    For one thing… Being gay isn't a fucking disease, nor is it fucking gross, what's fucking gross is the close-minded bigotry of american red-necks like you GibbyWibby. Quit fucking thinking that being straight is superior to us gays and lesbians! This is why we need and deserve a GLBT leadership camp, so that way idiots and red-neck fuckers like yourself don't destroy our life!! Coming from Edmonton, the city that hosts this event, you have no idea how much this event does for being able to get GLBT youth to feel comfortable with themselves, despite efforts from extreme right-wing assholes to undermine and derail efforts to finally make GLBT people feel accepted. Canada does kick ass!!! Even red-neck Edmonton, Alberta, cause we still accept the fact that GLBT people deserve the same fucking rights as every one else!!! Go to hell GibbyWibby, you worthless, ignorant red-neck fucker, go suck George Dubya's cock….

    A sexual preference should not have a charity or be considered a handicap or whatever. Do the decent thing and get the fuck back in the closet. I don't need to hear about sexual preference no matter who you want to do. Why do you feel the need to advetise it? I'm straight yet I don't wave my porn collection around in public. Common decency should be practiced at all times out in public for the sake of children and decent citizens.

    Hey Ya'll be hating. I am one of the original people that went to this camp. IT is the best experience i have ever had. It is a place where i was able to be myself in a world that is messed up and full of hate.
    So to all the haters. Learn to except people for who they are. We except you for being straight.
    MUCH LOVE FROM CANADA

    I've been to Camp fYrefly before and it's tons of fun. Unlike most of the people who are commenting that's it's not a worthless cause it is for people like myself. You may be against our lifestyle, but it's who we are and plus we have to deal with your lifestyle that we don't like so much, but we respect what you do even though what you say and do isn't to our, or to be more personal, my liking. The camp exists because not all of society understands our lifestyle very well and some of us come from religious backgrounds or people who are extremely conservative and are against homosexuality. However, people just need to deal with it that we exist, we're queer and we're here to stay just like all of you are. I would laugh if the world was switched around and we were the majority and you would have to be pressured to follow our ideals. Oh boy those poor men lol. Then there would probably be a camp for people coming out of the closet for being straight, but no matter what, we accept you for being straight. After all it's who you are that counts.

    51

    i find it confusing how a group of people who wanted for so long, to be accepted as sexual equals to hetero's now have a moniker: lgbt. Most minority groups don't want to be referred to in a descriptive, isolating way: such as african americans being called blacks, etc. didnt u come out of the closet to be free? why tie urselves up in a tidy little sex reference u are surely going to regret and want to untie urselves from in the future..i can just here the wining of ur future lgbt-ians!!! arent u just people and isnt that what u wanted, acceptance? havent u basically achieved that?

To all those commenting on Tonya's photo: Yes she's a Dyke, NO she's not into the girly attire! so she's different, woman born,and NOT a man!

    Wtf? For you fucking christians who are saying being gay is wrong, FUCK YOU! You are the worst fucking people on the planet. You deserve to go to hell more than the gay community. There is absoultly nothing wrong with being gay. Fucking assholes. Oh and fyi i think it's time to stop worshipping a fucking imaginary friend. Oh and for the person who said they got gays out of their school.. THAT DOESNT EVEN MAKE SENSE! You got your community and your school to agree to not let a certain type of HUMAN not go to school AND on top of that it wasn't on the news. Yeah.. well, that makes so much sense.. fucking retard.

    62

    Re: wow – I love how you are so militant against Christians while trying to promote the rights of the LGBT community by bashing our religion. Are you not the same? I am a straight, female, Christian and I have absolutely no problem at all with the LGBT community. You are who you are and that's how it is. You shouldn't change for ayone else, life is a ride that you only get once, be happy while you're on it. And if being happy means coming out of the closet and being a member of the LGBT community, then rock on. What they do has absolutely no bearing on what I do with my life and vice versa. Shame on you for kicking down one group while talking up another. You're just a hypocrite. Oh, and by the way, it's the lowest of the low to not only attack a group, but ALSO attack their beliefe. Calling God an imaginary friend is just uncalled for. For someone who thinks of themself, I'm sure, as "so open minded"…you're just a closed minded jerk.

    hi all
    i was part of camp last year and i have to admit its the most fun ive ever had

    but camp fyrefly needs donations

    this is the only camp like it in canada and only 60 youth can join from across the country so many LGBT youth that could use a chance to get to know what the LGBT community is really like dont get to
    with a little help from everyone it would be possible to accept more youth from across canada and expand our fyrefly family a little more

    Re: larissa – who needs to have more class?? I think you my friend. I think the LGTB community create many of their own problems by feeling the need to be overly open and in peoples face a lot of the time. Keep your sexuality to yourself, as everyone should no matter what/who that are. THAT is what having CLASS is about.

    82

    Wow. I can't believe the completely ignorant statements on this post. These kids need confidence from being berated and attacked from vicious, stupid people like the ones who take so much time to fill out negative comments like the ones on this post. This is a youth leadership camp that teaches young people how to interact with each other, be creative, and learn from each other. If we all sent out more love in the world rather than hate, we wouldn't need camps like this. But evidently, stupid people are still breeding and creating homophobes. I spoke at this camp twice and it's a wonderful thing to have in this world, I've seen the participants, GAY or STR8, go on to do huge things for society and themselves. Do some research and find out what's the deal.

    Hmmmm, sounds like if all the homophobes don't want to end up in hell they need to a) donate to Camp Fyrefly at fyrefly@ualberta.ca because it is a great cause that makes a HUGE difference, and b) read Tonya's anti-homophobia book That's So Gay on amazon.com. I saw her do a reading in Toronto and she rules!

    Great cause, Perez! I'm straight but I have many gay friends and seeing how they are treated for being who they are, or even when they try and conform to the 'social norm' when they were in the closet, is frightening. Being the object of so much hate and negativity is a terrible thing and from what i've read about this camp, it equipts kids with what they'll need to survive in a world of bigotry. i'm going to make a substantial donation and see if the transgendered society at my university will do the same.

    Camp Fyre Fly is one of the most inspiring events of my life (and I have had many) I am so proud of everyone involved in this camp.

    Change is always uncomfortable at first. The more concerned you are by this camp thingy simply illustrates how far you need to grow. If it makes your blood boil then you need to recognize that you have a lot of growing up to do. Fortunately, there's light at the end of the tunnel — and you will get there one day — maybe not in this lifetime, but you WILL come to accept it — that's a promise.

    candy, gibby, others– your comments are completely terrible. i know you're bored and reading gossip and you're probably around 20 years old and will make hideous comments to my comment after i post it…but i don't understand your passive aggressive naivety. while its highly possible you lead an unhappy and plastic dull life, you might want to realize that it actually takes MORE work to be hateful and resentful and cruel to people as opposed to being decent and cool and accepting. Its absolutetly fact. But regarding how people who dont identify, to their core, with being heterosexual - your words cant change anything. if anything they make things worse for you. and your life.. .not ours. its just sickning however to keep onnnnnn stummmbling upon ridiculousness such as your own. if your actions were a reflection of your words…you'd be in a jail for being a violent disgusting person. maybe even a murderer. i know thaT the lot of the things you say that are hideous are religiously rooted….because i really dont know anyone who can actively spread hate verbage unless it wasn't motivated by some fear-based education they've been given….god, shitty mom and dad..bad teachers..bullies in grade school…… I would just take a long look at your life. I don't think you can sit there, unless you have been brainwashed by a" hate group, and say that you

    Did someone say it’s so wrong? So was being Black in the 1960s, but is that acceptable? Who knocks Martin Luther King Jr for his effort? Any contributing member of society is just as valuable. I donate to starving children before SPCA (animal shelter), it’s a choice. Doesn’t make it wrong. So stop picking on gays because they are also your doctors, nurses, lawyers, and teachers.

    first off, perez its awesome that you posted something about this.
    its a really great casue.
    my girlfriend went there last year and she loved it.

    second,
    to all the people going on and on about how gross gay people are, and how it should be removed from class rooms, what the heck are you reading perez's blog for? if you hate homosexual people so much, then why are you on a gay man's blog?
    people like you make me sad. maybe ill make fun of you for being straight, you wouldn't like that would you. losers.

    anyyyhooo.
    again perez thanks for making a post about this. its awesome :)

    I attended Camp fYrefly last year and I have to say it was on of the best experiences that I have ever had in my life. As an lgbt member of society being a invisible minority is not always easy and to have a place like this giving kids and young adults the skills to live with such a homophobic society is amazing. I believe that Camp fYrefly is a revolutionary camp and should be given all the respect that it deserves. It helps so many people. The University of Alberta had a great idea and this great idea turned it to so much more, that being Camp fYrefly

    you just contradicted yourself. your saying rude things about gay people, [you did say that gay people deserved to be beat up in school]
    thats no different than what the kkk did with african americans.

    anyone who left rude comments like this, grow up. i didnt choose to be this way and neither did any of the other people who identify as LGBTQ. do you think we would choose to be hated and bullied because of who we love?
    grow the fuck up and learn how to live in the now.
    im going to march EXTRA hard in the dyke march just for all you haters.
