Y'know, if I was a teenager living in NYC -- and I've so far set foot in NYC only once, so the rest of this post is pure baloney, but anyway -- I bet I'd give some serious consideration to suddenly declaring I was gay (or maybe just "questioning") so I could go to that new all-gay high school. Cuz, y'know: guaranteed bully-free study environment. Nobody with the bully gene would willingly attend the school that is so gay that it is actually the gay school for gays. They'd just as soon attend St. Dorkwad's School for Dweebs. Which, in, fact, this school may soon become, if enough kids are thinking what I'm thinking, and treat it as a general haven for the picked-on, no matter what the motivation. Interesting.
I am now giggling while thinking about what this school might resemble in five years, but I shall say no more. (Look for it as a setting in a future novel of mine. Uh-huh.)
