It sounds like the kids being picked on are NOT gay.
``Most of my sixth-grade year was a living hell,'' said Jacob Rubin, 13, now an eighth-grader at Willard Middle School in Berkeley who said he was labeled gay because of his long hair. ``I was called `gay,' `faggot,' `homo.' I was called a lesbian once. One day I was actually sitting in class when four boys hit me.'' This was about his long hair. So teach tolerance for long hair.
No 13 year old should be deciding he is gay anyway. Especially since the activists say that you cannot change. He should at least reach the age of consent before committing to it.
This is just a twisting of the circumstances to fit their political agenda. Kids tease each other. It starts when they begin to talk. Teaching them to be polite is a good thing, but it isn't about gayness. This is really stupid.
