considered consensual…even with a male and female. The parents of the younger girl are overreacting and being unnecessarily vindictive.

  I do believe she meant “zealots.”

  13? The article says the other girl was 17 and is an exception to the age of consent law in FL.

  This is absurd. There is absolutely no reason for the law to target that young lady–Florida makes a close age exception to the age of consent. (By law, the exception permits a person 23 years of age or younger to engage in legal sexual activity with a minor aged 16 or 17.) What happens between these girls is not a criminal matter–this is a waste of police time and a dreadfully abusive move on the part of the parents of the younger girl. If this were an older male and a young girl, my opinion would be no different–this is a matter to be handled by parents, not by police. Shame.

• The Most Transparent Administration Ever: This Redacted Freedom of Information Request Is Unbelievable

  Maybe we should all make that FOIA request just to see them waste their black ink cartridges ;)

  This is a myth that bottled water is just tap water with a label. It usually goes through a filtration process. For instance, Aquafina is reverse-osmosis filtered, removing most of the fluoride and many other compounds that some of us can’t consume without dire health consequences.

• Report: Boy Scouts Set to Abolish Gay Ban

  Simply put, as soon as BSA started accepting boys from many faiths, it lost any position from which it could define “morally straight”. You cannot teach a boy that his church/synagogue/temple/mosque should be his moral rudder and on the other hand tell him that on some matters his church is wrong. If a boy’s church should accept homosexuality as natural human variation and even ordains gay people, who is BSA to suggest that the boy’s church is morally wrong? BSA itself is not a church and rank advancement is not a sacrament.
