We're Cool with That

We have laws that protect juvenile offenders, even those who commit murder, from abuse and severe penalties. Yet we don't have laws that protect gay kids from bullying, which can be severe enough for the kids to consider suicide. Being gay is a crime worse than murder. And it is the people who profess a book that is the last word on love, compassion, and mercy. A European organization of gay youth met last week to develop guidelines for schools to become more gay-friendly. A prominent poster shows 3 teen boys with the headline, "He's Gay and We're Cool with That." Alas, it isn't an American campaign.
