Gay/Homosexual Children are subject to ridicule, verbal and physical abuse by their peers, on a daily basis.

Sometimes rejected by their own families.

Gay/Homosexual kids tend to want to fade out,
to shrink, to become invisible, in order not to get beat up.

In order to escape this torture, some Homosexual Teens,
have killed themselves.

Kids can be very mean and they are especially nasty to "different" and nobody is fits the "different" category more than Homosexual Kids.

I think it's fantastic that NYC is going to provide a safe haven for them, where they can learn, receive an education and be respected, treated with dignity and receive all the rights and privileges that is their due.

Why anyone would have a problem with that,
is beyond me?

You want kids to be abused, ridiculed, poked fun at,
even beaten up, because they are gay?

Physical abuse, verbal abuse is the standard in any school where hetersexuals dominate.

When I was going to school, in Dobbs Ferry, New York,
there was one guy in particular, who was the 'swishy'
type.

He was very girlish, his walk, way of moving, everything.

His life was made miserable.

He walked home from school, so that he didn't have to ride the school bus.

No one I knew spoke to him, everyone talked about him behind his back, when they saw him coming.

It was horrible.

I should have just sat down next to him in the lunchroom,
or spoken to him or something.

I'm ashamed to say, that I shunned him along with everyone else.

I just didn't know any better, and my friends, wouldn't have have understood.

I mean no one spoke to him.

I still wonder about him today.
I wish I could have suggested that he go to Greenwich Village in NYC, where there is a homosexual community and he would have been accepted.

But I never heard of Greenwich Village, at that time,
didn't know it existed and believed what I was told,
that homosexuals were 'strange'.

That was wrong and I really regret it.

Hurray for NYC, that they will have a school,
where the homosexuals are in charge and they where bigtory, shunning, name calling, all those ugly things, just will not be allowed.

They should pay for it themselves.

I know fundamentalist Christian kids that are harassed, insulted and ridiculed - particularly those that require women not to cut their hair, to wear long dresses, etc. Do these kids get their own PUBLIC schools as well? I know black kids that are taunted, abused and ridiculed - do they get their own PUBLIC schools as well? I know a couple of short kids that are constantly picked on in school, so much that it distracts from their education. Do they get their own PUBLIC school as well? Segregation doesn't stop stupid people from being bigoted and prejudiced toward people. Neither can you stop people from disliking various groups of people based on skin color, sexual orientation or religious belief. Some day the leftist/liberal/progressive/neo-socialists will discover this fact.
But then again,

Who Cares?

Again, again, so lets paint a target on their foreheads! It's amazing that NYC would even consider this.

The Gay community should consider the welfare of these children! It is an irresponsible act & sacrifice to make on behalf of making a statement.

No I wouldn't. But I wouldn't seperate them to STAND out even more.

**BIG snip, snip on the hypocricy**

So I guess if you place an all black school in the middle of K.K.K village they'll really be in charge huh? In charge of what?? Arming themselves & requiring SPECIAL security on a day to day basis?
I think this is the worst idea I have ever heard of.....I thought we were supposed to teach our children "harmony" and getting along with others. NYC is known for it's label as the "Melting Pot" it appears contradictory of that philisophy to create separitism....I am by no means anti-gay whatsover, but I think this particular issue is not being looked at rationally and it most definitely endangering the welfare of minors. For those that are for it, I can understand the issues surrounding it that we all need to "just get along" but do you really think the prejudices of others will really change or that it can be controlled....I think not.
