14 year-old kid stands up for gay rights—good for him! He draws a brilliant point about his city being the home to the KKK. Guess it makes sense that the school board hates gays.inothernews:dederants:totalfilm:azurefalls:dimitygirl:Fourteen-Year-Old Michigan Student Awesomely Stands Up for Suspended, Gay-Defending TeacherThe world needs more people like this.Read more on the story here: http://www.ontopmag.com/article.aspx?id=6880&MediaType=1&Category=26PLZ RE-BLOG.If the unscripted words of a 14-year-old boy don’t change your mind about things, then there really is no hope for you.Haha—wait—so I should automatically trust the words of a passionate 14 year-old? Uh, I’m not going to do that. George W. Bush has the education of a 14 year-old and the passion of this kid. Does that make him right? Also, I think it’s much easier for a kid to stand up for something like this because 1) he has less to risk and 2) he isn’t fighting against a lifetime of indoctrination. All that aside, the kid is right. But I came to that conclusion after listening to his words, not his passion or his youth. Azurefalls (quoted above) is right—not only do we need more kids like this, we need more adults like this.Let’s try and work out what the actual threats to our livelihoods and let things like “who you sleep with” and “who you pray to” remain private (or at least personal). We should only go after enemies that have harmed us in some way. In closing, I would like to add that it’s quite sad that the only idealists left in the world seem to be children.
