I dont think that it was the lifestyle, I think it was the harrassment.
I agree. If the powers that be want to protect young homosexuals they will need to teach the adolescents not to hit on hetrosexual males. Just like we teach girls not to be sexually open to dangerous and deviant males.
I agree, too. If he was a straight guy who was harassing a girl, I don’t think the girl would have got into as much trouble for shooting him (however, if it was a girl harassing a guy who ended up shooting her, the guy would have still got in a lot of trouble, cause we’ve got double standards all around). I think that kids should just be taught ‘this is sexual harassment, it’s not acceptable, regardless of gender or orientation’ straight up, maybe in 4th or 5th grade, so when puberty kicks in, they know some boundaries.
And I don’t think it’s them hitting on straight guys that’s a problem, but repeatedly hitting on someone who’s not interested - gay guys generally have pretty good gaydar, but they even make mistakes sometimes, or the person in question hasn’t come out yet. For example, if another girl hit on me, my answer would be “No thanks, I’m straight”. One time to find out if the other party is or isn’t interested is OK, anything beyond that is uncalled for.
