Mr. Cummings was so cool!

He’d told us on Wednesday that there would probably be letters in the Sentinel for the next several days about the one submitted by Revolted. He asked us to read those letters before we came to his class if we possibly could.

He was right. There were a couple of letters on Thursday and a bunch on Friday. In class both days he told us to analyze the rhetoric and the logic of one or more of the letters. He said it didn’t matter what we believed. He just wanted us to look carefully at how the writer had attempted to sway our opinion.

You know what? Just about everybody got it that the letters supporting Revolted were mostly emotional. The calm, reasonable letters were written by the people who opposed what he had said. That didn’t change everybody’s mind. There were still a few kids in that class who insisted homosexuality was either a perversion or against God’s law or both. But I think even they saw that the best letters in the Sentinel were from readers who counseled calm and tolerance. Mr. Cummings suggested that the anti-gay students might want to write their own letters, but he urged them to use what they were learning about logic and rhetoric and write the most persuasive letters they could, not the most inflammatory.

Of course, all of that was the major topic of discussion around Stafford High for the rest of the week. The principal got on the PA system and reminded us that a part of our school code was tolerance and mutual respect, and that derogatory remarks or actions would not be tolerated. Nobody said anything to us, but Louis and I got some mean looks.

Our parents were still worried, though, and on Friday both sets of them urged us to stay home. They didn’t exactly forbid us to go anywhere, but they really wanted us to be at Louis’ place or mine. We asked if Louis could spend the night with me. I think everyone was happy with the idea.

We’d chosen my place because we thought my room in the basement was more private than Louis’ room on the second floor of the Lefevre house. He had dinner with his folks and then came over about seven P.M.

We played an x-box game for a while, but that got old.

He reached in his backpack and pulled out a digital camera.

“Judd, man, you know for a long time I’ve wanted to do some studies of you. Think tonight might be the night?”

I looked him straight in the eye. “You perv. By studies you mean you want to get me nekkid and take pictures of me, right?”

“Babe, you’ve got a gorgeous body. I’m not looking to take porn shots of you. If you don’t want me to, I won’t even get your l’il ole pecker in them.”

I fell for it. “Whadda you mean, l’il ole pecker? My dick’s as big as yours. Well, almost.”

“Does that mean you’ll let
