So their motto is "Neutrality licenses bullying"? Give me a break. No wonder these folks are bullied. Stop whining and stand up straight.

Anti-bullying policies are fine. Just enforce rules against ALL bullying. There is no need to implement any special rules for any 'groups'. All types of kids get bullied for all types of reasons. Simply have a 'no bullying' policy and be done with it. Any 'group' that wants special treatment or rules, is simply trying to get special 'rights' that others won't get. And that is not how it should be.

It truly is tragic that these 5 teens committed suicide... but no more tragic than any of the other thousands of teens that committed suicide last year for reasons other than being bullied for being gay.

The only people looking for "special rights" are the right wingers who think they're entitled to target and bully gay kids, but don't want to get called out or held accountable for their particularly insidious and bigoted motives.

When did kids turn into such babies? Someone makes fun of a tree now and some wimpy kid feels bullied. Its getting ridiculous how much people want to blame their problems on someone else. What if our soldiers at Pearl Harbor quit cause they felt bullied by the Japs? Grow some skin already...
