Expect This Confused Teen to be a Poster Boy for the Gay Brownshirt Brigade

Teen sues Christian school for expelling him after he admits to being gay and refuses to seek counseling.

Karen Doering, an attorney with the National Center for Lesbian Rights in Tampa, agrees that the school did nothing illegal.

"Unfortunately, in the state of Florida, discrimination based on sexual orientation is not specifically prohibited by any law," Doering told the paper. "When it comes to public schools, it is clear the Constitution protects youth based on sexual orientation; however, that does not apply to private schools."


She must be referring to the Florida State Constitution (of which I know nothing about) because there is no specific protection afforded to individuals on the basis of sexual orientation in the U.S. Constitution. And no, Lawrence v. Texas did not just make practicing homosexuals into a protected class of persons.
