Let me start by directly proposing an alternative: the school refers them to a GLBT counselor and or support network, which does this sort of thing all the time and has expertise in it.
Fair question, any suggestions for areas that don't have something like that? If there's something of that nature within a good 40-50 miles of where I'm at, ferex, it's bloody well hidden*.
*Which is probably a good idea re: physical safety, honestly.
S'another one of the cases that pings me oddly, I think. There's days that I wish sexual orientation, hetero or not, just wasn't on the map. It doesn't seem to actually have any impact (in and of itself; other peoples reactions, on the other hand...) whatsoever on most social interactions (especially meaningful ones, like say, work.). There's nothing
categorically different between most (not intrinsically harmful) sexual preferences re: moral code, work ethic, affability, etc. Only thing it seems to dictate is what you fuck, to put it bluntly, which doesn't come up in day-to-day public situations very often (Even less often without violating public decency laws.).
Sometimes I just wish people would get their bloody nosy selves out of everyone else's bedrooms, and keep their own doors closed (figuratively, of course. They want want a house-wide doorless orgy, that's fine, so long as it's not a matter of public issue.).
Quick E: Just to make it absolutely bloody clear, I'm
not saying something asinine like "gays should stay hidden." Just that, yanno', maybe what we (regardless of sexual preference) screw is under a
bit too much social scrutiny.
