No, Vast, I said “psychosexual developmental disorder.”

Thank you. I was just reading about a pro-amnesty group that attacked and injured a group that is against illegal immigration and I thought of you.

Our Lord, many years ago gave us the answer for these kinds of issues. It’s called The Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. But of course, we can’t use this as it comes from the Bible and we have to make it more complicated by trying to do the same thing man’s way.

I’m not asking for special laws or to be treated different;y. But if tolerance was taught in schools then this abuse by a teacher may have been prevented. And yes tolerance education should go for not just for LGBT students but for treating all equally.

Vast: Why are gays and lesbians entitled to any more protections than others? What make you so special?

There are laws against these kinds of things and they should pertain to everyone equally. It does not matter how you do sex, what color you are or anything else. We are all equal under the law.

The Republican Party is defeating itself in the long run when it adopts a fundamentalist religious position. If we’re truly a party of limited government, we have to support equality and the bill of rights. Sorry – I know this won’t be popular – but gay marriage is the right and fair thing in a constitutional republic like ours. You don’t have to like it, you don’t have to accept it in your religion, but our limted government does need to make it accessible to everyone equally.

Here is a good reason why tolerance of LGBT students needs to be taught in schools and anti-bullying programs.

A Georgia teacher is under arrest for allegedly putting a “hit” out on one of his students and harassing the student, asking him if he was gay.

Homosexuality is not a psychological disorder and I’m not going to go around the tree with you on that topic again. There are years of research that back that up.
