My thanks to Brody and his blogsite for posting this one:

The "It Gets Better" campaign would be something Hillary Clinton takes to heart, she's a mother. To step up like this shows a great deal of interest and concern on her part about the LBGT children in this country.

This also challenges those in power to do something, get off their asses and change the way things are done in our educational system. It is touted that 45 states have some form of legislation to prevent bullying in our schools, it is now time to enforce the rules before one more death appears in the news.

Hillary has said her piece and these words are most welcome. It behooves the President and Michelle Obama to stand up and make this a priority in their lives. Their children have Secret Service protection, where is the defense for the rest of our youth?

and this article is only more proof to validate my thoughts.

How can teachers justify sitting by as a child in their class is bullied??? It only shows that too many teachers are unworthy of the job, no surprise there.

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
