Remember when Biden was taken to task for saying making fun of gays happened 5 years ago [View all]

and people would look the other way. Well here is an article from last month.

https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2019/06/14/mother-arrested-for-confronting-sons-homophobic-bullies/?fbclid=IwAR2UvyJpslb7bSleu6pB96NLxzzhMFOAUdXy9XJi6xCG_Tqw-rMOAiB5Urg

She claims the bullies called her son “gay” and “stupid,” but that her concerns were dismissed by the school.

The mother entered the school without permission and confronted a group of third grade children, as well as a teacher.

Beforehand she posted a video on Facebook saying she was going to the school, which prompted someone to alert the police.

Rathburn said, according to Fox 32: “He was told that he was ugly, that he was stupid, nobody cared, and he was called gay, he was cussed out, and when he reported those things he was told to ignore it.” She claimed the school had told her the behaviour was “boys playing rough.”

She also claimed that the treatment of her son became violent, and that bullies threw him off a sliding ladder by his neck and hit him with a computer

end of quote

last month. Oh and at the bottom of the article a mention of child who killed herself after being bullied for being gay. So please, please spare me the it doesn't happen crapola.
