Apparently, it's being discussed... My question is, is it really a good idea? As much as I hate when people of our community are picked on and poked fun at, will it really stop the pain or just make it worse when they're out? I'm a senior, so it does not affect me much, but I do not think it is a good idea at all... In the long run, it will not prepare them for the real world. I have dealt with my coming out and have developed a strong backbone due to it. I think this is an awful idea. First a high school, then a college, then what? Our own state? Our own country? I do not find this right at all. I feel like this is an attempt at segregation. I have no idea why anyone woulld fight for this. It would be like fighting for segregation of blacks and whites again.
This is ridiculous. Please share your answer and explain... Sigh...

Segregating them only encourages the idea that they're different to straight people. Its a stupid idea.

it just exposes them more to others, making them likely for more abuse.

it sounds like an ok idea at first until you realise that these people are being raised in a bubble and are most likely going to come out ill-equipped to deal with a world that is a heterosexual majority that is, in many ways, deeply prejudiced against them.

yeah, but they'll also be very unsure of the life after high school. they'll never meet anyone else who went through the same stuff as them.
and you used it wrong. it's "their." spell correctly before you post on my thing, please.

That's segregation. Also if they had their own school, they would be an easy target for terrorists/religious extremist groups.

segregation in and of itself is not a bad thing, it is the context of why they are segregated that determines it. you wouldn't say that separating a prisoner from gen pop to at sig would be a bad thing if it protected that prisoner from harm.

Well, true. However, they will be getting out of high school in about four years. They will not be prepared for the real world...

yes, i am not disagreeing with that, i am saying that simply saying "segregation" is not a valid criticism.

There are actually schools like this already. Harvey Milk High School states:

"We envision a school where all students are challenged to question the world around them, to develop healthy, personal identities, to participate in meaningful civic and social experiences that will allow them to formulate and realize their educational and career goals"

I don't actually see why its any different to schools where they allow in only one religion. Everyone here seems to be making out that people only socialise in a school setting. I go to an all Jewish school, but I also mix with people outside of my school and my religion. Also people naturally surround themselves with people who are like them, like the same hobbies, the same music etc. Just because people go to a GLBT school it doesn't mean they will be unaware that other people exist. In fact maybe it will make it easier for them to ask the questions about what life will be like once they leave school and in fact leave them better prepared.
