Renewed Anti-Gay Attacks At California School
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/03/030705calHate.htm

A northern California high school hit by a series of homophobic attacks last year is experiencing a new outbreak.

Last year the attacks were aimed at a lesbian student. Now they have been expanded to include a lesbian teacher at Mill Valley's Tamalpais High School.

Police are investigating "die fag'" messages scrawled on the door of the teacher's classroom and on the car of the 17-year old student.

I hope they fry the little fucker who's doing this

1. What do you want to bet ...
... that when they find the little miscreant who did this he has Jeff Gannon's web sites bookmarked on his computer and his keyboard is sticky with (ahem) ... DNA evidence.

3. Most homophobic assholes are closet cases ...
... at least according to a study by the American Psychiatric Association in which measurements of men's arousal were taken while they were shown photos of naked men and women. Not surprisingly, the men who rated highest in terms of homophobia also showed the highest rate of arousal when viewing photos of naked men.

4. I'm inclined to strongly agree with you, but the study was slightly flawed
The researches admitted that sometimes a "fear response" can create an "arousal" in some people.

The study is very strong evidence, but not a "smoking-gun."

I'd suggest repeating the study, but adjusting for "fear arousal." For example, show them pictures of dogs, kittens, landscapes, gay sex, straight sex, and something scary.

6. My 4th grade teacher used to say...
"The guilty dog barks the loudest." That phrase has stuck with me for many, many years.
