    • There is hard time for those people are with different ethnics back-ground, colour of hair, who is fat, too tall or too short and many other discriminations there are in the schools.
      It is normal that there are discriminations for gay or bisexual...
      How many times gays discriminate heterosexual??
      Be honest there are some heterosexual that really makes me so proud to be Gay, but at the same time, there are also gays that makes me no proud to be gay.
      Heterosexual are not that different than gays, they love as gays do, they have pain as gays do, some of them are intelligent as some gays are, and at the last some of them are stupid as some of gays are!
      I realised many years ago, but how many people can understand that??!!

      There is too much ignorance around the world and missing Love, this is the real problem!
      If we could Love and respect all the diversity in this World, will be the best step that we could ever achieve!
      Perhaps the time is not mature yet to make this happen...

      P.S. The teenagers of today are much smarter than when we were teenagers, there are thousands adults out there that they still not accept themselves...
      Everyone strives for acceptance!

      P.P.S. To those people that are having an hard time, be strong believe in yourself, be proud of you, and life, will you give to you back the best for you ;-)

      My opinion Thanks for reading.

    • I think this is a really important and valuable initiative. Here in Canada, the amount of bully as a whole in primary and secondary schools has been decreasing, but bullying towards LGBT students specifically is increasing. Bullying someone for being gay or for not fitting into the strict stereotypical straight paradigm is becoming almost accepted amongst students. So gay, lesbian, transexual students have a really rough time getting through school, and this can really help remind, or tell, them that it does end, it does get better, and they will leave school and be able to have a wonderful life full of love, support, and happiness.
