Its not the school or states job to give kids pride in who or what they are .... except maybe for being good students. Did your school organize a white pride club for you? I am saying let them be who they are. You are the one that wants them silenced. I'm saying let them be who they are w/o the school or state getting involved. Especially in something like sexual identity. Why do liberals want the state and school to get into gay people's bedroom? .......when they are alone, they are getting beaten up for whom they are. This is not news......did you not go to school in the US? I saw kids picked on, but I don't know that the picked on kids were gay. No one said they were at the time. I know of two people in my hometown who turned out to be gay. As far as I know neither was picked on. One was the youngest brother of a family with a lot of boys, the older of whom were all athletes, though this one, the youngest brother wasn't. Wait, thats wrong - he played football and baseball I recall, just not basketball like his older brothers. I have a feeling its out of the ordinary for kids to be picked on as gay. But gay kids getting picked on will actually increase if the school encourages "gay kids" to publicly label themselves and act out in strange ways. I don't think this movement has anything to do with what is best for young people who think they're gay. Now you have problems with fat kids as well? No, I dont' have trouble with fat kids. As you know, I used them as an example - it would be silly to have schools form Fat Pride Clubs because fat kids sometimes get picked on. When do jocks not have girlfriends......again, did you not go to school in the US? You think in stereotypes a lot. In your mind, jocks all have girlfriends, they're probably all arrogant bullies. Gays are all little wimps who are all brutalized at every turn. ....
