I have no problem with students organizing support for zero-tolerance for bullying in school.

:shrug

no argument, even though you tried to word your post in a way to be insulting and offensive, there isn't any problem with students organizing any kind of support system for anything they like.

Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

Bigotry is a social disease.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."

I don't think you can infer a whole organization's stance on a complex issue like genetics based on a question that they asked 4th graders. A question that you are obviously taking completely out of context, as well, since you did not care to bring up ALL the questions that were asked. I'd be interested to see the whole quiz. I'm sure it paints them in a completely different light than what you are trying to.

Precisely what context could this question be asked:

if you have never had a homosexual experience how do you know you are not homosexual?

that would paint it in a completely different light?

Even the goddess would have a hard time spinning that.

I don't know, maybe they are trying to make some sort of point. Of course all you would post was the question, so we can all say "how horrible of those evil gay people!"

In other words you can't answer the question and prefer to play victim - again!

Yes, I have said that a few times myself on this thread, tristan.

It's clear from the tone of those "what about the other kids?" posts that the authors are far more interested in finding another excuse to bash gays than in actually taking action to protect kids from being bullied.

Whilst others organise a completely ineffective silent protest that excludes every kid ever bullied for any reason other than homosexuality.

How selfish.

Ineffective? You are proof of its effectiveness.
You are STILL talking about it nearly a month after the event!

If it can make this much of an impression on you, imagine the sort of impression it made on reasonable people.
