np: that's silly. plenty of things that really happened never go in a disciplinary record. pretty much every act of bullying i ever witnessed in high school never even caught an adult's attention. plenty of other stuff was swept under the rug. when multiple people, who are friends of the accused, come up with the same story... it's likely the real deal.

The best possible spin Romney could put on it at his age would be to admit he did it and say it was something he regretted forever, and it made him change his life and treat people better, especially gay people. But no. He's actually denying it. He says he doesn't remember. So we're left to conclude that people never really change. [ Reply | More ]

Romney better be careful- Every sin will lead to eternal condemnation (Romans 6:23). All sin, no matter how “small,” is against an infinite and eternal God, and is therefore worthy of an infinite and eternal penalty. And lying about the incident which he is doing now is a sin. If he argues against homosexuality because it's a sin he will have argue against liars too. [ Reply | More ]

I think this may backfire because ultimately the country may not be ready to address homophobia the way it addressed racial issues- not to mention that Obama has been shown to be a serious vaccillator (sp?) on what is becoming a big issue due to his pronouncement.
