Gay High School???
Woah, I heard about this a few days ago and I'm surprised no one has posted anything about it. Here it is... I'm surprised as you are...

W0W, does this sound unconstitutional or what??? Don't get my meaning? Well, first off this school segragates gay people from straight people, in an equal area. This sounds like it could be closely tied into the Jim Crow Laws, which were repealed because it divided people into different groups. Is this not doing the exact same thing? This moronic idea is only enforceing the fact that gays are different from straight people. Do you understand the serious repercussions that this is going to have on our society.
I thought the whole point of respect and tolerance was to make those with a different sexual preferance feel more accepted into society?
I though that diversity was to be celebrated, not separated?
I thought that if we all accepted eachother then we could all get along in a uniform and mainstream society?
I thought wrong according to this...
I can't believe America has gotten to the point where the only solution to the problem of a few homophobic morons is to separtate themselves from society as a whole...
* Making them more vunerable.
* Creating more resentment.
* Restricting any hope of complete tolerance.
Why are they doing this!!! Can you imagine if a straight guy wanted to go to this school for some reason? They wouldn't let them in because he has a different sexual preferance. It's as if some of the gay community's response to the problem of homophobia is that of straightaphobia. The very thing that they are trying to prevent they are indirectly enforcing through this act and it WILL only make things worse.
They argue that this is a place for gay people to go to that are afraid to go to a regular public school. BULL5H17!!! Facing adversity is one of the biggest lessons that life can teach you, if the school is full of homophobes, get some support and change the way these people are! If you run away from problems in your life, it's safe to say that you will not succeed in it. Without diversity in an area, and without the celebration of it, you will have the same type of people keeping the same type of attitude towards people that are different.
Is this America's response to a problem like this??? Has society given up on trying to work together as a union??? If so...
then I'm afraid the bullies and homophobes have won.
Yea you heard it right, if gays are going to separate themselves from society in this way. Then all the bullies that didn't want them in thier school have won, they won. It's so sad.
You CANNOT run away from your problems! Things will just get worse!
Also, what's to become of these students when they get out of high-school??? Will there be a gay college??? A gay only employment???
Can anyone else say unconstitutional, immoral, and a horrible let down to those who thought there was hope. Not to mention a big slap in the face to those who thought that they were making a difference by reaching out to others and trying to spread tolerance and diversity...
This is a disgrace, this... I swear, will mark the beginning of a huge cultural civil-war if it already Isn't underway...
--Peace
The real question is not whether peace can be obtained, but whether or not mankind is mature enough for it...
