汇泽：请客观公正对待反欺凌法案

13号法案确实没有要在学校设同性恋教育课程的字眼，但是该法案打着反欺凌的旗号，要在学生从小开始接受同性、异性、双性、乃至变性的知识是显而易见的，这也就是反对者许多都不是宗教人士的原因。现在的学校的对同性恋的欺凌有多少？是非常严重？还是凤毛麟角？自由党没有任何数据来说明。既然要制定法案反同性恋欺凌，就应向公众交代该问题的严重性，何必语焉不详。事实上在十来岁的孩子中根本不存在同性恋，因而也无所谓欺凌了。自由党硬要向孩子们塞上反欺凌课程，其实也就是要借机普及性异化知识。这并非是件对社会负责任的事。

Summit urges family and school support for LGBTQ youth
Published On Fri Jun 01 2012

A summit on suicides among queer youth has called for a national prevention strategy that addresses such risk factors as school bullying and boosts community support for groups like gay-straight alliances.

The two-day conference at Ryerson University, which wrapped up Thursday, was prompted by last year’s high-profile suicide of gay Ottawa teen Jamie Hubley, 15, who took his own life after having been bullied throughout elementary school and into high school.

The summit, attended by experts from across North America, was held amid a heated debate in Ontario over the recognition of gay-straight alliances or anti-homophobia clubs in the province’s proposed anti-bullying bill.

“Our school systems remain frozen in time and other forms of public policy stay silent. Everyone is so fearful of backlash from homophobes that we end up failing children and youth in the most profound way,” said panelist Tracey Peter, a University of Manitoba sociology professor.

“Life for many LGBQT youth in Canada is not good at all. It is far, far from good. And telling them ‘It gets better’ is not an adequate response to their situation. It was simply not enough for youth like Jamie Hubley.”

Peter’s own research on queer youth suicides, rare in the field, paints a grim picture of the lives of the society’s sexual minorities.

Her survey of 1,205 first-year University of Manitoba students found 26.2 per cent of queer students had made suicide attempts compared with just 3.5 per cent among their straight peers.

“Put it another way, LGBTQ students were 7.5 times more likely to report a previous suicide attempt,” noted Peter, co-author of the yet-to-be published paper “You Can’t Break…When You’re Already Broken” with University of Winnipeg education professor Catherine Taylor.

Elizabeth Saewyc, the Canadian Institute for Health Research’s chair in adolescent health, said there’s a lack of research on suicides among queer youth.

While queer and straight youth face similar risk factors, the former suffer additional hardship from discrimination based on sexual orientation, as well as what Saewyc called “family-rejecting response.”

异性恋、同性恋、双性恋都是天生的（有人说上帝创造的），谁有资格断定谁是正常或异常？

有人争辩由于人类物种繁衍的需要，所以只有异性恋是天经地义。其实，物种繁衍是一种性爱的副产品而非终极目标，否则，当异性夫妻不再生育时（或选择不生育时），他们的性行为就失去意义了，就应该导致性行为的停止、离婚或分居，这不是与现实不符而显得荒唐吗？

谁听说过异性伴侣因为不要孩子而停止性行为？不要害羞，事实是大家（异性伴侣）都在积极选择避孕却乐此不疲地忙于性事。当然，有不少人喜欢要孩子作为自己的将来的寄托或陪伴，那是另外一回事。

性欢娱应该是人类性行为（无论同性或异性）的终极目标。所有的性行为（异性恋或同性恋或双性恋）都是天经地义。
