Although it is worth noting the story has taken a depressing turn for the worse.

That's sp upsetting. He orginally said he had so much support from his fellow classmates and now they are turning on him :(. 

This is a by product of the refusal by the school refusing to run the story, and thus it get interprited as 'endorcing homphobia.'  Any endorcement or refusal has more sway than people realize.  For example, but the US Supreme Court throughing out parts of anti gay DOMA and Prop 8 it has helped gay right not only in the USA, but also of the rest of the world.

Yes, it has given the school a bad name - but blaiming the kid is wrong, should be blaiming the staff that made the decision.

And as far as religion.  I don't think I have seen a single anti-gay person (save one here who claims to be an athiest) on VGC that hasn't justified it by Christiany.  But it also shows they do not understand the bases of their religion very well.

Funny indeed, considering Jesus ran around the desert with 12 other guys and one woman. 

I guess you haven't run into any of our local russians yet.

Or our local evolutionary psychologists/biologists.
