art festival!! and GSA topics/ discussions

over the weekend my, and several other, schools had an art show at a well known movie place and it was alot of fun. there was face painting, school choirs sang, school dances preformed, the bands played, and we as the artist of my high school painted a really awesome picture, sadly i did not take a picture. it was loads of fun to do. i had several friends there and it was really fun. not sure what else to say...oh i know, i should talk about ally week and a few other things. ill start with other things (stuff that was discussed during GSA). i have some topics to think about and if you would like talk to me about them in the chats, i don't care what language i got translators. Okay so first thing, why do you think intolerance exists and occurs. i think intolerance occurs because people are afraid of what they don't know about and because of their lack of knowledge so they treat us for what we are and not for who we are. next, what would be an appropriate way to respond to intolerance.  I think the appropriate way to respond to intolerance would be go up to the person being a jack wad and tell them straight up that what they are doing is wrong and that they should stop, because how would they like it (for example) if someone made fun of them because of what they wear or their style of hair or their speech or something. they cant help what they are. sexuality is the same as race, you cant help it. you cant choose to be gay or straight you just are, the same goes for how you cant choose if you are African, Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Indian, or something else. now if your with friend and they are say it i would do the same thing even if they are joking cause its not funny. last topic how do you think, who would, education about the LGBTQ Community would help stop bullying of the LGBTQ kids and people. Education would definitely help with bullying. education should start around 4th or 5th grade because that's when bullying first arises. if they are told about what being gay is not so much going in depth but at least discussing it then children will be less likely to bully about it. then once they start sex ed since they are being told the "birds and the bees" per-say then they should learn more in depth about LGBTQ's this will greatly decrease bullying because they will see it as being more common and not wrong, now the only issues that will occur will be in private schools and religious schools. well now that we are on the education topic, i live in California and recently a law was passed in July stating that this upcoming January all elementary through high schools are to incorporate gay figures in history. for example Harvey Milk, or The Stonewall Riots, and similar events and characters. Now to ally week. ally week is something that celebrates LGBTQ and their ALLIES!!! what do you know : D so  allies are those who support LGBTQ people. there is something called the Trevor Project and this is a suicide help line for LGBTQ teens its where you can call or use the internet to talk with people who can understand what you are going through and there is always someone there for people to talk to. well thats all i have for today until then : )
