Violence, bullying and harassment are the rule and not the exception in America's schools. According to GLSEN's 2003 National School Climate Survey,
4 out of 5 LGBT students hear homophobic remarks often in their schools.
39% of LGBT students report being verbally or physically assaulted, often with a weapon and transgender students reported physical harassment 30% more than students that identified as lesbian, gay, or bisexual.
Nearly 1 out of 3 LGBT students skipped school in the past month because they were simply too afraid to go.

I was always bullyed and I wasn't out then. So, the impact of being gay in a school that bullying is a everyday thing can cause a problem ...violence.
There are alternative schools for GLBT students just they are hard to find.
The problem is serious enough . The impact of youth effect : 80% and thats in texas alone....

It's not all GLBT, it's every one who never fit in. Bullying happens to every one, and in every school. I have many straight friends who were harrassed or assaulted. Some thing has to be done about it, not just for gays but any child who goes to school
