In today's politically correct climate full of protected minorities and perpetual victim groups... yes.

I always laugh when I see one of those celebrity anti-gay bullying videos telling the victims not to worry and that "it gets better", because for the vast majority of bullied kids out there who AREN'T homosexuals and who are bullied for all kinds of common reasons like being fat, poor, socially awkward, or just plain skrawny or easy targets, etc, often times it doesn't get much better for them throughout life.

If the video showed a kid whailing on some other random kid who wasn't gay, this story wouldn't get nearly the attention it is for the victim being gay.

The reason why you it gets such attention is because, due to anti-gay feelings which are common in that part of the world, you can't help but wonder if the bully would've gotten only a 3 day suspension if he had beaten up a non-gay kid. And believe it or not, but people actually grow out of bullying people because they wear glasses or are fat (kids can pick on anything), but people don't grow out of homophobia (or racism).

So we are just presuming that the bully would have had a more severe punishment had the victim not been gay? Yes it may seem presumable but what evidence do we actually have that this is the case?

The best way to find out if it's true or not would be to check out the school's history regarding similar issues (when the victim was not attacked for being gay).
