NC Family Policy Council - objectively pro-bullying!

I can't wait til they start printing that on t-shirts and fund raising materials.

Not what he's saying. The bill, effectively, says: "No Bullying, period. Even if the victim is gay." His change just removes the second sentence -- it DOES NOT change the "Even if" to "Unless."

I'm sure the only thing acceptable to the NC Family Policy Council is whatever THEY dictate to the state, no matter what the law or constitution of this land guarantees. Just another minority lobbying the state to advance THEIR views as opposed to the views and wishes of the general population. Shame on the legislature for letting these small minded people in the door. Double shame for giving them an ear. The NC Family Council must provide some great steak dinners to have that much of a sway with the legislature.

Couldn't agree more with jayhurst, homophobia is a sure sign of questioning of one's own sexuality.

I get it, there are some reasons that its okay to bully. I hear you. I believe that is anti-American, but I hear you.

Homophobia is a sure sign the homophobe is worried (s)he is homosexual.
