Hmmm...the lack of loud denunciations by straight spokesmen, such as Focus on the Family, leads me to believe that they do not condemn relationships between teachers and their students.

Oh, come on. South Park explained this best:

If we allow men to marry men, how could we possibly deny teachers the right to kidnap and molest their students?

If it weren't for all you fags converting the most eligible straight men to your lifestyle, poor Kelsey might have found a sweet guy her own age to fuck. Can she help it if she, too, prefers them young, skinny, and hairless? Stop hoarding all the hot boy-meat for your gay orgies!

@ 4 & 5

For brief moments forget that idiots exist on this planet. Then I read postings like theirs.

Dan, you're jumping at shadows. And -B- needs to take a refresher course in snark.

I can pin it on the gays in two sentences. Ready? Go!

If lesbians weren't corrupting regular women, these women would know their place. Clearly, as a basketball coach, Peterson was influenced by the malicious lesbian lifestyle.

Was she hot? Was this yet another case of a hot young lady teacher falling for and seducing one of her teenage boy students?

Hot for teacher indeed!

Sorry Gomez, she was by no means hot!

I'd do her. She looks like a Jenna Bush party hearty type.

For brief moments forget that humorless illiterates who can't read irony exist on this planet. Then I read postings like yours.

Maybe she was just inspired by that god-awful Miranda July story (but I repeat myself) where the teacher thinks the 13 year old is the physical manifestation of the cosmic ball of energy that used to rape her as a teenager.

I blame Miranda July.

Obviously, if we were protecting the sanctity of marriage (instead of allowing gay people to threaten it by, uh, wanting to do it too), this woman would have been at home making supper for her man. Probably while pregnant. It's only because she's all confused about what a real relationship is that she got involved with this boy. The real tragedy is that this boy should have been getting ready to marry and impregnate someone his own age. This is what happens when you let women work and vote, and you let gay people run around like normal people. Our entire society collapses.

True, at 13, I was all set to marry and impregnate someone my own age, just like Gandhi. But I didn't start earning a living for almost another decade.

The real issue is the illegal immigrant. They're stealing our precious white women! If only gays weren't legitimizing illegal immigration with their hot Latin boy tastes. And I'm sure that Hillary Clinton is the mastermind behind it all.

@13:
Can I point something out? It is REALLY hard to tell when someone is being sarcastic when all you have before is what they've written. The sad truth is that there are people in the world who would say exactly what you said @5. The only difference would be that, unlike you, they'd actually mean it! And don't think for a second that people like that wouldn't show up here just because most of the people here have nothing against gays! Some people just like to cause trouble. For example, I've been in forums for fans of Kingdom Hearts, and people have shown up for the sole purpose of saying that the game sucks, and then insulting the people that like the game.

To see the woman's photo scroll down the page on this blog that's seems pretty much devoted to the reporting of adult women, mostly teachers, getting laid or knocked up by teen students or stepkids..

Regarding Dan's "...advice for Auntie Mame, who was concerned about how her brother is treating her swishy 5-year-old nephew" ("The Girly Boy" 10-25-07):

Dear Dan. Your advice to Auntie Mame was right on.
The Psychiatry Profession is very seriously (and one could say "unethically")lagging and "out-of-touch" on this issue. While "Homosexuality" was removed from the Psychiatric Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) in the 1970s, "Gender Identity Disorder" (GID) remains in the current version of that manual to this day and is inordinatly applied to boys who manifest gender non-conformity. (Such girls are just called "tomboys" and people think its cute). Boys who do not conform to gender stereotypes earn the term "sissy", and that is not regarded by most people as "cute". My daughter can wear her Dad's clothes, and no one thinks anything of it.

Research has shown that almost all of these (GID) boys grow up to be gay, and the fact is that the GID "diagnosis" is still being used to "pathologize" the experience of these proto-gay (google it) boys. It is sobering to think that every gay man was once a gay boy, and most likely to be having a different developmental experience of gender from an early age (Gender is the earliest self-recognized attribution in young children, and developmental assessment tools for 3-year-olds make use today of the question "are you a boy or a girl?" as a measure of cognitive reality orientation).

Psychiatry and Psychology have yet to officially acknowledge and normalize such developmental experiences and are usually at a loss to effectively counsel parents and other caregivers of young children who manifest what is still labeled by ignorant/intolerant and judgemental double-standards as GID. Official Developmental Theory has no way to account for such an alternative developmental path and so remains officially silent and in denial.

The dualistic "sissy-boy/tomboy narrative" has been commented on and progressive researchers have described the issue and related research in peer-reviewed journal articles, but it remains to be seen if this new knowledge will be reflected in the next revision of the DSM, or if the Psyciatric Profession will "bury it's head" in order to avoid controversy by maintaining the popular myth that children do not manifest sexuality during the so-called "latency age" (following a "healthy resolution" of the early-childhood Oedipus Complex which orders young boys to kill their fathers and have sex with their mothers). Traditionally sexist Freudian theory still holds powerful sway in many medical schools of psychiatry.

There is indeed psychological and emotional (and often physical and sexual) abuse of gay children by parents, communities, and professionals from a very early age, and these are the children who learn to internalize that bigotry in the form of self-hatred. These children are eventually over-represented in homeless youth populations and make up THE SINGLE HIGHEST RISK-GROUP for suicide. If such a child is fortunate enough to find one adult who will understand and accept and affirm his own unique experience of human subjectivity, it could very well save that child's life.

If you want to see how bad this can look, rent a French Movie titled "Ma Vie en Rose" (My Life in Pink), which depicts how confounded and ineffective the mental health profession can be in trying to "help" such a young child.
It is sad that such stuff still goes on every day.

@22: nice, but off-topic. Also:

"(following a "healthy resolution" of the early-childhood Oedipus Complex which orders young boys to kill their fathers and have sex with their mothers)"

Attention troll/child psychologist: You are an idiot.

Toby @23: Read the next sentence in his post, moron.

Glad this post ended up here by mistake. Most interesting thing I've read in weeks.
