Z, > Because otherwise you end up with a bunch of homosexual kids entering their teens hating themselves and a bunch of heterosexual kids who hate them.

Seems like you could say the exact same thing about a lot of other kids:

- Fat kids
- Geeky kids
- Ugly kids
- Dumb kids
- Kids of a racial minority (especially those who speak with an accent)
- Kids that are too tall or too short.
- Girls with big boobs or none at all.
- Kids of a particular religion or faith.
- Even victims of cyberbullying.

Why should homosexuality be given special attention?

> Well, one point of view is tolerant and the other is intolerant...

Yes, I've heard that argument before. "I can tolerate anything except intolerance."

Really convenient to call yourself "tolerant," then label everything you disagree with as "intolerance."
