In this school, I want to end bullying. I know so many gay people in the school that go through so much like being called homophobic slurs and etc. I feel like if there are a lot of gay freshmen, I want to give them a place to share experiences and create unity. I've seen lgbt students bullied by straight students because they don't understand the concept of same sex relationships and the idea of other sexualities besides heterosexuality. Most have been raised to believe that it's wrong and to disown children. Some people just aren't exposed to it and when they are exposed to something outside of their norm, the first reaction is "its wrong". Brotherhood and sisterhood is key for us so we can feel safe in our "diverse school". It's so hard for a guy or girl to even date the same sex in murrow as well as anywhere else, let alone displaying affection to one another. I just want to bring some things to light for our future High schoolers so that they can understand we are "diverse" and not so "simpleminded". If I can get at least 500 signatures, we can get things rolling with a panel.
