This kids are standing up to the vile behavior being pushed down their throats. In their own way, they are more courageous than the leaders and politicians in this country. If everyone knew the truth about homosexuality, the early death rate, disease rate, suicide rate, psychological problem rate, etc. you would think that everyone would have anti-gay day. But truth means little now days...

In many Iowa schools they have a "day of silence" for Matthew Shepherd, who they say was murdered by cowboy Homophobes. Like the false narrative of "hands up, don't shoot", the truth in this case is very different from the story.

Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson, now doing life in prison for the murder of Shepherd, were not homophobes, rather McKinney had been Shepard’s gay or bisexual lover.

John 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered , Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born , and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

IIRC, it was that McKinney had a child with his girlfriend while possibly also being a lover of Shephard.

FWIW, the news though is that the perps were punished, a lot of bigots in America never got the justice they deserved, but bragged openly about their actions.
