[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has been bothering me for a few days, so I'm sharing.  I was at the Georgetown Prep-St Albans basketball game last week.  At some point, the Prep fan section started singing "But you say he's just a friend" at the STA section (remember the old Biz Markie song?), clearly reworded to offend the other fans by calling them gay.  I was so, so bummed.  Yes, that kind of thing happened when I was a kid, but I thought we had moved beyond it.  I was going to just say something to the GP coach, but then the STA guys did it right at the end of the game.  Not as bad as coming up with and planning it in the first place, but I wish they'd been able to take the high road.

Sad.  These kids should know better, at the very least know not to behave like that at an event where lots of families from both communities (and local press) show up.[/quote]

How does singing a song mean they are anti-gay? Maybe you are reading too much into it. My son attends STA and we have family friends that are gay that he has known since birth and he is very open minded and would not engage in this. [/quote]
