Syndicated columnist Mubarak Dahir reports on the latest craze in Oklahoma high schools: lesbianism! Despite the state’s reputation as “the buckle of the bible belt,” there is an apparent rash of girls having sex with each other in the bathrooms. Schools in the southeast part of the state are only allowing one girl at a time into the bathrooms because the risk of girl-on-girl action is so high. I don’t know about your high school, but mine was definitely not like this, and I grew up in a fairly progressive part of Maryland! In fact, I was the only queer person I knew in my high school at all. There was absolutely no reference made to anything other than heterosexuality, save for a single rainbow flag posted in the guidance counselors’ office, which wasn’t enough incentive for me to talk to them or anybody else about it. Dahir makes reference to cunnilingus and other acts of debauchery, but I wonder just how serious these girls are actually getting. Is it kissing, or more? (And could somebody please take pictures of the seniors, please? They’re probably 18 years old!)
