FL Principal Went on Gay Witch Hunt Says Judge.
Of course given that it’s Florida I’m not the least bit surprised. That’s the state that gave us a proposed “marriage protection” law that would not only harm same sex couples but unmarried opposite sex domestic partners, particularly retirees and Jim Naugle, the mayor who wanted to install special public toilets that had time-locks that opened after a predetermined amount of time so gay men would stop having sex in them. The fact that his own police told him that there was no problem with gay men having sex in public restrooms didn’t stop Naugle’s campaign for the toilet stalls, which cost $250,000 apiece.

Now we come to Ponce de Leon high school, which I wrote about previously. This is the school the ACLU had to sue because the school was claiming LGBT students were part of a “secret illegal organization” and harassing students who had any form of gay pride clothing or symbols displayed on their property. The Judge has spoken and ruled that principal David Davis led a “relentless crusade” against homosexuality at the school.
…..
During the two-day trial in May, Davis testified that he believed clothing, buttons or stickers featuring rainbows would make students automatically picture gay people having sex.
…..
Davis has serious issues and has obviously been hanging out too long with the likes of Peter LaBarbera. I don’t think of straight people having sex every time I see a teenage girl with ” I love Joey” written on her notebook or a woman with an engagement ring on. But then I’m not perpetually obsessed with what other people are doing in their bedrooms like certain factions are so…
He went on to admit that while censoring rainbows and gay pride messages, he allowed students to wear other symbols many find controversial, such as the Confederate flag.
Of course he did. Because something that says “I’m happy with who I am” is evil while a symbol of racism and oppression of black people is perfectly acceptable. If you’re someone who is unacquainted with rational thought.
The written ruling was released two months after student Heather Gillman and the American Civil Liberties Union won a free-speech lawsuit that cost the school district $325,000.
Davis has since been replaced as principal.
At least something good has come of that fiasco. Now if they could do something about the rest of the bigoted homophobes in the state things might begin to improve for LGBT citizens of Florida.
