I want Versace school uniforms too.

I find this whole thing about opening high schools exclusively for Gay students profoundly disturbing. Now of course I'm delighted that gay students might finally be able to enjoy an educational environment free from persecution and physical abuse, I'm tickled every color of the rainbow. But what about the rest of us! I just keep thinking of my high school days. I can't imagine my life had there been a separate school for gay students. I would have lost half my friends, and the school would have lost all the people who made that shit-hole vaguely interesting or remotely tolerable. I can't even imagine the horror of daily life filled with nothing but knuckle-headed straight people. Think about it. If you have a school population that is comprised of gay kids, and the threatened, narrow-minded straight kids who like to emotionally and physically abuse the gay kids, and you remove the gay kids... who is left? Bigots who like to beat up gay kids, that's who. What a nightmare! Who the hell want's to go to school with those people?

All I'm saying is if you're going to have a separate school, please, please let a few of us straight kids in. Please? Don't leave us with 'them'.
