If you're telling me that a majority of kids today think picking on a kid because he's gay is alright, or that they'd turn their head the other way when someone did it, I'm calling bullshit.
The media promotes outlier instances of intolerance. They are not the rule. And they certainly aren't a basis for legislative changes.

I have no idea where or when you went to high school, but what you describe is nowhere close to what my school was like.
As for the nephew I referenced, he's in high school now. He lives in an area heavy in evangelicals -- you know, the "Jesus loves you, unless you're a fucking fag" kind of people.
