So let's educate victims and potential victims, preferably in advance.<br /><br />Perhaps, indirectly, the bullies and bigots will eventually get the message that they are the ones with the problem and not their prey.Gary Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17947146717481835071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-20871739428100007532010-10-10T17:14:03.250-04:002010-10-10T17:14:03.250-04:00yup JustinBO, you got it right.yup JustinBO, you got it right.jimmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13114255434616727257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-30401290757019052652010-10-10T14:22:59.718-04:002010-10-10T14:22:59.718-04:00Hey Jimm BO. . .are Durand and IQ Bay

The art...There are bullies everywhere in the world. The article paints a picture of a community that is loving and accepting. It also portrays the attackers as the bad guys. And they are.<br /><br />Consider now that there are places, here in the US, where the story would be turned around. Where the bullies would be the good guys. Sending a message that gays are not welcome. I know this, because my own sister lives in a place like that.<br /><br />Unfortunately, just as many gays are born to these people as there are to the accepting ones. We've got a long way to go. We can't stop. It should bother us that this happened. At least it happened in a neighborhood that will not put up with it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02964941329127641280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-55226710155221038492010-10-10T10:24:31.689-04:002010-10-10T10:24:31.689-04:00All of this stuff has as it's core the sexual ...All of this stuff has as it's core the sexual inadquacies of the young male bully. He doesn't want to confess that he's stared at his beautiful male classmate in the gym shower, or that he and his buddy jacked eachother off when they were 13, and the only way he can confirm his "manliness" is to became a pack animal. Have you noticed that all these bullies seem to do their acting out in front of an audience of their peers? They are terrified that someone will know their deepest secrets.<br /> The campaign against gay-hatred is the great civil rights cause of our time. What's interesting is how reticent our politicians are to make it an issue. Could it be that the black civil rights movement succeeded because it wasn't condemned by popular religious scripture?Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-4772249643092439382010-10-10T07:43:35.201-04:002010-10-10T07:43:35.201-04:00Yes, Gary . . .

I shudder at the thought these girls will 'age'. .( I seriously doubt they will 'grow up'). .will marry and have children.<br />What a tragedy: what chance will those kids have. . . and the poor husband trapped, unless he is smart, in a hell-hole. "Like produces like".<br /><br />For me, in all of this, I see hope. .<br />While there is all this crap going on and it is crushing tragic. . there is goodness, strength, energy, love, joy, caring etc going on all around us.. . all around me. Just to take the love and joy I am en-joying this weekend, the families in my life which nourish and sustain me. . . .this far outweighs . . . .well, whatever. . . <br /><br />I know I am hardly a spokesperson for the "oppressed, abused, victimized gay kid". . . You keep reminding me - and your sentiments serve as a reality check - how lucky, fortunate, blessed, privileged I am. . .I still believe what others call outdated myth - that of the victory of good over evil as essential hope and reality.<br /><br />That has been again affirmed and strengthened by being home this weekend with Peter and our families. I choose to live with that 'belief system' which I know from experience and verifiable fact, rather than succumb to the dark empty hole of despair and disappointed rage.<br /><br />Is my 'belief system' and the life I am inheriting and building on all illusion? I think NOT!<br /><br />Which is preferable. . .the vision/hope/reality in which I live or that bitter angry hole of despair and rage ? Obviously I prefer mine. ;-)<br /><br />This morning once again the SUN has mythically/mystically dispelled the DARKNESS. It is all new, "born again". . . <br /><br />justin o'sheaJustinO'Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07379283329949646000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-13158908189441029702010-10-10T02:05:53.314-04:002010-10-10T02:05:53.314-04:00My initial reaction to this story is that bullies ...My initial reaction to this story is that bullies will attack anyone, no matter who they are - gay, straight or otherwise. Just so long as their victims are a minority. Bullies don't like to be outnumbered because they are cowards. That's their style... yellow to the core. Scum.<br /><br />If you need more proof, check out this story from Ohio - fellow classmates laughing at the corpse of a suicide victim:<br /><br />http://www.aolnews.com/nation/article/ohios-mentor-high-school-under-scrutiny-after-spate-of-suicides/19667585?icid=main%7Chtmlws-main-n%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk2%7C176523&a_dgi=aolshare_emailGary Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17947146717481835071noreply@blogger.com
