#3 I don't see the connection between these kids being gay and these kids committing crimes. You guys are showing your true colors here. I admit robbing people in drag is uniquely gay, and rather bizarre, but that doesn't automatically negate the idea that gay kids need protection from an often violent majority in many places.

This story isn't a gay thing. It's a thug thing. Are you shocked that there are gay thugs? I'm not.

#4  Here’s at least some of the underlying animus. Homosexuality is the only psychiatric disorder (that I am aware of) that was voted out of the DSM in the 1970s for political reasons. All the other diagnostic categories, as far as I know, have at least some basis in some kind of science/research regarding human ills. That doesn’t make homosexuality more deviant than some of the other deviant ways of living (say, e.g., wife beating), but it does cause people to get irritated that a deviant sacred cow continues to be protected by those who should be smart enough to realized the inherent contradictions in their thought.

For instance, what if homosexuality is truly a disorder? What if, additionally, it is a behavioral/mental set that comes from dysfunction and results in the person being more unstable and unhappy than they would be otherwise? What if these kids who engaged in thuggery would have not done so if their inner-psychic conflicts were addressed, instead of mollified by well-wishing socialites?

Just something to think about . . .

#5 Okay, Anonymous. Fat kids get harrassed in high school. When are they getting their high school? When are the kids with bad acne getting their high school? What the hell, when will the fat kids with zits get their high school? Pick a "victim", any victim at all.
Look like these 5 picked their version of victimhood. Everybody loves victims, nobody likes predators. And that makes it so much harder to work your scam.

#6 If this "gay school" is what I gather, namely a return to segregation, then I can't support it at all. If these kids were harassed in other schools, then find the harassers and expel them. In fact do that for all bullies, those that pick on fat kids and all.

Don't go back to segregated schools.

cingold> I'm not certain I understand your use of the word "deviant". Are you referring to everything that's of a minority status as "deviant"? Is an IQ of 160 deviancy? Or black skin? What does "deviant" mean here? I don't know the medical term if this is one.

All those what-ifs are interesting, but you have to counter them with "what if the correct way of dealing with homosexual orientation is accepting it", And in liberal society of live-and-let-live dogma you have to show that homosexuality harms people by its very nature before pronouncing it a "disease" or a "disorder".

The whole "making people stray from the word of God" that some people use, isn't a good enough answer, btw, in a non-theocratic society.

And the "It's really icky" explanation, isn't a good enough answer either. :-)
