The question is, would that school be consistent and suspend someone that came in with a t-shirt that says 'Barbie is a heterosexual'. I think they would have. Grammar schools have to walk a tightrope when it comes to sex in general, regardless of orientation. That t-shirt was not age-appropriate school clothes. Schools are run by prudes, but this is a safer situation than if the schools were tilted in the other direction.
At the last school I worked at, a girl (7th or 8th grade) was offended because the teacher rejected her choice of flags for a report. The flag was supposed to be a flag of a nation, and the girl chose the gay pride rainbow flag. Ugh.
