It is an optional school for students who face and/or fear harrasment at other schools. AFAIK You dont even need to be gay to attend. It is an optional school that has been around for many years, but just recently recieved more $$$ in order to expand and so it has recieved alot of media scrutiny. I think calling it segregation is a bit far-fetched. [/QUOTE]Still I don't think it's a good idea as it is the first move towards segregation. "You don't have to be gay to attend" means to me that parents will send their kids their if
+ they are gay
+ the parents want their kids to learn "tolerance lessons"
+ the parents don't care if their kids classmates are gay or not (which is the way it should be

Yet the parents and kids who do not want gay students at their school would have succeeded in mobbing them out of there.
Well, we're harrassing you. What you're gonna do about it. If you don't like it go to a black, jewish, gay school.
