there isn't a 10-year-old around who comes up with the term "faggot" unless he or she has heard it from probably parents or other elder examples. we just have to make it very clear that this is not acceptable. schoolteachers need to be instructed. schoolteachers need some examples of how to deal with these matters. schoolteachers are also impacted by bullying from the parent, and in some cases in smaller communities, jobs may be on the line, so i think they do need encouragement and protection as well as their pupils. it's a very serious problem partly because we do talk about sexuality today whereas we didn't 50 years ago. we didn't talk about sex at all 50 years ago. today, it's part of the conversation, and kids pick that up, and they know that the most hurtful thing they can say to another kid in school is "faggot" and they say it without even realizing what it means. that, i think, is an enormous challenge. we are not recognizing the problem. we need also to recognize different ways to address this. >> i hope we can be friends.. i view role models as a very, very significant influe

patients beating an effigy of their mothers with a tennis racket, being subjected to ridicule as faggots visiting bathhouses and ordered to be nude with father figures. well, that makes perfect sense. they cure you by throwing you in a room with a bunch of naked men. it's like when your dad caught you smoking and forced you to smoke a whole carton of cigarettes with a bunch of naked men. (laughter) (applause) judge shove reminds us that the evidence of emotional damage caused by gay conversion therapy is based on questionable and scientifically incomplete studies unlikely to satisfy the demands of strict scrutiny. exactly! there's no scientific consensus that with stand the sort of strict scrutiny that stuffing oranges down your pants does.

i heard the word faggot on the play ground when i taught. the teachers were intimidated, they didn't want to be seen to have any empathy because that might reflect on them. it's crazy but that's part of the oppression. when we started to work on the legislation, i tried to channel myself back in the classroom, i taught for a number of years. we're hoping seth's law is the first of many. in addition to their reporting you also have to document, we feel like this is the science of it which, you know, sounds a little sterile when you consider the emotional loss, but that you document each incident as it happens so you have a record and you also look at the climate, the culture, and also the perpetrator. we have a second piece of legislation that calls for the restoretive justice element that people were talking about with regard to bullying, not just lgbt kids but in general. there was a sect committee this year of men and boys of color and that committee came out with a number of pieces of legislation all based on alerting to more programs, ac
