How a Canadian School Beat the Bullies

You know how I hate bullies. You know how I believe gay kids should learn martial arts or how to fight...so they can beat the bullies at their game.

Or beat the shit out of them like I did.

But of course there are much much better ways to teach these bullies a lesson.

Like these two kids in Nova Scotia did.











Meet David and Travis ...the heroes of Central Kings Rural High School.

When one of their fellow students was bullied for wearing a pink shirt...and called a fag...they turned the whole school into a sea of pink.

Two Nova Scotia students are being praised across North America for the unique way they turned the tide against a fellow student bullied for wearing pink.
When the bullied student, who has never been identified, walked into school to see his fellow students decked out in pink, some of his classmates said it was a powerful moment.

I bet it was.

Now the story is all over the big gay blogs in the United States...and people are writing in to say "What do you expect ? They are Canadians"

Which makes me really proud to be one too.

I still think that gay kids should learn to defend themselves. But if you can get a whole school to stand up to the bullies that's even BETTER.

I could go on and on about how great I think the kids at Central Kings Rural High School are.

But why not say it with a song?



Hey anyone can be a hero....as Sébastien likes to say.

Just be brave and cool enough to do the right and decent thing.

Like the kids at Central Kings....

That's so awesome what these kids did. True solidarity and showing bullies for the pathetic little cowards they truly are. I'm so proud of these guys.

mmm,i like this,you know what,i am always thinking if all we gay guys STICK together,unite and help each other,the power of us will be incredible.

ur merit...bang on. I actually think our numbers are larger than the "religious right" and we really should be uniting to get those idiots off our backs once and for all. We really could do it, if we wanted had the will, surely, there's enough money in our community to really take them on.

Hi Waterboy!! Yeah I am too. That's the kind of cool stuff my kind of Canada.My fellow hosers can beat their chests over a hockey victory or a mighty dollar...but that's the kind of thing that really makes my heart jump....

Hi Bruce!! yeah isn't it neat? And from Central Kings RURAL High School. Isn't that the BEST??

Hello Aaron...trust you to go around and poop on the party. You incorrigible old homophobe....you should be ashamed of yourself. I mean I hate pink myself...but it was directed at bullies who are the scourge of Canadian children. I know you hate gay people...but surely you don't hate kids as well...Although I did read your recent gaseous emanations about gay marriage...so I guess ANYTHING is possible.
P.S. Stop being so gloomy and ADMIT that you're secretly in love with me... :)

Hi Jay!! Yes he does...and as I've just pointed out he is a bit of a pretender. Although I don't think he is as bad as he makes out to be...and I am determined to lead him to the LIGHT. Even if it takes FOREVER....groan....

Hi Ur Merit!!! Yes you are absolutely bang on. If all the good gay and straight people join together we WILL have a better world.Our power will be incredible...and our evil hatemongering enemies won't stand
a chance... :)

And Waterboy you're right too...but remember we ARE winning. The religious right is much less powerful in North America at least than it once was.They're sinking in the polls. The kids are on our side...like the ones at Central Kings...It's just a matter of time before the bigots crumble to dust..
