Longmont valedictorian silenced over speech disclosing he was gay
#49
Right now one of the biggest issues in the national spotlight is equal rights for homosexuals. To act like this issue is not relevant is like sticking your head in the sand. If his issues with his own homosexuality have shaped his high school experience then he should be allowed to discuss it in his valedictorian speech. And I am not talking about sexual experiences or relationships. I mean his struggle with being in the closet and dealing with prejudices. That is what Valedictorians do in their speeches.

But if he was just wanting to use to occasion to "come out" it may not have been appropriate.
