I agree. I think something needs to be done before anything terrible happens here. Well said Jenny.

Thanks, Meka. It all just kind of.. came bursting out, I guess. I kind of rambled, but I definitely meant every word. You're our prez so we operate on your command! We should all get together for brain-storming something this week?

Definitely! We should definitely take some time during the meeting to talk about this and figure out what steps to take. I, for one, will not stand for bullshit like this in our home.

I hear that, girl! I'll start bouncing some ideas around and write down anything I can think up, and then we can run it down properly at the meeting and go from there.

Like I said to Sera down below, maybe we could work in cooperation with the pride union kids? Might be interesting.

That would be really cool! It would be nice to get their perspective on things.

For sure, I'll see about getting them involved asap then. :))

tl;dr. If someone fucking kills themselves, we're probably better off. Gay or not.

That's your opinion, I guess. At least you're not targeting anyone specific, you just hate everybody.

I don't know if you knew this but yesterday was National Coming Out Day so maybe we could organize something for that on campus sometime this week? Just for people to get together, have a place to talk where we can try to figure out something, something besides just kicking his sorry little ass. It's one thing to feel the way he does but its another to go posting it all over school. You're right there has to be some kind of disciplinary action against things like this. I think Student Council needs to definitely stand up and take the lead. Enough is a Enough!!

[Private to Jenny]
Thanks:)

[Private to Student Council]
I didn't know, actually. Maybe we could work something out with the pride group, you're in it, right? It could sort of be like, a co-op project or something.

And although I know who you're talking about, I won't name any names, because it's so much more than him. It's disgusting to realize that he's part of a surprisingly large percentage of people with that disgusting opinion. He's an jerk, but he's like.. nothing in the scheme of it. Shutting him up would be too easy; we need to shut them all up, y'know? It's time to do something. That's why I wanted to be on the council, to make a difference, however we could.

[Private to Sera]
You're welcome? But for what?

[Private to Student Council]
Yeah I'm in it, I'm sure we could organize something like that. You should join too? We could use an advocate like you?

That's what I mean, we have to think bigger. I'm sure people wanna see him hurt but it's not really gonna change anything in the long run. The answer to violence and hate is not further violence and hate. You're right though, just how many people still think and feel that way, its absolutely disgusting. There's no other way to describe it.

[Private to Jenny]
Nothing the world just needs more people like you, that's all.

[Private to Student Council]
I dunno, I'm in a lot of clubs already, but I could see about it? If you really think I'd fit in? I don't know if a wishy-washy bisexual deserves to be friends with people with genuine sexualities-

Exactly. We're going to do something about it, or as much as we can, because standing by and letting it happen is out of the question. I'm already getting some notes and things together.

[Private to Sera]
Oh.

Well, thanks. That means a lot actually.. so seriously, thanks. I was just saying how I felt, that's all.

I've been brainstorming too, I don't have much yet, just trying to jot down a few ideas before student council actually gets together.

You'd fit in just fine, it's open to anyone gay, straight, bi, trans doesn't matter, we don't discriminate:). You're welcome whenever and I'm sure the other members would agree.

No problem I meant it. You're a really good person.

Same. I've got a few things down, but mostly I need to do a bit more research first.

Maybe I'll come by & check you guys out then. And maybe we can pimp you all out a bit if we do end up having a vigil, this might be good for your membership level!

You are too, you know. I'm sorry I haven't been acting like it lately.

Yeah hopefully you're right, we could use a few more members.

Thanks. It's okay, really I shouldn't have kissed you like that.

... I shouldn't have liked it.

It's okay. We're cool now, right? It's definitely okay.

Yeah we're cool:D

Kay, good.

I agree 100000%. Maybe we could do an awareness week? Sell support bracelets and hold a vigil for all those poor kids? We should have a meeting and set something up with the pride union.

Bracelets is an amazing idea! Something flashy, maybe in the same style as my epilepsy awareness bracelets. Like this or these? I think we should donate the money to something cool, like a.. idk, a youth shelter or something. Or youth groups in the city? I'll look into it and at the meeting we can see what we have to choose from.

I think Sera is going to talk to the pride union, and then we can go from there. But I'm sure they'll be onboard for a vigil. Any decent person would be, really. Now the question is, how many decent people are going to stand up with us?

I really like the bracelet idea too.

And I also just came across a few more stats that I thought maybe we should consider.

~ Twenty-eight percent of gay students will drop out of school. This is more than three times the national average for heterosexual students.
~ GLBT youth feel they have nowhere to turn. According to several surveys, four out of five gay and lesbian students say they don’t know one supportive adult at school.

That said..
I think it's important that we get the teachers involved as much as we can too. For one to implement policy since we can't do it all on our own but also even just one teacher that people can talk to. Somebody they know they can trust and can go to if they're having any problems.

I think listing the facts on a poster might be a good idea, to get the awareness out there. We could do a bleak design, list the facts, and then have the date and time for the vigil at the bottom, and mention something about it being for people who want to change these sad stats.

And I think having the faculty involved is an amazing idea, and I'm sure some of them will be willing to help us out. But a central rep would be really great. The question is, who?

And another thing, what do you guys think we should do for the vigil? I think it'll be pretty boring if we all just stand around. We should be remembering, but also celebrating who we are they were. Maybe we can get some 'it gets better' speeches from people, or performances with music, or.. whatever people wanna do. Maybe like a get-up-on-stage and be yourself type of thing? Sound plausible?

Well said, Jenny. And much more eloquently than I ever could have said it.

Thank you, Quinn. I tried to keep it as diplomatic as I could even while losing my cool.
