The Loudoun County School Board is considering a new policy governing school plays, part of a continuing wave of reaction to the performance of a student-written piece featuring a gay protagonist at Stone Bridge High School in February.

The play, “Offsides,” about a popular football player struggling to deal with his homosexuality, sparked an angry response from some parents, led by state Del. Richard H. “Dick” Black (R-Loudoun), who said it promoted a “homosexual lifestyle.”

Yes, lets not talk about sexuality except to preach abstinence. Then, when abstinence fails, we can try stoning to death.
