via mombian, a new jersey high school gay couple’s photo was blacked out of their high school year book because newark school officials decided it was inappropriate. of course, kissing heterosexual couple’s photos were not “blacked out”. and you thought new jersey was progressive.
i have to wonder if the picture would still have been blacked out had the couple not been people of color. i haven’t seen the other pictures of heterosexual couples kissing, so i could be mistaken.
Who said New Jersey is progressive?? certainly no one that lives here

Well, it may have been blacked out (no pun there) of the yearbook, but I saw it on the internet. More people can see it online than in a high school

At least NJ is more progressive than Texas!! You can’t say that one of the handful of states that allows civil unions is too far off the mark.
