No, the bully is a bully due to his home life, perhaps beatings from older siblings or father's....girls thinking they are it in a gang perhaps..basically the come in all shapes and sizes...but this is primary school age...and there is only one or two bullies each year..and they will always be bullies.


The bullied kid will be bullied by the bully because he or she is the only kid at school that has spoken up about his dad being mum or anything else that makes him stand out from the norm to the bully.

They ain't helping **** imo.

Granted - most bullies are bullies because they have crappy lives, and might not actually care if someone is gay, but is using as an "excuse" to target someone.

But it's not just about curing bullies. It's about making people who might otherwise see homosexuality as wrong or sinful realise there's nothing wrong with it.
