I love these stories! Let’s hope these bullying scenes in schools disappear since the legalization of LGBT marriage & normalization of gay boys in Jr High & H.S. forums throughout the nation & world. Physical & psychological bullying must & should minimize over time, as a result of increased LGBT teen bullying in movies & news media. Growing youths should be naturally acclimated to learn that picking on gay people/kids is wrong, just like any other form of physical violence is. The LGBT element has increasingly been highlighted in movies as a normal, acceptable & common attribute of actors & the characters they portray. Barring any parents citing the Bible unfavorably toward gay kids, its safe to hope for continued equality in the eyes of growing teens.
