We have some education to do. If Lawrence King would have been discriminated against in employment or housing, it most likely wouldn't have been for his sexual orientation. He wasn't a transsexual, but he was definitely gender variant. Seriously… dude… when even you don’t know that someone can be trans AND gay? We have some education to do.

Coming out is hard enough - having to associate yourself with a word that has come to mean for most high school students (and beyond) "all things bad" only makes things worse. Schools should encourage more tolerance and less bullying. I particularly enjoyed the "Gay? Fine By Me!" t-shirt rage that was circulating around college campuses not so long ago. Nice to see that acceptance can be a fashion trend. I am glad that the fight to eliminate derogatory use of “gay” in schools is on the rise.

If I stand around a water cooler making jokes....that isn't enough. I have to refrain from making those comments.... That is what is missing from their training.
