What happens when we're all in our special boxes and all free to be segregated and safe. I mean wow this is some sort of dystopia you people are rooting for here.

There is no such thing as a safe school that is bully free. Of you had an entire school with only LGBT students, some of tjose students are still going to be bullied no matter what. The underlying issues to bullyong behavior typically originates at home. The bully seeks validation from peers by projecting their sorrows unto others.
To imply these "safe schools" are free of any bullying is propastorous and delusionally naive.

Actually, yes.
Have you no idea what it's like to be a gifted child or have you never had one in your family you had to end up being an advocate for?

I'm a straight white guy and there was a black kid that always punched me in the arm in Middle School. Then there was a hispanic guy that was 2 grades below the grade he was supposed to be in, and he was the same way. Like all normal kids, we dealt with it, thankfully we never got a safe space.

Are you this easily influenced? This is gay segregation.
Stop with the gay crap already.. this is an invented crisis.. social engineering, stop being influenced by the relativistic garbage propaganda and the tiring gay hype. I'm tired of all you gay attention whores, shut up..
According to bullyingstatistics.org, one of the main reasons that students who are out as homosexuals are more likely to be bullied is due to the fact that it is still considered to be a differing from the norms in a way that many people, including other students still don’t understand. Unfortunately, many still believe that being gay makes you less than human and often proceed to act accordingly.
Here is a listing of a few statistics:-Adolescents who are out as gay or lesbian are up to three times more likely to end up committing suicide because they often believe that the bullying will never stop and come to be convinced that taking themselves out of the world is the answer.
The national statistics for suicides related to sexual identity remains at roughly 30 percent.-They are also around five times more likely to cut classes and/or be truant in their school attendance.
Around28 percent still feel that dropping out of school together is the only answer.
Around 9 out of 10 open LGBT students have reported that they were bullied in some form and around half have reported physical harassment and another quarter have reported being physically assaulted.
Most are reluctant to share their experiences with any adult because of the fear of being accused of being a “tattle tale” or worsening the bullying, about a third of those who have tried to report it to the school authorities have reported that they wouldn’t budge on the issue. Unfortunately, most give up from there and don’t understand that there is almost always another option such as members of the school board who they can also try.
All you people with your rainbows on your Facebook pictures, stop with the pathetic virtue signalling and stop buying into every dumb campaign and struggle these people try to sell you. These people are fake superficial "activists". Fake ideology, fake information, fake struggle. They play it safe, they conform and even oppress.. I wish they were aware enough to be aware of all the irony surrounding their character.

I guess they call it the gay agenda. That's what I'm afraid of..
Homosexual agenda (or gay agenda) is a term introduced by sectors of the Christian right (primarily in the United States) as a disparaging way to describe the advocacy of cultural acceptance and normalization of non-heterosexual orientations and relationships. The term refers to efforts to change government policies and laws on LGBT rights-related issues. Additionally, it may be used by social conservatives and others to describe alleged goals of LGBT rights activists, such as recruiting heterosexuals into what they term a "homosexual lifestyle". en.wikipedia.org...

Are you kidding?
Civil/Equal Rights is not a minority issue. It's every ones issue who cares about equality.
I am not a minority.

I'm not from any state, I'm from the UK and all people here have exactly the same human rights. I'm pretty sure it's like that in the states though too, so that means you must be making things up, or just want extra rights for gays.

That really depends on where and what state you live in. And if that state has LGBT in their discrimination law.
At this time LGBT are only protected in Federal jobs.
Maybe you should learn something before you state incorrect info.
