"Imagine walking down the halls in a new school. You’re wearing this season’s most popular shoes and a bracelet that your best friend from your last school made for you. Then someone bumps into you, you’re sent flying into a locker. “Nice bracelet, fag,” says the culprit. His friend chimes in: “The Bible doesn’t approve of fags like you. We don’t want you in our school."
