Arkansas school board official makes anti-gay remarks

The Arkansas Department of Education has condemned anti-gay comments made by a local school board member and posted on a social networking site.

Midland School District Vice President Clint McCance wrote on his personal Facebook page that he wanted gay people to commit suicide, according to The Advocate, a newspaper focusing on gay news.


I wish that this man could be zapped into the body of a gay teenager, and have to live with the fear, the uncertainty, the knowledge that so many people hate you for who you love. I just can't understand the virulent hatred that so many people have for anyone who is different in some way.

I am so saddened by and so tired of all the hatred in the world, and honestly? If I was twenty years younger and considering starting my family? There's no way I would bring a child into this.
