All college students have a right to a positive experience!
Still on a daily basis, many college students are singled out, teased, harassed, bullied, and labeled with derogatory comments that are shameful, discriminatory, hurtful and uncalled for. Discrimination and constant hazing are also faced by these students simply due to one thing – their sexual orientation. This type of behaviour is inexcusable in any environment and should not be tolerated or made excusable in society today! Every college student deserves to be given the same opportunities and experiences that are memorable and encouraging no matter who they may be.
LBGTQ discrimination, harassment and bullying needs to stop! Stop now!! There is no need for all the violence that goes on just because of sexual preference. Gay or straight, we're all the same - we all have the same heart, we all bleed, and have the same wants like every human in this world. When you impose your beliefs or your discomfort on someone’s life or judge them for who they are or want to be, you create an unhealthy environment.
How would you feel if it was your mother, father, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, cousin or even YOU that was being hated because of the colour of your eyes or feelings that you have, that you can't change?
This petition serves as a voice to these students and a show of support for them to be treated as humans and not by the labels we inflict them with. At the end of the day, it is what you say and do that defines who you are. If you harass, discriminate or violate another person, this behaviour has no place at any college!
Please help us in the fight to end the turmoil and hatred that is inflicted on these students or any student in this environment. Step up and be the ONE VOICE to make a statement and end this bullying and discriminating behaviour! Thank you for taking the time to read this.
We, the undersigned, petition the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities and the students who attend post secondary collegiate institutions to and help promote an environment that is safe, healthy and supportive of all students, no matter who they may be, and to continue to work to apply policies and procedures that unite faculty, staff and students in accepting others.
End the discrimination, harassment and bullying behaviour now! It’s 2010, times have changed and such behaviour will no longer be excusable!! STEP UP AND TAKE A STAND!!
