Bill O’Reilly took time during one of his recent shows to discuss the Illinois lesbian couple voted “cutest couple”<\/a> at their high school.<\/p>\n

O’Reilly believes the students at the school voted for the girls because the student body – as a whole – wanted to play a prank on the teachers and administrators of the school.<\/p>\n

He said, “the kids voted…this couple the cutest couple to tweak the adults…to cause trouble, to make an issue of the yearbook.”<\/p>\n

Panelist Dr. Laura Berman<\/a> – who teaches psychiatry<\/a> at Northwestern University – responded:<\/p>\n

“I don’t think that this is necessarily completely about them (the students) trying to tweak the adults and trying to be provocative. I think this is about – and we’ve seen this in other high schools, as well, it’s starting to become at least a small trend, if not a large one, that homosexuality is becoming, thankfully<\/cite>, more normalized, because this is the time in adolescence that kids are exploring their sexuality and in fact starting to identify what their sexual orientation is.”<\/p>\n

Media Matters<\/a> published the entire transcript. Here’s just a portion:<\/p>\n

O’REILLY: …we don’t want to normalize homosexuality in a public way in an academic setting, high school, among minors. We don’t think that reflects…<\/p>\n

BERMAN: Why?<\/p>\n

O’REILLY: …how we feel about it. Well, for a number of reasons. One, social. It’s much more difficult to be homosexual than a heterosexual in America. Two, religious. There are people who believe that that kind of a life style…<\/p>\n

In the clip below, O\u2019Reilly talks about the national crisis of kids learning about sexuality.<\/p>\n
