G'day Everyone.
I hate to sound like a tabloid here. But most of the news is coming right out of the Syracuse, NY area.
A reader found a news article of a diligent reporter who wrote a very detailed report about the incident involving Micah Brown. Here is the latest, yet gross, detailed reporting:

The case is on. All of his friends are praying for him.
Meanwhile, another reader has just alerted me that Archie Comic books could take a readership hit soon among their fan base. As it was last said, there was controversial discussions of WHO Archie Andrews (his proper and full name in the comic books), would marry? Betty Cooper or Veronica Lodge? Personally, I like him being married to Betty Cooper who's more down to earth. Veronica Lodge ought to end up with Reggie Mantle.
Anyhow, it seems the Archie Comic Books series are now going to be drawing in a new GAY character! Link: http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/books/04/23/archie.gay/index.html?hpt=Sbin
How will that be with the mostly straight readership crowd? Will more comic book collectors start dumping their comic books on to the bidding market out there? It's possible that they will.
But it seems that the Archie series are doing a reflection on the changing demographic make ups in the high school world today. Yes, they are GLBT students among the American straight high school attendance crowd. At their young lives, they do have partners as well. I've heard that gay high school students want to bring their partners to the proms, but school districts and the student bodies have balked in the recent years.
Most of the schools have responded with cancelling their proms and heading to the courts to battle it out. As more and more students are gay in their lives as their sexuality choices, schools and parents fight to retain the straight image of their school climate. That may be their losing battle ever now.
Eventually, judges will be enforcing the laws that schools must be flexible and accept of what they have now among their students. Rules will have to be changed. Perceptions changed.
Will the future be any better for the GLBT High School students? Only time will tell.
Semper FI.
