That's not the point CJ. if a person's safety is at risk the schools should do their job and protect their students. What about students who aren't gay whose safety is at risk? Where do they go? Don't go separating the victims.....why not pull the bullies out and put them in a special school?

good idea technick, why don't they do that?
have a think about who the bullies are ... usually football team, usually the biggest revenue generator for the school. popular kids, attractive kids, rich kids etc ... all 'valuable' to a school community.
I can't believe, as a human being - nothing to do with your sexuality - that you think its better for kids to drop out of school or be beaten up than it is to give them an opportunity to learn somewhere they would be nurtured ...
If there was a school for fat kids - what would be the weight cut off? 10 pounds overweight? 20 pounds overweight? There are already schools for black kids, even if they aren't officially labelled as so ... There are schools for kids who are good at music, computers, chess etc ... there are schools for kids with learning disabilities ... there are schools for kids with down syndrome and schools for kids who are deaf.
How is a gay school different from a chess club or a sporting team where people with similar interests get together to learn about and live life?
People group together based on their interests in life - it happens as adults so what's wrong with it happening as a teenager?
What about san francisco or oxford st sydney? Gay people live, work and play in segretated communities all the time ...
THAT'S LIFE! Not being forced to do something that is harmful to your life or counter productive to your happiness.
You seem to WANT people to be put through hell just to prove some stupid point about everyone being the same ....
newsflash - we aren't all the same ...
