I’ve stood around too long’

[flicka]

I know a gay guy who doesn't wear pink. My husband, a very hetero executive, has a pink-ish dress shirt. Oh well.

A bad Poe is still a Poe.

Wrong Happy! It is a known fact that Pink is associated with femininity or females. When a baby is born they are either wrapped in a blue blanket for boys, or a Pink blanket for girls. Don't even think you are getting away with that cheesy argument.

The homosexuals wear what color of a Triangle? Opps! That would be Pink! The militant homosexual group are called the what Angels? Pink! The Pink Angels!

So don't try and pull this lame argument that Pink is not associated with homosexuality.

I bet these kids' dads are ashamed of them.

Wow you take your color seriously don't you?
The pink polo shirts were popular amongst a lot of straight teenage boys. Nothing to do with being gay.

 

[naotmaa]

So the homosexuals don't wear Pink Triangles? There is no such group called the Pink Angels? These are only in peoples minds. Right.

I can assure you their dads are ashamed of them, if they have dads. They were probably raised by their moms, and only had women around to be roll models.

Just another sad day in American history.

You're jumping to conclusions. Its just a color. You have to agree that any kid who would bully someone over the color of their shirt has major issues.

Naotmaa, have you noticed your symbols underneath your name? What color is the symbol that says female under your name??? What is it???

Yeah so? It's just a color. If a girl wears blue does that mean she is being mascuine?

 

[naotmaa]

Also something very interesting:In 1918 the Ladies Home Journal wrote: “There has been a great diversity of opinion on the subject, but the generally accepted rule is pink for the boy and blue for the girl. The reason is that pink being a more decided and stronger color is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl.” The Sunday Sentinel in 1914 told American mothers: “If you like the color note on the little one’s garments, use pink for the boy and blue for the girl, if you are a follower of convention.”

Look Naot, this is what is happening here. Some kid wears a girl color to school. He has made a cultural fuax pax. Some bigger/older kids get up in his grill and shame and mock him. Then some other kids buy and fly a whole bunch of girl colors.

1. ) It sound like the youngster was clueless.

2. ) It sounds like the kids who are described as bullies, go over board in making their point. They should have just pulled the kid aside and told him nicely that he shouldn't wear pink, it is a girls color and might get him in trouble. But no, they go over the top and yell at him and call him a homo...ect..

3. ) Two other older kids see this and want to somehow stand up to the 'bullies'. So they go out and buy a bunch of Pink shirts and wear them and hand them out. Of course the left wing media eats this up and now we have a national story.

The tough kids make a mistake on how to handle the clueless kid. The weak kids make a mistake by rallying around a color that is traditionally female and associated with homosexuality. There is a lot going wrong here.

The worst of all is young men rallying around the Pink flag of femininity/homosexuality. This would have never happened when I was growing up. These kids would got the smack laid down upon them by all the young men in the school. Now they get praised for their actions. Sick!

Women can wear anything they want. Men do not wear Pink unless they are supporting breast cancer awareness. Pink is a girls color.

Like I said the pink polo shirts are very popular amongst the male teens. So they were just following the mainstream. Again, if a girl wears a blue color i she being masculine?

Some bigger/older kids get up in his grill and shame and mock him. Then some other kids buy and fly a whole bunch of girl colors.

I know you're probably not a teenager so I'll just give ya the low down.
The pink polo shirts for boys are popular. There is no gender bending, rebelious, whatever going on. He just wore a pink polo shirt and some idiots who care waay too much about color decided to beat up on him. Most kids will understand how ridiculous that is and decided to buy tshirts in support. There ya go.
Good for the kids who bought them.

1. ) It sound like the youngster was clueless.

How so?

2. ) It sounds like the kids who are described as bullies, go over board in making their point.

But no, they go over the top and yell at him and call him a homo...ect..

Its a popular shirt. Most people know this. Most kids can wear these shirts without any trouble because right now there cool. These kids weren't trying to make a point. They have obviously have major issues and decide to take it out on others.

I can't even tell you how silly you sound when you write "girl color". It kinda reminds of kindergarten actually.

YOu have to understand, the kid was not clueless. Its not like he walked in a banana costume thinking he would be cool He wore a shirt that was considered cool and got beat up for it. I'm afraid you don't seem to know the fashion among teens these days.

The worst of all is young men rallying around the Pink flag of femininity/homosexuality. This would have never happened when I was growing up. These kids would got the smack laid down upon them by all the young men in the school. Now they get praised for their actions. Sick!

These kids are not doing this to support homosexuality or anything. Just proving how ridiculous it is to get worked up over a color.

Women can wear anything they want. Men do not wear Pink unless they are supporting breast cancer awareness. Pink is a girls color.

Why?

I find this post so hilarious.

People should be free to express themselves however they want too, this is a stance against the bullies who are quite evidently testosterone fuelled idiots who think that a colour makes a guy femenine or gay. Props to the guys who stood up against them who are evidently comfortable enough in their hetrosexuality to not give a crap what the bullies in question think.

Men and Women in an ideal world should be able to wear whatever the hell they want without anyone batting an eyelid. Not going to happen of course as theres too many people out there who care about appearences, but stories like this one are great news.

It makes me want to puke!

What a tragedy. Our kids stooping to things like this to try to look like rebels?

I know all you left of center think this is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but you are wrong.

This just makes our country weak and pathetic. This is just absolutely pathetic. I am glad my uncle Mikey and my dad are not alive to see something like this. My uncle was killing japanese in WWII and my dad was in during Korea. Me and all my bothers served in the U. S. Army and all I can think of is how weak we have become. Absolutely pathetic.

Who goes out and buys pink (knowing that it represents homosexuality) shirts and hands them out? Who is you father? Who raised you? How can a young American male do something like this??? Where is the disconnect?

This story almost just gave me a stroke!!! My wife has just told me to calm down.

I am getting nauseated just thinking about this.

This is still the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

If someone is picking on you, you tell them to knock it off. If they get violent you punch them square in the face! This does two things; one it will probably stop the violence right there; two, it probably stop further violence from the bully. He will know you are not a soft target anymore, and he will leave you alone and find another target!

Buy a pink t-shirt? How absolutely pathetic.

Yeah, punch someone in the face while 9 of his friends are surrounding you. Unless you recently channeled Rambo, you are going to end up in a hospital if lucky.

 

[TemperateSeaIsland]

I can't believe that adults actually make the pink = girly/gay association, it's a colour.. it looks good with black.

I've been unsure for a while now, but finally I'm absolutely certain that you're a Poe. There's no way anyone could post that and actually be serious.

 

[kuyura]

God save America if people like him and his family are defending the country.

I guess it is the generation gap though.

My grandpa is exactly the same. Close minded, homophobic. In his day, if a male was left handed, he was gay. How can people so easily follow idiotic ideas?

Why does it even matter if someone is gay? Because it is a sin in the bible?

What about murder. Killing Japanese in WW2. Why does he not "have a stroke" about that?

They don't like to think. The idea of critical analysis is something that makes them uncomfortable. They've learned to avoid it.

Instead, they knee-jerk. It's easier, more fun and gets more attention. It doesn't matter that it's also intellectually dishonest, selfish and counter-productive. It doesn't make them uncomfortable, and that is what counts.

Sometimes I wish I could give out negative reputation.

 

[moonkitty]

Best way to handle this is to opt out of public schools. Why put up with any of this?

I went to 3 different private schools; all of them had much worse bullies than any of the public schools I ever attended. Sometimes it seems that the exclusiveness of religion and private schools tends to feed into the bully mentality; the whole if you are not with us your against us attitude.

You know, I’ve seen better trolling in a kindergarten class. You not even funny anymore.

I'll wear whatever color I want. I have a pink shirt and I happen to like it very much. Frankly I am secure enough in my manhood to be able to wear pink and not care. This assigning of colors to genders in absurd.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...

There are girls and there are boys. If you are a boy and you do something that associates you with the feminine gender you will have trouble.

I saw a kid the other day with eyeliner on. He had tore up clothes rasty hair and eyeliner on. I know that fashion has gone down hill and all, but there are still things in this society that will get you rolled like a drunk.

I also know that most of you left of center want to celebrate <--- anything that will destroy genders in this country. You want your girls looking like and acting like boys, and so too the boys like the girls.

You fail to realize that GOD does not want boys to look like girls, and girls to look like boys.

[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. --Deuteronomy 22

I am right, you are wrong.

Lesson for today:

Girls need to look like girls.

Boys need to look like boys.

QUIT trying to confuse the genders!!! It is evil, so stop it!!!

Once again people, this is not rocket science.
