@frankal0 It's different. Fat kids aren't told they are going to hell for being fat every day. Kids with acne don't have a 1 in 4 chance of being kicked out, having nowhere to live and no way to eat. Un-athletic kids don't face legalized discrimination in their future. They can still get married when they grow up, have kids, serve their country, have jobs that can't fire them because of it. Most importantly, gay kids are just like the rest, are fat, have acne, are already bullied.
In 1986, a bunch of us at college tried to start an LGBT group for the same reasons and were denied support from the Student Association and could only find TWO faculty members who would help us. I went back for a visit in '92 and there were posters for the LGBT group meetings all over campus. It gets better in your personal life, and is even getting better in wider society - slowly. Hang in there, guys. Fight for your right to BE WHO YOU ARE. You deserve happiness just as much as anyone else.

Yay yay yay for IC! I knew that it was a great choice, even for our straight son, to be in an environment that encourages individuality and acceptance...not just "tolerance". OUTSTANDING!
