i think its a good idea to have the gay school, but then again, it is a way of not dealing with the problem of homophobia in schools. i'm not gay, but i have gay friends and they do get mocked for being gay, and its wrong. oh yeh, in amerikkka, you are not allowed in the boy scouts if you admit to being gay, which disgusts me. i had a great time in beavers, cubs and scouts when i was younger, and i know its contributed to who i am now, and to deprive young people of this just because their sexual orientation is not 'socially acceptable' by the vast majority is awful.
Sad to hear about your friends getting bullied, it shouldnt matter if they are gay but children can be very cruel (especially in a group), i used to have a deformity where i could not put the heels of my feet on the ground as my achilles tendons where not long enough so i was called gay, fairy and moonwalker! i used to get beaten every day at school until i was 12 when i had them operated on which correct it nearly 90% and the bullying stopped.
But it took an operation to stop the bullying, you cant do anything about being gay you have to live with it, perhaps children and adults need to be educated about this then they might understand..
A gay school will not help matters in the long run it comes down to understanding, which will not happen if they hide them away in another school
Gay children not being allowed in the boy scouts.. only in america
