I am straight and I decided to write an article on what I found should be alerted to the world.
Most of you know that sexual orientation is a huge thing for teenagers. Teenagers are often experimenting and trying new things. But, however, some teenagers may actually know their sexual orientation already.
Some teenagers are lesbian, gay, or bisexual. There is nothing wrong with being lesbian, gay, or bisexual.
However, people are against it and will always be. There is no complete "stop" in trying to defeat people who disagree with lesbian, gay, or bisexual teenagers due to moral and or religious reasons.
What is gay bashing? According to Wikipedia -

A "bashing" may be a specific incident, and one could also use the verb to bash (e.g. "I was gay bashed."). A verbal gay bashing might use sexual slurs, expletives, intimidation, or threats of violence. It also might take place in a political forum and include one or more common anti-gay slogans.
Gay bullying involves intentional and unprovoked actions toward the victim, repeated negative actions by one or more people against another person, and an imbalance of physical or psychological power. [1] Similar terms such as lesbian bullying, queer bullying, and queer bashing may also be formed.
In the early 21st century, gay bashing and bullying have expanded to include acts conducted over the Internet, or cyber-bullying, too, and these act can reach audiences electronically across a city or worldwide in an instant, giving them greater propensity for causing considerable harm.

However, should schools across the world allow gays, lesbians, and bisexuals?
Yes, of course. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with education. Students should be afforded an education without harassment. This includes sexual harassment, and bullying.
What should I do if I'm being bullied in-school and or outside of school?
I recommend talking to your school counselor and or administration. You can contact your parents and notify them the situation and circumstances. You can also contact your local law enforcement who can help you.
What if the school is not providing any protection to my rights or safety?
Talk to your parents. If your parents talk to the school and they do not do anything, they're in violation of the law. If your rights and safety is in jeopardy contact your local law enforcement immediately.
Many schools today allow gays/lesbians/bisexuals. But, how?
In the United States - A supreme court case against a school was filed by a student (Jamie Nabozny). He was being harassed all throughout middle school and thought it would go away in high school but it got severe.
If you watch his movie, "Bullied". It is a true documentary based on a teenager (Jamie Nabozny) who has been bullied severely physically, and mentally.
The school would not offer him protection, school officials said "it's a part of being gay". But it really isn't.
How many of you have heard, "That's so gay" recently? Would you go around saying, "That's so black?". No, you wouldn't. So, what makes it different?
How do gay/lesbians/bisexuals differ from the world other than sexuality? How does it affect
your life?
Jamie Nabozny went to court and won his case and sued the school. If you want to read more about his case, google his court case or go to the Supreme Court website.
If you wish to speak to Jamie Nabozny, I'm sure he'll be happy to answer your e-mails if you can find his e-mail address.
If you're in jeopardy of safety - contact your school. They
MUST protect your safety and rights after the Jamie Nabozny's court section. It made the world open up to society.
