4. This is now big news... Olbermann will have clips of this against

John McCain's irrational positions.

Look for something on here tomorrow..........I'm sure someone will put it up, featuring Dan Choi, and both McCain's contradicting each other about bullying.

6. I guess she was slapped and called the c-word again

7. I looked over on twitter... and

The tweet (with Cindy's flip-flop on DADT) that everyone is talking about came from @cindyhM1
that is NOT a verified account.
So, I am not so sure that was really Cindy's tweet.

8. How did bullying get to be a "gay" issue?

It didn't start out that way. Lots of people get bullied who aren't gay.

9. by having gay kids commmit suicide at an alarming rate

[BillH76]

10. Actually, more straight kids have killed themselves over bullying.

Of course they were CALLED "fag," etc. But most of them were not gay.

11. note the use of the word rate

yes, a greater number of straight students have committed suicide but given the numbers it would have to be about 15 times as many, it isn't. Gays are at least 3 times more likely to commit suicide than straight students are.
