Damaging language

Listen up:
The rate at which students use and hear negative language about lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) people is huge. Over half of all students report hearing homophobic remarks often at school.
A lot of anti-LGBT language is said carelessly, and isn’t intended as negative or hurtful. Understand what you’re saying, and think about the potential consequences of the words you choose.

While I completely support the whole freedom of speech thing, I don't think that it's ok to say things that are very hurtful. It's especially wrong to allow children to grow up thinking that it's ok. Check out this webpage, it's pretty awesome. They have started doing commercials on tv as well.
