Oh, So That's What Causes School Shootings...

There are times that you wonder if these groups are really agent provocateurs for social conservatives. The Gay Straight Alliance website has this amazing excuse for murder at the bottom of it:

WITHOUT GSA ACCESS, STUDENTS ARE FORCED TO SIMPLY KILL CLASSMATES WHO TAUNT & BULLY - SHOOTING, STABBING AND POISONING ARE THE COMMON FORMS OF RETRIBUTION. FAR TOO MANY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS LIKE BULLYING CHILDREN TO THE POINT WHERE RETRIBUTION AGAINST CLASSMATES AND FACULTY IS ONLY OPTION TO REDRESS RELENTLESS HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN MANY REGIONS. SPECIOUSLY-NAMED "PRO-FAMILY" LEADERS ARE CHILD MOLESTERS WHO MAKE MONEY STIGMATIZING HOMOSEXUALITY TO SILENCE GAY VICTIMS; EVERY 2 MINUTES IN THE USA ANOTHER GLBT AMERICAN DIES AS A RESULT OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS

Oh yes, all caps makes it so much more persuasive!

I do not doubt that bullying plays some part in causing some of the violence in schools. I do not doubt that there are schools when homosexuals get bullied. But nerds get bullied too (I speak from experience), as do kids who wear glasses when no one else is wearing them yet (I speak from experience), as do smart kids, and slow kids, kids of all sorts who are "different."

There's no question that a lot of schools have failed to do enough about bullying--but I don't believe for a second that "FAR TOO MANY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS LIKE BULLYING CHILDREN." They sometimes lack the will to do much about it, or do not realize the extent or the seriousness of the problem. Realistically, if the values of the kids are that bullying is okay (as is unfortunately quite common), there's a limit to what school administrators can do.

But this notion that if school districts don't allow "Gay-Straight Alliance Clubs" then gay kids have no choice but murder is essentially making excuses for murder. And oddly enough, for all the school shooting incidents that I can recall reading about, I can't remember ever seeing homosexuality mentioned as a factor.

Pro-family leaders are child molesters? Not, "Some pro-family leaders" or "many" or even "disproportionately." Fascinating. If any of them claimed that "homosexuals are child molesters," without any qualifiers or limiters, that would be clear evidence of homophobia. What's this?

EVERY 2 MINUTES IN THE USA ANOTHER GLBT AMERICAN DIES AS A RESULT OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS

That's 30 an hour, 720 a day, 262,800 a year. Huh? What kind of "human rights violations" (other than murder) cause 262,800 homosexual Americans to die each year? That's about 16 times the number of all murders, and more than eight times the suicide rate. Isn't it wonderful to be able to just make up numbers as you wish?

You know, we all need to believe that our website is valuable, but someone is pretty arrogant when they write:

Gay Straight Alliance
Welcome to the Gay Straight Alliance portal, one of the most educational places on the web updated daily and dedicated to each person who strives for human rights.

Oh yes, definitely in the top 10% of educational places on the web, without question--and especially educational about how often homosexual Americans die of human rights abuses.

UPDATE: One of the gay sites says that the website above isn't an official gay organization site, and isn't connected to the Gay Straight Alliance clubs. The domain name is owned by a person who has a number of gay websites, so it doesn't appear to be a false flag operation.
