and sadly...

This was too not funny not to post. I understand the whole religious freedom, freedom of speech thing, and everyone is entitled to their beliefs and opinions. But if you're going to have a law aimed at trying to prevent bullying and violence in schools, it would make sense that it targeted the things children get bullied and beat up for. Those things are facts - they are not beliefs, opinions, or political agendas. Children are getting beat up for, among other things, their sexual orientation, real or perceived. Those things need to be said, to be stated, and not just glossed over because some people are uncomfortable talking about them. No kid deserves to be beat up, bullied, and sometimes killed because someone thinks they are gay.
