Well AS, I agree with a Republican, everything can happen .
I think this guy is right : if there are laws to punish gay bashing, they should be enforced. Creating more segregation than there is already is further going down the wrong road, and I'm really surprised that the gay wommunity (or rather, some organized gays who pretend to represent the gay community) is actually pushing this direction.

I am against Gay bashing, and I'm against intolerance towards gays. I think schools should be a place where you should learn how the society really is. I think this long guy thinks the same. Down with segregation !

Rather then segregating out the gays, I'd rather senf off to their own school the people in high school who make the lives of gays help. If you just want to go to school to interfere with other's learning, you should be expelled.

Even those schools that allow both men and women still segregate them... I, mean, whats up with his/hers dormitories, room pairing, locker rooms, and showers...

Desegregation should be across the board

My high school had a helluva lot of gay and lesbian teachers, yet our headmaster was a militaristic, religious homophobe.

Can you guess which I was reffered to when there were problems regarding my sexuality in school?

Yes to further helping gay students and dealing with further co-operation and understanding with striaght students, but seperate schools seems a really bad idea...

Is this a public school or a private school getting public funding? I approve if its a private school, just to give the kids out there, who are feeling overwhelmed with the harrassment they receive, an option instead of being consigned to 4 years of pure hell.

By the way, I doubt anyone is prohibited from enrolling based on their sexuality. It probably just has a curriculum oriented towards homosexuality, like catholic schools are oriented towards catholicism while still accepting kids of different faiths.

THEN I realized.............. well how damn hard is it to hide your sexuality? You really arent supposed to be "getting it on" in highschool during the school day anyway, so what is the need?


They(straight kids) shouldnt but they do, so should gay HS kid be ostracized for getting it on? They should have equal rights to be able to do something they shouldnt be doing.

Plus, I knew who ****ed who in my HS, even if I wasnt actively pursuing the gossips. (Thats how easily these kind of things circulate around in HS)

Anyways, this whole issue wouldnt arise if gay HS kids werent ostracized. Which is where the problem lies.

I don't know, what I do know is that I was called gay so many times in high school that I would go home thinking they knew something I didn't. I don't want to think about what that experience would have been like for someone who actually was gay. I can understand why someone might want to get an education away from all that.

The worst thing is homophobic headteachers.

I was interrogated for hours by my headteacher (and my parents for that matter) after I hit on a guy when we were 15 and he attacked me later on. Of course he was let off the hook completely.

It's not a straw man. If this is a designated gay high school, what's wrong with a designated straight high school?

I guess I'll chime in: Yep, this is a BAD idea. If it were a private school that was privately funded, then that's their own business...but it's being funded by public funds. There is more than one kind of segregation. While we're at it, let's reseperate the darkies from the fine, upstanding white suburbanite children. Their educational needs are different as darkies are prone to violent behaviour, so they need constant police supervision. And we can't have any of those shifty Jewish children corrupting our good, God-fearing Christian children. Jews are thieving, greedy little b*stards afterall. No, having this kind of school is a step backwards in the climb towards Tolerant Society...

...just what Boddington's ordered.

The only acceptable exception are schools for the severly disabled...those who simply cannot function in a normal classroom environment. Their needs far exceed the ability of regular school classrooms to provide.

I can't beleive someone even suggested this idea. I wonder if the person who came up with this is gay, because you would think that if you want to be excepted by others you wouldn't seperate yourself from the public.
