Actually I have a family member who has a son who is gay and they are currently having a really hard time with schooling issues. I am not sure that this child even realizes he is gay yet but most everyone else does including his peers. He is getting his ass kicked a lot. His mother is looking for a school where there are more kids like him so that he at least has a peer group to hang with. I agree the answer is for parents to raise loving non-homophobic kids but you know sometimes you just don't wanna go your whole teenage years being the one to have to teach tolerance.

I went through a similar situation when I was a teen based on my choices regarding racial issues. It would have been nice somedays to just be a kid not the poster girl for racial discrimination.

I am not sure there is a good answer here..... If there are enough kids to make it cost effective and their parents want it (who by the way pay taxes too) I have no issue with it. Here in my state it would be a charter school of sorts.
