On October 25 the homosexual and transgender lobby came in full force to the State House to push a bill to amend last year's anti-bullying law, to make homosexuality and "gender identity or expression" (i.e., boys wearing dresses, etc.) as protected classes in schools. Among other things, it would require special anti-bullying diversity training and the banning of any criticism of those behaviors by students or staff. It would affect virtually all public and private schools in Massachusetts.
Most people don't realize that the biggest force behind the "anti-bullying laws" across the country has been the homosexual/transgender movement. Virtually every "anti-bully" law around the country has been started and predominantly pushed by those activists, and contains much of their language. (In New Jersey, the homosexual lobby group actually wrote the entire anti-bully law.) This radical movement is cynically taking this often tragic problem and leveraging it for its own ends.
Their political goal is to use the anti-bullying bills to force the normalization of homosexual and transgender behavior in the schools. They particularly push to include language in the bills: (1) declaring homosexuality and "gender identity" as special protected classes; (2) making it a crime for any student or staff member to criticize, disparage, or question those behaviors; (3) requiring special diversity training to students and all school staff; and (4) imposing meticulous "bullying incident" reporting requirements on school staff members.
The campaign generally becomes quite aggressive, invariably (and shamelessly) repeating the emotional imagery of children committing suicide from apparent bullying incidents. That is followed by their demands that their solutions be used or else, they claim, more kids will die.
The actual scientifically-based causes of bullying and preventive measures are consistently tossed aside. Instead, we get their politically correct "solutions" which are unfortunately generally ineffective and even counter-productive.

Homosexual activists flood State House public hearing to change anti-bullying law. Pushing bill to require special protections for homosexuality and "gender identity" in schools!
homosexual agenda ping
A crime to question? Attention. Richard Tisei is going to announce he is running for congress. He is a sponsor of the Transgender bathroom Bill. Do not support him!
all this would not have happened if the people were to have voted on this issue.
It sickens me to see the state get took over by college kids who end up staying after school, professors, the media, channels 4,5, and 7 , NECN, and unions.
A crime to question?
On Thursday (May 29,2008), Colorado Governor Bill
Ritter, a Democrat, signed a law allowing men to use
women’s bathrooms and locker rooms, based on socalled sexual-identity (a man who feels like a
woman, wants to be a woman or thinks he is a
woman). Under the state’s new “transgender
nondiscrimination” law, restaurants and other public
accommodations that try to keep guys out of the
ladies room are subject to a fine of up to $5,000 and
a year in jail. Besides destroying the family, the
happy movement (and its pet politicians) are intent
on abolishing gender as a legal distinction. That
sound out of Denver is civilization being flushed.

But just led a kid wear a T-Shirt with a Confederate flag on it and all hell will break loose . . .
Agreed!
...And the voters here keep on voting for anything with a (D) by it's name!
Except for Scott Brown,I've gone ZERO for the ballot the last few elections here!
This state is finished!
“Transgender lobby.” Really says it all about modern society.
Interesting that many schools are not bothering to comply with the law now.
So the poor 70 year old man that was gang raped by 4 homosexuals when he refused to hand over his wallet last night wasn’t bullied. Because he had no gender identity issues. We do not need a special class of people with special rules in society, we already have government.
Crybabies!
What is going on in Jersey? I’m not bashing the state;I have very fond memories of visting my aunt and uncle when I was a child at Easter and Thanksgiving. I also like the Devils.
Years ago, I had a job where I reviewed job separation reasons. On the job bullying - for every straight on gay bullying case, there were five gay on straight bullying cases.
There was a straight girl who was teased so relentlessly that she hanged herself. Her little sister found her.You guys may have heard about her.She was from Ireland but I cannot remember her name. The kids told her that she should just kill herself.She did.I hope those sacks of s**t feel like s**t for the rest of their lives.
What about this poor child? Would it have been even bigger news if she’d been a lesbian?
I wanna say I’m a man in a woman’s body so I can see the naked men in the shower,hee,hee. I’d probably blush seeing all these men fully exposed.
But,what the hell. You only live once!
What a shock! The queers are treated better than the heteos,or so it seems.
Jerry Sandusky can now claim he’s being bullied.
