I think it would be overly simplistic to describe it as “kill[ing] yourself over something a stranger says.” It’s maybe more like “hearing the same thing from all your friends and family, reflected in society at large, and in many cases internalized in your own beliefs.” A lot of trans kids aren’t going to be able to…

Calm yourself. The bill would not have made bullying a federal crime. The person doing the bullying would not have been subject to federal investigation, nor would that person have risked a sentence in a federal prison. None of the text says any of that.

Franken was on MSNBC earlier about it and he said it would have made LGBT kids protected the same as disabled kids and kids of color are protected so if someone were bullying them based on their LGBT status the school would be “forced” to take action under law whereas now many schools will hand wave such harassment…

This bill may not have done much substantially but we now have Congress on record voting to preserve a certain aspect of discrimination in schools.

From a quick skim, it sounds like they were targeting the administrative side of abuse. Stuff like kicking a boy off the football team because he’s gay.

I’m assuming Farrah then sold the teeth on ebay for 1,200.00

I get so depressed when I hear about kids’ savings that mysteriously disappeared when their parents needed money. What a breach of trust. Don’t promise kids more than you can afford.

Is it wierd that I totally forgot that Teen Mom Farrah Abraham was actually a mom?
