Reply #5: I don't agree that the school doesn't have the right

[ruggerson]

to discuss her sexuality with her parents.

Homosexuality and heterosexuality must be on an equal footing. If gays and lesbians want full civil rights (which we do), then we must expect full responsibilities and EQUAL treatment. The school would not have hesitated to discuss the fact of a girl kissing her BOYFRIEND. And there would have been no lawsuit. Hence, there should not be a lawsuit about this. Homosexuality is not some awful secret which, if disclosed, harms anyone. Letting this girl sue for disclosing her "secret" merely reinforces the fallacious stereotype of homosexuality as a deep, dark, bad thing which must be hidden. Well it isn't. It is a mundane fact of life. To say that she can sue for the school outing her, means there is something wrong with being gay, which there isn't.

She SHOULD be able to sue for the discrimination aspect of this.
If the school routinely let straight kids kiss in the hall, then she should be allowed to kiss her girlfriend.
