all gay high schools.

it's not that "Gay' people want there own school...it's just that there is alot of immature people out there that cant handle or deal w/ this topic on a mature level.Especially (teens) thats why you see them getting outkasted at school and hamburgers flown at them.
It's just giving them an opp. to be more positive and comfortable (in society) w/ who they are, because everyone knows that when things go wrong it effects more then you...it effects your work,school etc. I imagin going to school and getting picked on? How many people are afraid to go to school because of this??? It trickles down, Lack of intrest in school, failing grades,low-selfesteem etc...
I also think that should let anyone who's not immature or has no issues w/"Gays" into the school, so it wouldnt be a "segregation" issue, so the students also know that there are understanding people out thereand you can live a"normal" life w/o the name calling and spitting.

I know lot's of topics have been discussed in this thread. But I don't agree with opening a separate school for gays. I think that separates them from living a normal life. Everyone has been teased for one thing or another. You don't see this happeneing when they grow up. People don't work in Gay Corporations. You have to learn to work with other's even if they are different than you. Opening a school separate for them is only going to hurt in the long run then help. Using my tax dollars to open a school like this is not a good idea. I'd rather use my tax dollars on the schools that are open now to improve those.
^^^^ok that is just did wrong!, but we are allowed are opinions!
Look we all know that being teased because your fat or mexican(I got teased for that too) is someting totally diffrent then being "Gay". I think it's a good idea to make the school primarily for "Gays",but also allow other students to attend that school. I do agree that they could also put money into rebuilding the schools that are currently up.

I think an all gay school is stupid personally. I don't see the point. I am a lesbian, but I wouldn't want to hang out with a million gay people all day long. Just like I wouldn't want to hang out with all whites, all blacks or all asians. Diversity makes life fun and interesting. But if some gay people want to go to an all gay school, that's their perogative, but I don't see how it prepares them for the outside world where they will have to deal with the reality that they will not always be accepted.
Honestly I don't really care if this handful of gays wants their own school. Let them have it if they want.
Historically Black colleges also exist like Grambling and Spelman and no, I don't see anything wrong with it. People are going to segregate themselves if they want to. Rich people segregate themselves into rich neighborhoods, Black people (often by force of economics) segregate themselves into their own communities, and so goes it with all kinds of racial, class, and ethnic groups.
To me, it is to the detriment of the person who insists on only "being around their own kind" and if they choose that route, so be it. I can't and don't care to force people into doing something they don't want to do. That's what our supposed freedom is about. People need to learn consequences of their own actions on their own instead of everyone trying to hold their hand or steer them in a direction they think they should go in. Experience is the best teacher...let 'em go to a gay school and be shocked at how unprepared they might end up once their back in the "real world". Who knows, maybe it will help some folks. Who am I to judge what is right for someone else? We all deal with life relative to our experiences and situations.
Imagine if you were born a dwarf. Everyone around you is of normal stature, and you are the only dwarf in your family, school, and city for that matter. The only person that will ever understand the problems and issues unique to being a dwarf are other dwarves. Am I mad that they have an association called the "Little People of America" because I am not a dwarf? Do I think they should just get over it and let regular people into their association? NO! That's their shit and if it helps them in a society that is unsympathic to their needs, let them have that support system.
On a side note: if you don't think there are all "white" high schools....you're trippin. Yea technically they can't ban people of other races, but that doesn't mean there aren't other ways of preserving the "whiteness" of communities and schools by making it thoroughly miserable for anyone of color trying to integrate. It may be against the law, but it still happens and there are loopholes. There are all white communities all across the U.S. There are also all straight and all rich communities. Those people who don't fit the mold sometimes feel alienated.
