I love this site..............in this thread is proof we can "talk" about subjects that make both sides uncomfortable. Through this dialogue we can solve problems. This thread is proof of that !

I honestly think the problem starts with how we treat people and the response from society over bullying. A few years ago my husband and I had a nephew who was bullied for wearing an article of clothing from his favorite sports team both while waiting for the school bus and while on the bus. He told his parents who reported it to the school. The schools response was he started it by wearing that clothing and that he should be punished because it wasn't fair to the kids in the neighborhood who can't afford the same things.
We need to stop blaming the victims of bullying with the they must have started it by what they were wearing, how their hair was styled, where they were standing attitudes.

Uh, I'm sorry...uh....what??!?!?!?! That was my first thought reading this. What in the world was that school thinking!?!? I am so sorry for your nephew, and whoever had that response at the school needs to be fired posthaste!

@DisneyKevin and @highlander357 just proved that a reasonable discussion about this issue can be had.

No shouting, no name-calling, no overblown rhetoric. Intelligent, well-stated points of view. It can be done.

Kudos to both.

I listen to the podcast frequently and now with a long commute, really look forward to the podcasts! This episode, was simply my favorite. We all thought of the Dis Team, cast members, etc. But, I felt like I was listening to a conversation with my close friends. I cried, more than once, in traffic.

The discussion was one that needs to happen in this country.

You're too cute Mike!! Happy pride day!

Did you see the cop in the UK who proposed to his boyfriend in uniform at the pride march?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if I weren't married, and you weren't gay....

You know Mike, that is really touching. It is great that whomever we are, we can show solidarity against fanatics and terrorist and unite to show that what you are doesn't matter, it is who you are that matters.

thanks @pjweaver it means a lot - and I'll be honest it feels like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders as well.
