Ellen Page is gay
Well, that's interesting.
http://gawker.com/ellen-page-comes-o...ium=socialflow Actress Ellen Page publicly came out as gay Friday evening, while giving a speech at Time to THRIVE, a national LGBTQ youth conference held in Las Vegas. "I'm here today because I am gay," Page told the assembled crowd, which responded with a standing ovation and a long chorus of cheers. "Whoo!" said Page, before continuing: Quote:
After her speech, the Human Rights Campaign, which organized the conference, congratulated Page on the front page of its website for "her brave decision to live openly and authentically." Last edited by Hammock Parties; 02-15-2014 at 01:09 AM.. |

If that is the case, those students who don't approve of homosexuality are being marginalized over a small fraction of who they are as people (their beliefs about homosexuality as heterosexual students). An overwhelming majority of homosexual kids are bullied, chastised, and marginalized FAR worse over an enormous aspect of who they are as people. Also, those kids are making the choice to believe what they want to about homosexuality. Gay kids can't change who they are. If it is an either/or situation, wouldn't you agree that it's better to error on the side of... oh, I don't know... not making gay kids seriously consider suicide? |

Is it not really, really obvious that SNR is projecting?
I think it is. |

He was in the closet in high school, but he "sounded" gay. And he was bullied pretty hard for it. He told me later that even though he considered me a friend and someone he knew he could come out to, there was a part of him in the back of his head that didn't trust me. That part of him didn't trust anybody. He finally told me he was gay a few years into college, which didn't surprise me. What did surprise me is that's when he told me about his thoughts of suicide. Until then I had no idea. Sorry, I know you were joking, and didn't mean to dry up the banter. But it's kind of an issue I take personally. |

And I don't agree or approve with that happening to them, either. No more than I do with a child who was born with a malformed limb being called a "gimp" every 20 seconds.

"Well that shit just ain't natural!"
"I don't want my kids to see two dudes kissing and think it's ok. It's Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve!" "If we accept that homosexuality isn't a choice then before you know it we'll have to do the same for pedophiles!" |

And if kids used racial slurs to bully a particular ethnicity as often as they use gay slurs to bully gay kids, I think you'd agree there's a pretty big problem that needs to be more aggressively addressed outside of, "All bullying is bad and shouldn't be tolerated." |
