GLSEN

GLSEN receives federal grants from goverment to help protect and secure gays, homosexuals, bisexuals etc. so they feel safe at school and in the community. "The Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) announced today an annually renewable grant from the Department of Adolescent and School Health (DASH) at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to increase the percentage of schools that identify and maintain "safe spaces" for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth. During the five-year project, GLSEN will partner with 20 targeted school districts across the country, including the 16 DASH-funded districts, to implement a comprehensive evidence-based program to help keep LBGT students safe and healthy." By the close of the five-year plan, which was funded at the maximum $285,000 annually, GLSEN programs will have reached 14,500 school personnel and 4 million students.

To be 100% honest i am a Catholic and it is definatly a touchy subject of gays in the church however deep down they don't bother anyone and who am I to judge someone based on there sexual preference.  Nobody should have the right to judge anybody except God and I feel that they deserve a right to feel accepted and protected just like anyone else. However, i am not for all that protesting and causing a scene in the street and rallys i think that is a bit much.  I prefer they keep it to themselves and life their lives.  It seems like they want attention when they act like that.  However, I think this is a good thing because I have seen people getting abused and bullied because of there sexual preference and thats not right.  People should be able to live the life they want without having any fear.
