Here is a positive step for each of us to take in making schools a bit safer for LBGT students. Timmy, and our consciences, press us to do everything we can do. Perhaps this step will enable you to save a young life. It will cost you $20 but is probably the best investment you will make all year. Please check this out and respond.

I just hit my twitter account and my facebook page with this. Added the hashtag #LGBT to make sure it gets picked up. There are tweet buttons etc at the top of the page

Thanks Paul for posting that link. In my building the whole music wing is a safe space. There are at least two other teachers in the building whose rooms are also safe space posted. My collegue who teaches chorus is a lesbian (I teach band), so we have a very strong commitment to the non-bullying of gays in our building. She is more out than I am, but the kids know they can talk to either of us with their concerns.

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
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
