Hello. I am a new member
And I would like to start today off with a good old fashion debate.
Ok, now here is whats going on:
In my highschool (In Oregon) I had a guy-friend of mine "come out" and he told his friends of his preferred sexual choice. After his coming out my friend was treated brutially. I am talking broken bone beatings, random death notes, exclusion in classes (mostly P.E.) even signs against all "sinning homo's" was posted by our Bible Club around the school. This went on for all of his sophmore, and the remander of his freshman year. School administraters were little help, since they never caught anyone unless my guy-friend could Identify them, and we realized that our health center and counsilers were unequipped, and ill-informed/prepared to answer or help homosexual students.
So, during my sophmore year, I and two other friends started the GSA (Gay Straight Alliance.) We helped our counsilers inform the other students, bought pamplets for the centers and ourselves, and set up a student counsler center that would help answer both straight, gay, transexaul, and bi students questions and help them explain themselves properly to family and friends, with health department help we now have condoms, contact for appointments and we even held rallies to promote peace in our schools for ALL students, no matter what your preferece.
The problem is that I am in my Junior year, and we have a new, very religious and VERY anti-homosexual princible who has ordered our club to be shut down because our title, projects, and message are "school inappropriet due to the sexual nature of our club discussions and meetings"
Are we wrong for promoting tolerence, information and comfort to my peers who are different??
