just plain wrong

Read this..., and don't anyone ever try to tell me that gays aren't still treated as second class citizens in this country.

I have nothing clever to say. I just ask that you send a prayer up to your own God and ask for protection for all the teens suffering through those camps.

EDIT: The link originally led to a MySpace page for a teenager who was being sent to a disciplinary camp for problem children. His problem was that he was gay. It's a private blog now, and a later article in the Advocate covered his release, but I'm not deleting the entry because the camps still exist and the wrongness of it all still infuriates me. (and note that the poor kid seems to have bought into the mythology that being gay is something he needs to learn to repress)
