Lesbian couple irks O'Reilly

Two gay high school seniors in Illinois who were named "cutest couple" by their peers in the upcoming school yearbook have come under fire from Bill O'Reilly. The "Factor" master criticized the school’s students on his Nov. 7 show, accusing them of voting for the couple to “cause trouble.”
In response, administrators created a "cute couple'' page in the yearbook that will include the gay couple, plus five heterosexual couples who received the most runner-up votes.
That's a terrible way to treat the girls who were chosen in the first place. They should have been given what they were originally supposed to get -- a page of their own. Shame on the school for caving into O'Reilly.
All because of a stupid TV show. How sad.

Read reports in Windy City Times and the Chicago Sun-Times.
