hey if they wanna goto that school they can but i'm sure they are still gonna have problems like every other school.

"Lets point and laugh at the straight kid!"
.... you get the point.

BoCo

Imagine if white students decided they wanted to go to a whites-only, public-funded school....

This is absolute hypocracy for the degenerates on the left and should not have ever been done.

okay, i don't mind gay people or even a gay person marrying another gay person, but a gay highschool? That is ridiculous, how did the city council pass this experiment to separate kids that are gay from kids that aren't. And yes at 14-17 your still a kid.

Here's what some people wrote in after reading this article. Some I agree with and some I don't.

Probably because he/she isn't gay enough...

What about bi-sexual highschoolers? Can they attend the gay highschool?

If the school has both gays and lesbians, it might be a fun place to be bisexual...

If bi's are not allowed, how do you enforce it? "...I'm sorry, Jim, we're going to have to expell you. We found pictures of you with... a girl!!!"

actually i dont really see how they could get this passed.. Civil rights are for races.. this is a life style.. they are gonna spend 3mil in a school for a lifestyle.. a public school? give me a fukin break..

They should have taken that money and given it to kids that need help getting through college.. not a bunch of whine asses that cry out due to injustice.. You dont see the nerds that get beat up cry out for a school.. nor do you see the stupid asking for a eaiser school.

They should do what most people do.. keep their lifestyles to themselves..

the question I must ask is this..

Even if they are straight.. wtf would they care about being "sexual active" or what not.. you should only be in school to learn to make a life for yourself.. and plan for the future.. after that is down should you then try for a relationship.

There is no other excuse for this..

you try telling me that love at frist sight bullcrap.. ill laugh in your face and tell you there is no such thing..

Ill will however tell you I do believe in Lust at first sight.

All I see is yet another group of bleeding heart liberials crying out milking the gov't outta money needed for other things. Just to make several people happy.

Damn gotta love the american dream.

I agree 100%...Go all out and make an individual school for every person with a particular mindset, or don't do it at all.

Regziever

In my eyes they are all the same bull*. gay people is todays black people, some hate them and others fear them simply because they don't understand them. In' my not so humble opinion that is the most ignorant position anyone can take.

To separate gay students from hetrosexual students is simply a clear statement from the goverment that gay people is not equal to hetrosexual people.

That is bound to create problems both for the goverment and for the students of the school. Nothing good comes from ignorance and intollerance.

what about playing grabass in the hallways? theatrical productions should be interesting. when tom brokaw interviewed art buchwald for his book the greatest generation he asked him did you ever experience anti semitism in the marines?buchwald replied 'at first i thought so but then i realised that people werent picking on me ecause i was a jew , they were picking on me because i was an asshole. the point is the more flambouyant andexhibititionist a person is ,they reap what they sow.

Thing is, people are making statements about gay kids being divided from straight kids and so forth. Bear in mind that this is a school that only has room for 140 people. Also bear in mind that this isn't a new thing. The Harvey Milk School has been around since 1984, it's just that this is the first time it gets public funding.

I think it's a bad idea for several reasons, but if someone really feels they can't go to a reular school because they are tormented for their sexuality, it could be a valid choice. That's my 2 cents anyway

So, how does it work?

remiel

the school? It used to be funded entirely by the Hetrick-Martin Instritute (HMI). Now it also receives some funding from the New York Board of Education.

That's all I know

How about schools where only the smart kids are allowed in? Oh we have that already. Then how about schools where only the rich kids are allowed? We have that too.

remiel

we also have schools where gay kids specifically aren't allowed. Namely military schools.

Forget the idea of free will for a moment. Because being gay has nothing to do with free will. NATURALLY, man is <b>NOT</b> attracted to the <b>SAME</b> sex ever! This has been proven by animals. Have you ever seen a gay cat? Have you ever seen a gay dog? Maybe in cases where they can't differentiate between the two. But this is an idea the <i>white man</i> has placed in the minds of people. It is not right to be gay. It is not right to be lesbian. Though I strongly believe in this, this does not mean I hate these people or automatically deem them not human. Because each person has a different attitiude, personality, thoughts, feelings etc. to make them who they are in their own way regardless of sexual preference. In plain terms, being gay is unnatural.

There are still others though who will pursue this and say: What if I don't prefer women, I hate them. They're mean & nasty....yadah yadah. Believe it there are men who feel this way <b>AND</b> aren't even gay. I say to you take up a life of <b>CELBACY</b>. As far as making a high school for gays?! That's crazy! Children are not at the sound age to make that distinction that they are gay and willing to be that way for the rest of their lives. I can see 17 or 18 year old's deciding this but not freshmen or sophmores. They haven't even lived long enough to lose their virginity. This also bad as in terms of being exposed to this concept at too early an age. What the fuck is next? A gay middle school? A gay <b>ELEMENTARY</b> school? A gay <b>PRESCHOOL</b>?!?!

In all honesty, I would like to meet a gay man who was not feminish. Why is that? To be a gay man you must possess feminish qualities? That is absurd. Then are supposed to have "queer" voices, act <i>womenly</i>, giddy, and once again use that obsence accent whenever they talk?? "Ohhhh, be nice!" More and more this sounds like a woman in a man's body! Though, it is because of this information of being self-aware, "male" and "female", that they adopt this mentality. Animals do not know they are "male" nor do they know they are "female" they just know they are alive.

i agree with Halo here. it's wrong to take public funds to fund a private school (it <b>is</b> private...this is segregation all over again)

I agree with politician Long, too: do they want to make schools for other groups of students that, stereotypically, get picked on??

glophead

I would have to agree with this. If homosexuality were natural, aka. genetic, the gene that controls it would never get passed on, thusly making it go out of the population.

On the topic of the school, this to me is just proof that the government us focusing too much on accomidation, and not letting enough assimilation take place.

I agree that seperation will not really be of benifit to anyone in the long run.

Ya, I don't think separation is a good idea... Sure they get picked on, it should happen, but hopefully it'll slowly get better. Seperating them just doesn't sound like it will fix the problem though.
