Buzz, if you have ever been a teacher, you would know that topics like this aren't something that can be avoided. Bullies beating up a kid because he is gay is an issue that you would have to deal with. Can't be avoided.

You can't turn a blind eye to it. What if you had a kid being constantly harassed by other kids in the room because of this and disrupting the learning environment of all the children? Do you remove the gay kid to restore order? No, you can't. You deal with the realities and put and end to the bullying.

Your conviction in your faith is somewhat commendable, but the rigidity is what caused me to quietly walk away from mine.
