and is the new Stranger, looking at all the kinks out there?

But if this is true: I knew Catholic school teachers didn't get paid much, but I never suspected the principals would have to turn tricks to make ends meet.

The cross-dressing angle isn't the important angle here. It's the head-of-a-religious-school angle that's interesting. And that assistant head of the school looks a little suspect, too. Check out the website.

Although, actually, most cross-dressers aren't bisexual or gay, but hetero.

He _is_ the principal of a Catholic school. I'd say the odds on him pushing a right-wing agenda are reasonably high. Not 100%, but round about 75-ish would be my guess.

I don't care who blows the president. I don't care which legislator dresses pretty and solicits prostitutes. I don't care which national figure seeks semi-public oral sex.

Hypocrisy is interesting only to teenagers and scolds.

Thank goodness most of the posters here understand.

I agree, we shouldn't rush to judge someone who is not on the record opposing gay rights. Most of us have been associated with religion sometime in our past, very often leading a dual life. What makes it wrong is being actively engaged in anti-gay politics, not just passively part of an organization that is anti-gay like the Catholics.

I think so

This guy looks to me like a total winner in life. Seems he likes the under belly of every urban enviro.

Yes, drag him to Seattle. I want him in costume - for a major photo shoot ... for starters.

Here's the good principal's quote from the High School's website. I think it explains a lot:

----------------------------------

"We believe that the formative years are a critically important time for young people to ...to discover and appreciate their own talents... to discover that each one of us was created by God for a unique purpose. At Bethlehem High School, we provide opportunities for this revelation, not only through traditional classroom experiences... Bethlehem High School truly is a place where young people can discover their full potential.

Thanks,
Dr. Paul A. Schum, Principal

SEE! He was just role-modeling what it's like to discover one's talents and explore one's true potential!

Baloney. If not fucking up gay kids is a priority for you, find another job.

The Catholic church's teaching to gay kids that being gay is "intrinsically disordered" is very anti-gay and damaging to gay people when they are most vulnerable, and indoctrinates straight kids with homophobia too.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, many religions, including Christianity and the Catholic church in particular, have not exactly had the most sex-positive teaching traditions. There was a poll recently saying that many younger people are turned off by much of today's Christianity's crazy anti-gay bigotry.

The Catholic dioceses in Iowa just called for an anti-gay marriage state constitutional amendment.

And I'm sure the Cheneys are very supportive of Mary, Heather, and child.

It's no less embarassing--but still defensible.

Not that I have anything against drag queens that, for a little extra spending money, allowed the panty chasers to blow 'em in bathrooms at the Brass Connection.

But I'm waaaaaaay to sexually repressed, thank God, for that kind of action. Actually, I wouldn't say repressed, since it's not like I wanted to and couldn't. I just didn't want to.
