FWIW, I also think it's not a very good idea to have a special school, but for exactly opposite reasons -- segregating the kids just reinforces to them, and more importantly to the straight kids, that there's something fundamentally wrong and different about being gay, and that it's ok to exclude them from mainstream society. I think it's more important to spend time and resources educating the mainstream that being gay is just like being blond or green eyed or left handed or what have you -- it's a characteristic, but it doesn't define a person or their worth.
I agree. I wanted to say something like this yesterday, but didn't have the words. You have put it so elegantly.
