Obviously, you're going to be hurt if you get bullied/teased/whatever. No one ASKS to get their feelings hurt. They just want to express who they are based on their looks and how they act. I think pride in one's race, sexuality, and gender is GREAT and there's no "taking it too far". Everyone deserves to be treated equally no matter how they look, act, speak, where they come from, etc. There is NO excuse for bullying. Period.

I get where you're coming from, of course it's not an EXCUSE for bullying, but if you're different, you're going to get picked on. That's just how kids are, that's how humans are. If someone dresses and acts drastically differently than everyone else
they should expect to be bullied. That doesn't mean it's right, of course. That includes guys who act like girls -
it has nothing to do with their sexuality but rather their 'gay ' attitude. In the real world, if someone is over the top flamboyantly gay, they ARE going to run into problems, its inevitable. I certainly don't agree with this over the top 'anti bullying' crap lately. Any country that listens to Lady Gaga's ideas about how bullying should be 'illegal' are going to be the pussies of the planet.
I think the teacher should be possibly fired. What I don't think, is that what he said is homophobic, in any way sense or form.
