The Rash Of Recent Gay Suicides
Okay everyone, today I am pissed! I am outraged, I am feeling all kinds of ways right now because of the recent string of gay teens committing suicide in a world that was harsh to them. I am very angered and just outraged that the schools in Anoka-Hennepin District in Minnesota have adapted a neutrality policy stating that they can't talk about sexual orientation and gender identity for fear that they'll convert the remaining students to homosexuality.
The recruitment theory is outdated and overrated. I've never seen a straight man seduced, if so he wasn't straight to begin with. The only thing that The Minnesota Family Council seem to want is a world where GLBT people don't exist. They want to make it so that they can continue to foster such an anti-gay atmosphere still. There may be changes in the policies but the fact is that there has to be an exchange of dialogue with the students--not just the administrators. This must be reinforced in the home, but with the students spending more time in school than in the home it is necessary that we address it instead of simply avoiding it.
Thank You
