This school gives credibility to the idea of accepting homosexuality as a normal part of society. It accepts is as equal to heterosexuality. That thought process is disordered.
Dear Lord, for the sake of His sorrowful pkmtyolpion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Amen

I see your point, but in general kids with these "conditions" aren't beaten to death (e.g. Matthew Sheppard) for having them. How mistaken you are. I've been beaten up many times in my life because I was short. Not beaten to death obviously, but then again the incidence of homosexuals being beaten to death is rare also. Discrimination in this country against short men is just as bad if not worse than discrimination against any other group of people. We need a separate school for short boys, so they can be free of all threats. Women should not be allowed to reject short men because of their stature. Wait a minute, this is beginning to sound ridiculous. Just as it is with the complainings of the homosexual community.

Walk a mile in the shoes of a homosexual and then come back and talk about it. I'm sure that people use the same logic when they used to talk about "blacks" wanting special rights and special treatment. In a few generations, people will look on discrimination against homosexuals the same way that we look on discrimination based on skin color. Pointless, stupid, and very unenlightened. Disagree all you want - history will prove me right. And so your decision is to either let go of the hate, or get left behind.

Your refusal to acknowledge my personal experience of bias against short men is evidence of your own bias. Walk a mile in my shoes. I had to work harder, work longer and produce more than my colleagues and received less recognition. Yet nobody wants to provide special privileges for me. A homosexual male can prevent discrimination simply by keeping his homosexual lifestyle to himself. He doesn't need to come out of the closet because I and nobody else needs to know he is homosexual. I, however, cannot keep the secret that I am a short man. I also have no choice as does the homosexual. I am and always will be short. Nothing can change that. I therefore am far more deserving of special protection than any homosexual. Yet I chose to prove myself by my abilities rather than whine about how the gov't owes me special protection. I took responsibility for myself which is something the gay community can't seem to do. Maybe they are just incapable of doing so.

I've never heard of anyone being beaten up for being short. Are you sure it wasn't something else? And what does that say about those that would persecute someone for being short? As is the case in all instances of persecution, the problem lies in the persecutor, not the victim. I don't know if a separate school is the answer, but I see no problem with protecting those that are persecuted. That is, at least, until people that feel the need to persecute are gone.

So why is a separtate school for homosexuals ok but you're not sure about a separate school for short boys. Is it more important to protect homos rather than shorties in your book? Just so you know, I've been beaten up for being short and for being white, so where are your sympathies for people like me. Maybe we also need a school for white people to be protected too.

It happens to be my opinion that homosexuality IS a disease of sorts and that does not mean that I have any fear of it. Just as cancer is a disease, I don't fear victims of cancer. I believe there is a cure for homosexuality somewhere. Maybe a 12 step program, who knows?

I didn't say that a separate school for homosexuals was OK - I said I wasn't sure if it was the answer. As for your experiences, I would be interested to hear what sort of area you grew up in that would discriminate against short white men. By the way, what is your definition of "short"? I have sympathies for anyone that is persecuted unfairly for any reason. It is fear that makes people nasty to one another. All negativity comes from fear.
