CT high school play that includes gay kiss creates furor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Imagine a world where heterosexuals are the minority and homosexuals are the majority. Actually,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there is no need to imagine. Someone else has already conjured up this vision and committed it to paper and sheet music,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in the musical Zanna, Don't.
The 2002 play, the book for which was written by Tim Acito,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with additional lyrics and material by Alexander Dinelaris, takes place in a fictional high school. The Knox Foundation and the Samuel Roskin Trust at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving gave sponsorship money. Students from area high schools and Trinity College are the actors.
In one scene in the play two males of the species exchange a brief kiss. The scene was obviously meant to raise the consciousness of audience members. But when the play had its debut at Hartford High last week,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the scene instead raised the blood pressure of some in attendance.
a piercing clamor rang through the auditorium. There were screams and loud voices and a bit of feigned or real disgust. Dozens of students, mostly male and a few in their Owls football jerseys, hurried out of their rows and walked out. A few jumped over seats to leave.
Before the day was out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one parent had stormed into the main office with a Bible,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], pointing out portions that condemn homosexuality as a sin. Others took their teenage children out of school early.
According to the Courant David Chambers, principal of the school's nursing academy, had informed his students ahead of time there might be same-sex affection in the play. Some had asked to be excused,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Chambers had considered-but then rejected-the idea of sending home an opt-out letter.
Chambers is said to have hoped the play would help his students develop a sense of empathy toward gays and lesbians,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or at least exposure to "that which makes them uncomfortable."
"Our kids are not there yet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he is quoted as saying.
But some evidently are. Oneida Fernandez,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a 17-year-old law and government student,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is quoted as saying, "To me, people are people. We're human beings.… I don't discriminate."
Another, Dineily Vargas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], told a reporter:
I think it opened a lot of people's eyes.… This school never really had anything like this happen. I'm still happy. Chief among them is where a school's responsibilities to its students and to the community at large begin and end. There are also see clear-cut First Amendment issues here,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Anyone with answers is welcome to weigh in below,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
