Yesterday was the first day of school at Harvey Milk High, the first gay high school in the country, that is if you don’t count the one in Fame. There were about a dozen protestors demonstrating in front of the school, yelling out good, Christian things like ‘God hates fags.’ To which the gay kids replied, ‘God hates your outfit.’ Personally, I’m against gay high schools; good-intentioned segregation is still segregation, and it’s wrong. But you have to wonder at the mental health of someone who would fly all the way from Topeka just to scream insults at a bunch of vulnerable kids.
