I love that anderson reports on this. It's so important. I'm bisexual and was made fun of in high school for that reason and a lot of other reasons. I remember in high school, I thought it was the end of the world because I wasn't accepted. I tried to kill myself also. I realize now being out of high school for almost 2 years, it definitely isn't the end of the line! You just have to make it through high school! It gets better. I hope many of these kids begin to realize this.
What he said about that tyler kid killing himself because he was embarrassed of himself for being gay and his dates being filmed. That's just so sad, and WRONG. How can that be okay in any way? All of the right wingers who say being gay is a choice, is this enough to change your mind?
How about this: Let's go back to the definition of "gay" as the opposite to "somber".
So to call an electric car gay is to call it light and festive and with little substance beyond the pleasant emotion (as oppssed to weighty and solemn an serious).
Bullying has got to stop. Parents need to teach children to not say "that's so Gay" or "Fag" or any of the words that can hurt someone. Those words have a big impact. Words are like weapons and they do hurt people. My heart goes out to the families that have lost people from bullying.
@justinebrock If the kids were raised properly, with love and perhaps were taught that life isn't so serious all of the time, then kids wouldn't be committing suicide. Saying "That's so gay" doesn't make somebody want to kill themselves, it's their low self-esteem created due to in largely by poor parenting. Homosexuals all of the time say that things are "gay". Most of this is brought out by heterosexuals intent on being politically correct. Communicate with your children, parents.
@TheUnusedCrayon You can't just blame poor parenting for the fact that they have low self-esteem. There are a number of factors, like the media and peers, that also play a significant role in a person’s self-esteem and to blame it on ‘poor parenting’ is just crazy. It’s politically correct to call anything gay? People have to understand that saying ‘gay’ or ‘faggot’ is offensive and use some other describing word that would be more relevant.
@justinebrock fuck that, what we should be focusing on is first tackling real issues like filming someone for the purposes of exposing him etc. second is to stop the bullshit of so called conservatives who are fighting hard against the gay comunity, finally teach our kids that we can't be offended by shit that isn't directed at us! if everybody starts complaining about things like this soon we are going to be living in a world where we are all afraid to speak because we might offend someone.
@justinebrock While I agree with you, solutions don't always move in one direction. It's equally important for parents to teach their children to be strong, confident, and to call upon their sense of self-awareness. If the majority are taught to embrace these virtues, the taunts and bullying from the minority will be senseless fodder and fall on deaf ears and unaffected minds.

Yes, all opinions we don't agree with should be silenced!
