Gay bar duluth mn

I was reading an article in Rolling Stone the other day about the Anoka-Hennepin School Districts and their neutrality policy on GLBTQ students and how this particular reporter feels it has affected students and possibly driven some to have mental health issues and suicidal ideation with some even taking their lives.

But Duluth seems so gay-friendly. I am an out bisexual woman, but a bisexual who never dated a woman during my time in Duluth. What say ye? I don't know if that represents a clear dichotomy in Duluth. I've worked at a couple places in town and some of the people I've worked with have been fairly homophobic.

I guess in my opinion, it's Area Voices is not representative of the community in any way. I have a gay child who is thriving in the Duluth Public Schools, but he does run into homophobic individuals both at school and in the community. I don't think there is as much institutional anti-gay policy or action up here as there is in the 6th District.

We all have a long way to go, regardless I know you said you didn't really want to discuss that article here It's so sad that still today, in the yearpeople can't even be accepted by school for who they are. It's just sick a school, of all places, won't support a student who is being bullied because they feel the bully has bar as much right to be an homophobic asshole as the other kid duluth to be gay.

ISD at least has a policy banning harassment based on sexual orientation. But, as the other posters have mentioned, there is still a gay of work to do. We're still far from the point where it's "normal" to be gay in the minds of most people. And there is still a small, but vocal crowd around here -- call them the "Area Voices right" -- that worships Bachmann and the Tea Party principles.

So I say we're at least better than a lot of cities, but still not where we should be. Great question. I'd say, as with most elements of social change, gay friendliness is seen more so amongst younger generations, and in turn, is increasing progressively with time. They don't necessarily flaunt there sexuality, but it seems as though they are comfortable expressing themselves as unique and good people.

But, in retrospect, I grew up with two gay uncles rather than an aunt and an uncle pairing, and the thought of a lack of normalcy didn't even spark up until I was about So my memory of past trends regarding this idea seem to be blissfully ignorant. To comment on duluth14's response, I'd say: get your critical thinking caps out.

Pdd vs. I'm not directly criticizing your opinion as clearly statedbut I think it is impossible to find any kind of clear dichotomy in this regard. The only thing we can do is ask the non-heterosexual residents - how are you treated?
