It really brings joy to my heart when I see these teenagers stand up for what they believe in.

@Bright2666 huntie, take two pills and call me when you calm down. stop, step back, you're taking the argument too literally. If you look back on history, on the argumetns that have been used against everything from jim crow laws to interracial marriage, contrast them to modern day arguments against same-sex marriage and civil rights for LGBT persons, you'll see THE SAME ARGUMENTS made by the biggots against both groups. That's why they're the same, both persecuted unjustly. both indefensible.

@Bright2666 racism is no different to homophobia

[Bright2666]

i dont know why people compares gay with black..im gay and black....gay is sexuallity and black is the skin colour and are two different things .i can pretend to be straight but i cant pretend to be white..can i ? everybody who says that is a rasist and stupid. you say that because you thnk black is infirior to white just like they say gay isnt good....you are a rasist so why should homophobes listen to you?

ummm i was there, my name is adam schang and mr mcdowell had no right. he told me and daniel to leave just cause we dont support gays. i have no problem against them. i dont care about gays they can do what they want. jay said if u dont support gays or anything then get out. he turned a personal matter to school and prevented us from learning. this kid wasnt there. so why is he talking. this was all just stupid.

@samten10a Bullying is bullying, bullies should be punished regardless or their religion or their sexuality or race. The teacher did a thing he believed is good, and that's what each one of us should do if put in a position like that. The fact hat he got punished for standing up for someone is such a shame.
