I hate when people mistake points I make about other states' or groups points of view or attitudes with my own attitudes.

My point is that you/we aren't going to sell common core at all nation wide if it's going to address abortion, sexual preference, etc.

My point is NOT whether or not said terms are accepted or should be accepted, or even if common core is worth a crap.

Unless you are gay, you don't get to tell me what is and isn't homophobic. yardwork Jul 2012 #23

Since Yardwork is gay, her "reality" is what is authentic obamanut2012 Jul 2012 #24

When a person says 'sexual preference' I count that person as a bigot. When they are told it is Bluenorthwest Jul 2012 #26
