That's not really a response, from where I sit... are those stats heavily slanted on a class basis? I have no particular reason to think so.

Intuitively, I think we're way better off than we were when I was in high school, and even back then, being outwardly homophobic would result in ostracization by many. Further, some of those stats make me instantly raise an eyebrow, like the number of people supposedly "sexually harassed"; I've also become more and more cynical about these sorts of studies being agenda driven. But at the end of the day, there are a bunch of dead kids. It's pretty damned hard to argue with that.
