Students tried to push lesbian classmate off cliff

I can't imagine the trauma this girl went through.

" Amazing that while thousands of students honored the Day of Silence, two straight students in Kentucky forcibly took a lesbian student to a park, beat her up, and tried to push her off of a cliff. All because she's a lesbian.

The victim, 18-year-old Cheyenne Williams, managed to escape (and film the incident on her camera phone), and the two girls have been arrested and released on $25,000 bond. (Ed. note: A third girl has also been charged, but her name has not yet been released since she's under 18.) But if there's anything that puts a punctuation mark on how absolutely pervasive and widespread bullying is in the classroom, it's this story."

My high school years weren't perfect and I went through SOME harassment for being gay but nothing to this effect.

Update: I see another thread has been made for this.

wonder why I want to emigrate to Canada once my spouse graduates from school. At least the Canadians see hate speech for what it is and have largely outlawed it. I don't give a damn about the free speech rights of those who advocate murder. Nothing happens in a vacuum. You can believe these teens heard nothing but hate towards GLBT people from their parents and their churches.
