Obviously, gay kids can be bullies, but I think they would be less likely to be bullies, seeing they know what it is like to be treated differently.

How do you propose we do that? We try to educate kids about homosexuality in schools and religious groups and parents jump up and down and yell that a deviant lifestyle choice is being forced down the throats of children.

Let parents do the educating and they fill the kids heads with homophobic hatful garbage.

Eithor way homophobia prevails.

Could the same be said for kids who are fat, thin, tall, short, wear glasses, bad at sports, smart, dumb, spotty etc etc?

It isn't "homophobia" just common sense.

No, you were likely talking about teaching them homosexuality is immoral and sickening and should not be condoned, right?

It does appear that children in Britain are better educated than their American counterparts. Based on my own experience with the public school system, I have no problem believing that. What are your thoughts on that?

At least someone here is acknowledging that there are many reasons kids get bullied in school. Being gay (or perceived that way) is just one of those reasons. Why does the gay issue deserve any more attention than all the other reasons kids get bullied?

Remember, I was very bad at sports and took my share of shit for that. It would ridiculous to propose a "Day of Silence" for all those kids who suck at sports. Yet, many of you think that gay kids getting bullied is somehow different. Why is that?

And it's not like I retired at 20

Ain't nothin' wrong with that! I'd retire right now if I could.

Would you please comment on my previous post regarding bullying? My real interest is whether you regard bullying gay kids in the same light as bullying kids for other reasons (such as sucking at sports).
