The family of a gay teenager shot dead at school in the US are suing education officials for letting him wear make-up and feminine clothes which they say motivated his killer.
The parents and brother of 15-year-old Larry King, from Oxnard in California are seeking damages because the school failed to enforce the school dress code.
On the other hand they probably would have sued if they had enforced the dress code! Clearly as parents they have no responsibility for how their son dresses.

Kernow whle I accept this is tragic I don't see how ones sexuality can be seperated from one's personality. If a young boy dresses as a girl his whole way of thinking and behaving will be different. I happen to think this is being encouraged for certain ends by the elites. It is taught in schools, advertised on the front of newspapers and magazines and promoted on broadcast media, televisiojn and film.
It is most noticable in our young people who are becoming confused and not sure of their identities. You see young people walking through the streets arm inarm looking defiant as if they aremaking a brave statewment to a prejudiced world. In fact it is now conventional. It shows how easy it is for the elites to manipiulate the emotions of our young people.
A few weeks ago one young woman told a friend of mine if she was not getting married to a man she would want to marry her. Last week I had a drink with an elderly gay who admitted that a gay life is very lonely and unhappy when they get older. it is not tolerance or moral superiority to encourage homosexuality but cruelty.

There’s three guilty parties here, each guilty of a different thing.
The school is guilty of not applying its dress code rigorously and universally. Faced with the problem they were they should have expelled the boy for not following their set down code, a relatively trivial matter.
The boy who was shot is guilty of not following the school dress code and should have been required to do so, or be expelled. A relatively trivial matter.
The murderer is the guilty party of a hate crime. He should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
Obviously there is a need emerging for schools to add a dress code for GAY young people.

There is definitely a need for schools to explain to children how the elites are changing their behaviour for greater profit for corporations when boys are all buying make up etc That is why perfume for men is being promoted.

Here's more from the Associated Press report on the case:
QUOTE
"The family's claim, filed last week in Ventura County Superior Court, said administrators and teachers failed to enforce the school's dress code when King wore feminine clothing and makeup to school.
His parents, Dawn and Gregory King, said faculty members knew their son had "unique vulnerabilities" and was subject to abuse because of his sexual orientation.
King was a ward of the court and living at a shelter for abused, neglected and emotionally troubled children at the time of the shooting".
UNQUOTE
You could also argue that the school was partly to blame for not making sure there were no guns on the premises. It's a sad state of affairs when children can bring knives, drugs and guns into school; I fear it is only a matter of time, the way things are going, before someone is shot dead in a secondary school over here. Should schools which have problem pupils be required to have entry controlled by metal detectors and drugs snifffer dogs, perhaps?
The other point about this tragic story, with the added background of the AP report, is the clearly dysfunctional family that this sad young boy came from.
Was he 'gay'? Probably not, just going through a particularly troubled teenage phase - and here I agree with those who say the school should have enforced the rules on school dress.
Is anyone 'gay', come to that? - given that there are many examples of so-called 'gay' people who have desperately wanted to give up their 'gay lifestyle' and have successfully been able to do so, sometimes ending up happily married with children, having received effective counselling and emotional support.
Becoming 'gay' is frequently associated with dysfunctionality within the family, lack of a good male role model being especially common

Not the case with the two families I know quite well who have a Gay Son each amongst other normal children. Both showed feminine tendencies from an early age! Both preferred to play with girls when they were children.

True, unless they had no idea how he was dressing - ie. he was sneaking make-up etc into school or getting it from someone else. The parents might have had no idea.

I do agree with kernow. I think there are those who are born like it and the ones I had in mind who are "designer gays" - doing it because it is fashionable. If you talk to those who "are on the scene" they will tell you of "perverts" who go to gay bars who are probably married and not exclusively attracted to their own sex.
