2. I don't give a shit whether someone is gay or not.
Seriously, I don't care.

3. My favorite TV show is "Will and Grace".
That makes me gay-friendly.

4. The whole "gay high school" thing....
It's all being blown out of proportion. Milk High School exists as a haven for students who have been attacked or threatened in other public high schools.

It's not a segregation issue, or a "special treatment" issue. It provides a place for those who might not live through high school if they're lumped in with homophobes.
