In this day and age, unless you're a white, heterosexual male, being yourself isn't exactly a daring feat. And what was this kid thinking, asking another boy to be his valentine when the boy was straight?

Haha. What a joke. No wonder I heard nothing about the Day of Truth. Just look at the second to last line. Christians are hilarious. Though they do make some good points here and there, they have ultimately missed the big point.

I don't know if I did that right, because I can only ever manage to put one quote in the box, but anyway... Liberals basically never come to the defense of a white, heterosexual male. ACLU types always come to the aid of gays, feminists, blacks, hispanics, etc. Not white, heterosexual men.

As for the part about the kid being fifteen, I'm sixteen and I have more sense than that. And I think the other kid might be able to tell if Lawrence was being serious or not (and maybe he wasn't being serious and he did it as a joke, which would be really gross). Again, I don't support what the kid did to Lawrence, and with no doubt, anybody who grabs a gun over something like that needs to be punished. I don't know that I'd say "mentally unstable", just "stupid" and "mean". Some of these words are so overused these days.

That's a bit bigoted and offensive. The Day of Silence was started by students in Virginia as a non-violent protest against intolerance, specifically the "name-calling, bullying and harassment -- in effect, the silencing -- experienced by LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) students and their allies" (Day of Silence Website). It grew in popularity because students, not ACLU-type, California liberals, believed in the Day of Silence and what it stands for. It's still a student-led, international event. And last year's wasn't dedicated to anyone specific, if I remember correctly...

Well, so long as they're against the "bullying and harassment", then I think the shooter had a right to be against the sexual harassment that boy put him through. Flirting, chasing him, etc. That would get on my nerves too if somebody in high heels and lipstick and everything came running after me, and it was a boy. Not saying what the kid did was right, he probably should have just beat Laurence up. And this hate crime aspect of it. Well, people don't murder each other out of love, as somebody said. So that's absurd. People can be quiet if they want to; I don't care. That's one less day for them to carry on about "hate crimes".

What. The. Hell. Last time I checked, people can wear whatever they want in the United States, and asking someone on a date wasn't a crime. Nobody deserves to get beaten up just because they're gay and open about it. Nobody deserves to get shot in the head ever.
