Recently the other day I came across a news item that deeply frustrated me and made me extremely angry. It seems two lesbian students, both 14 years old were kicked off a Portland Ore. public city TriMet bus simply for a public display of loving affection for each other.
Miaka Rich and Jocelyn O'Neal admitted they were kissing each other in a genuine display of the love they felt for each other, while on the No, 12 bus traveling on Barbur Boulevard at approximately 5 pm on June 8, as they were heading to The Sexual Minority Youth Recreation Center
Courageous Teen Lesbians Miaka Rich and Jocelyn O'Neal
According to the couple that a female passenger complained to the bus driver about their affection at which point the bus driver said to "knock it off" and also referred to them as "sickos" after that Jocelyn was extremely upset and shaking at which point Miaka gave her a reassuring hug. As if that wasn't enough the idiot bus driver ordered them off the bus, which is in direct violation of TriMet policy to kick off an underage or vulnerable person off the bus. What this moronic bus driver was thinking when he did that I have no idea other than his hatred and homophobia, not to mention he put those innocent girls in harm's way by doing so. In this day and age of sexual predators and kidnappers he put those young girls at grave risk and if something horrible had happened to them that bus driver would have faced criminal conspiracy charges!
The girls said they are used to being picked on, which deeply saddened and angered me, they should not have to suffer from sexual bigotry especially from a god damn moronic bus driver. They said they felt defenseless and intimidated by the bus driver who is an adult. I agree with Miaka's mother who said "she doesn't think the driver would have treated two gay adults or a heterosexual couple in the same manner" Now one of the girls said she is now afraid of taking the No 12 bus in fear of seeing the same bus driver.
I personally find this issue repugnant and disgusting they have every right to display the love and affection they have for each other. Hardly a day goes by that I don't see hetro couples engaging in the same displays of affection without suffering any recriminations for their affections. The major issue here that may go unoticed here is the endangerment of the lives of these two innocent girls the bus driver violated TriMet policy ordering them off the bus, that in my opinion is almost unforgivable, as a mother I am outraged!
Later on the evening news I saw the O’Reilly Factor with Bill O’Reilly and he had one of the mother of one of one of the teen girls and unfortunately the mother was far too conciliatory to him as he literally bashed her daughter on air, had it been me, well lets just say I'd have ripped Mr. O'Reilly a new asshole, as a mother, I would have defended my daughter passionately on this issue. As for that bus driver, well, lets just say he'd be minused a pair of balls for endangering the life of my daughter and slandering her and her partner publically. I was saddened that the mother was so intimidated by Bill O’Reilly that at the end of the interview segment she stated she had no plans to sue. It is my strongest hope that she reconsiders and decides to go through with the lawsuit, we have to fight this sexual hate and bigotry when we are confronted with it, we have nothing less than a moral obligation to do so! I just see this bus driver as a bully and a misogynist who it anti women and homophobic, the real sicko here is the bius driver who endangered the lives of two innocent girls and bullied and slandered them and Mr. Bill O’Reilly is his accomplice in ading and abetting his behavior, now those are the real sickos! On behalf of all Irish, I apologizer for Bill O’Reilly's disgusting behavior on his show dealing with this issue, he is not representive of the Irish especially me. My love and best wishes go out to the two girls and their moms and I wish nothing but the best for them and that they realize that there are decent people that support them. I am interested in your opinions on this issue.
First off, the bus driver would be looking for another job, pereferably one at which he has far less exposure to his fellow humans. This man is a disgusting abuser and those two young girls most certainly did NOT deserve to be publicly harrassed and humiliated. Fortunately for the driver, I was not on that bus, otherwise he'd have been hearing from me too, and I assure you, he does not want that.
Secondly, the intimidation of the girl's mother by O'Reilly is sick and shameful. She has every right (and a distinct moral responsibility) to take up for her daughter. The only time a mother shouldn't support her child is when the child is doing something that could potentially harm themselves or someone else, and in this case, who was harmed? The nosy conservative bitch who complained because her sanctimonious eyes were scalded by the image of two girls loving one another? The bus driver who was so upset by what he deemed 'disgusting' behavior that he left two girls alone on the street?
There were a lot of things about this situation that are wrong and disgusting, and they have nothing to do with those two innocent girls.
