As a man who has dealt with same gender attraction my whole life, often my opposite sex friendships are more relaxed than my guy/guy friendships. I found myself making friends with attractive brothers, not having overtly sexual intentions, but because it was an established pattern. I have since found it important to look past appearance. God showed me that each person is one of His beautiful creations whom He loves and wants to have a relationship with. If I look at people that way it eliminates the tendency towards lust or exploitation. This works regardless of gender attraction. And No its not automatic, I still have to remind myself... Daily.

Suspiciously lacking in this piece is any comment from the parents, or even evidence of parental involvement in this situation. It should never have gotten this far. I do not understand what right the ACLU has regarding these minor aged girls (assumptiojn since the girls ages arent even mentioned). Why has the author of this article given no account (or reason for the lack) of parental view on this matter? And why did MY SPACE allow this type of content? Doesnt the school realize that the publicity of this only serves to perpetuate this behavior?
