Another angle to this is that it’s not about a kid being gay though that is many times the case. It’s sometimes about a kid being perceived to be gay because he’s shy or whatever. I know for a fact that some kids in middle school thought I was gay because I was shy especially around girls. Nothing wrong with being gay of course but kids will go after the perception. Really, what strikes me about the state of our country is there are a lot of people who are growing with the times. My very Catholic grandmother seems to have come around on gay marriage but there are other people like the asshole that Kragar linked to who still want to live in the darkness or return to a more darker time where homosexuals and others are not only to be treated like outcasts because of who they are but they should be treated like criminals too.
