Why do gays have to come out? It should just be something people are like, ohh, ok then. They can have there hidden predjiduces. I man imagine if blacks had to paint there skin white and pretend they were white, and tell people they were infact balck, crazy, right?
By the way I found a way to solve the gay marriage debate, beacause the only REAL argument anti-gay marriage activists can make is marriage is religous, so make it so government can't give marriages, only unions, marriage is a title given by religion, I mean that is what marriage is isn't it, a holy union, holy sacrament, and that IS the work of the church right?, so as long as you get a church to marry you you can marry. As far as the hospital visit rights and things like that, that IS a job of the government, right, and does anyone deny that gay rights are civil rights, if the people had the right to take away blacks rights they would have! See marriage is a two part thing, rights regarding the law, the job of the government and religous, in the eyes of whatever, it being holy, the job of the church.

No Child Left Behind
7 Words, .
That is
1 The schools don't get funding for it
2The whole point of it is to get kids to reach a minimum bar, no reach there full potential. so the kids that are ahead don't get any funding for high potential classes or IB/AP/STEP classes, get bored and fall behind.
3If a school fails they are scattered about, so other schools now have these kids, thus there test scores go down.
4Instead of focussing on interesting disscusions, such as mood in writing, history of math, or a different unit to lead into another more important unit schools focus all their attention on what is on the test, which is merely the building blocks, not real life applications, which is overall detrimentall to the students.
Now for how to improve it:
1 focus on improvement, not a minimum bar
2 actully give funding to the schools to do the prep
3 instead of, or addition to the tests have people go in and evaluate the schools, giving advice on how to improve and ussing there input for how to help the school
Luckily I live in a good school district that has plenty of resources, but even it has had to cut down to a 6 hour day, eliminate midde school world language, eliminate a couple of high school language, (luckily) have to only have gym every other day, make the luches worse, cut back on teachers and many other budget cuts.
That is
Piece of s*#t, that has good intentionswhat I think of "No Child Left Behind". Although it has good intentions it does it in the wrong way, so here are the top reasons why "No Child Left Behind" Fails: it's not just me, even in a newsletter mailed out from my school to all the housholds in the district there is a quote from the superintendent, Dr. Peterson in it, "No Child Left Behind doesn't focus on helping all students reach their full potential, merely reaching a minimum bar.", And this was in BOLD, BIG text.

Matt
There is this boy I really like, he has blond hair and bright blue eyes, his name is Matt, he's in all my classess and I'm pretty sure he's gay. First his looks attracted me, and then while gazing at him I noticed somthing, he's gay! He has a fairly high pitched voice, a loose wrist, rolls his eyes, and mainly hangs out with girls, just like me :p! So I think I actully have a chance! It's just a matter of working up my confidence, which so far has failed
Prop 8 and others
Despite Obama winning and the huge gains for the Democrats this was still the most depressing election ever. You have probally heard about how Californains have eliminated gay marriage, yah California! But you might not have heard about simalar measears in Florida and Arizona, which by the way passed! Not to mention the measear in Arkansa which makes it so only married couples can adopt, which makes it so gay people cant adopt, because in Arkansa they cant marry! Just as I thought America was on the right direction....

Coming Out So Far
as far as coming out first I told a girl who was my best friend, she ended up telling other people, so I'm no longer friends with her, I have told my other best friend(boy) a bit latter, he took it just fine and is still my friend. I told a group of girls I'm friends with. As far as my parents, I told my Mom I might be gay and she started balling, never mentioned it since, I havn't even considered telling my Dad, Quote my Dad "All gays should be shot", actully my entire dad's side of my family takes that view.
