Hi Jalid. I'd be interested in knowing why you believe gay communities expressing their pride are not showing respect for your religion? Freedom of expression is quite an important right that I believe gay communities should be allowed to enjoy rega…

Guess what? I met with the person who's going to be your new journalism teacher next year (I think). She seems really nice, and likes the idea of working on this site. Hopefully you'll have a chance to do some cool things next year.
see ya later,
Mark Schulte
