Reasonable or not, the humiliation they're going to associate with their sexuality is going to haunt them for a long time.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Very much yes. The school dealt with this in a ridiculously idiotic way.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Some of the people who got the first run of coupons couldn't buy boxes before the coupons expired because stores either weren't carrying them yet, or didn't order enough.
That would be me. I'm a tool who didn't realize that they expired. Truly, my own fault for not reading all the details closely. (Note that I'm NOT blaming the government or broadcasters, etc. I realize full well that my slack-ass-ed-ness is to blame for me having to spend $60 instead of $20.)

Religious schools frequently have rules that students have to abide by the rules of that religion.
Yes, but shouldn't that apply to behaviors, not, I don't know, states of being? Caught kissing on school grounds, okay. Identifying oneself as a lesbian? Ugh. Private school, I know, but still.
And, of course, they'd have been in the same situation in the US military, so not like public institutions are covered in glory.

Oh, wait, duh. I don't need a new TV because we have satellite; if I want to watch HDTV, I'll need a new TV.

Some Jewish schools require that all students be Jewish. (Some require only one Jewish parent, some require the child be Jewish according to Jewish law, and some require two Jewish parents, even though a child of a Jewish mother and a non-Jewish father is Jewish according to Jewish law.) A bunch of Christian colleges require students and faculty to sign a statement of faith.

Frickin' DTV conversion. I keep forgetting about it. I guess I need to buy a new TV, and freecycle the old one.
OK, you know you only need the converter if you have no cable at all? people with rabbit ears and antennas. That's it.

Yeah, no, I figured that out after I actually read the website.
