People shouldn't have to hide their sexuality just because other people have a problem with it.

I'm glad that charges are being pursued - that was a pretty damned severe assault and the kid deserves a harsher punishment than three days suspension for it.

Great , but if he wants to stay out of trouble he should keep his mouth shut. Being gay is not ok is an opinion that majority of people share, especially in his age group, and he should respect it.

Why should he respect other peoples bigotry? They're the ones with the problem, not him.

Well, hes the one that got beaten, and mommy wont be there all the time to watch out for him, so it would be best for him to keep his gayness to himself if he doesn't want to get beaten again

Ah I see how that works. So if a catholic kid is beaten up by a non-religious bully or a believer of any other religion, then it's his fault for being catholic and expressing it so he'd better just shut up about it. 

I really do hope you never have a gay kid yourself.

Its not its fault for anything, but if he wants to avoid further beatings he should stay quiet about being catholic, yes, andaround the people and environment that hates catholics, but that's a very shallow example since gayness really isnt much tolerated in the world, catholicism is, i never heard about catholics being persecuted in todays world.

As for your last sentence, I hope so too lol :D

My point is kids shouldn't be forbidden to express whatever they want to express. They're kids and if you're start repressing the youth then that's a really fucked up way to look at the world.

Actually homosexuals are starting to get much more toleration around the world, especially on European countries. It's only in the countries with a lot of religious intolerance that their situation hardly improves, but that's bound to change anytime soon, whether you like it or not. 

My last sentence was more of a pity sentence for the potential kid, rather than you. Though I admit, I do find it curious if a person like you does have a gay kid since I like to see real life cases of people having to eat their own words xD.
