At a graduation ceremony for River Valley High School in Caledonia, Ohio,  Jim McGuire, former RV graduate and local business owner told students to follow the Bible and to stop being gay.
I also strongly suggest to make sure to choose biblical principles—you know a male with a female and female with a male.”

“Choose a spouse,” he said, adding, “I also strongly suggest to make sure to choose biblical principles—you know a male with a female and female with a male.”

The district has since issued a pathetic statement distancing itself from his words while publishing a transcript of the full speech (as if to say the context makes this all better). The administration said McGuire “was not speaking as an official representative of River Valley Local Schools” and that his speech wasn’t reviewed in advance. But as if to highlight their cowardice here, they didn’t directly mention his name in the statement, nor did they extend their support for LGBTQ students.

A lot of these students are probably LGBTQ+, so hopefully, this man’s speech doesn’t deter anyone from being confident about who they are.
