Bullying & Tolerance
Written by: Exodus Youth | December 11th, 2007Bullying
Exodus International affirms that gay-identified individuals and those who struggle with same-sex attraction are persons for whom Jesus Christ died and loves equally. Therefore, we strongly oppose bullying, name calling and acts of aggression against any individual or group of individuals for any reason. These actions have no place in our society and we must, instead, affirm behavior that validates the personal worth and dignity God bestows upon every human being.
In addition, every individual deserves equal protection and every offender should receive equal punishment. We call upon other organizations concerned with preserving the essential equality of all individuals to exhibit impartiality in their policies, rather than singling out some for special treatment.
You can make a stand against bullying and harassment in schools–and you don’t have to become “pro-gay” to do it. Check out our Allies, Too website for some great ideas, events and materials for Christian students who want to make a stand for real tolerance.
