The main idea of this project is to ask students does the selected topic “Hurt or Heal” people in the grander scheme of things. We publish the student’s full opinion as a way to let the Skyline student body voice their opinion. ——————————————-Heals The World”Because sexual orientation is nothing to be ashamed of no matter who you are this is a good example acceptance. Hopefully other countries around the world will see this and do the same like a domino effect”-Alyssa Ortiz

Hurts The Military “This should just be left how it is, its not up to Obama to tell others what they cant or can not do, its up to Military to set their own rules.” -Ryan Cutitta

Heals My Brother”It heals my brother because it makes him happy to know steps are being taken to be more accepted within society”-Chinel Kremesec

Hurts Republicans”Because Republicans don’t want homosexuals involved in any form of government”-David Carcamo

Heals Gay Community “This gives gay people protection while in service, weather your gay or not doesn’t change weather you can kick ass on the battle field. Of all the people to hide from your teammates in the military are not one of them.” -Celine Lota

Hurts Those Who Don’t Wish to Join a Military Branch”Hurts the people like myself, who don’t want to join the army and play the system to ensure that they don’t join. With more openings available this could mean more people wind up joining the army that don’t want to voluntary or otherwise.”-Kirri Murphy

Hurts AND Heals Anti Gay people”Hurts people who are anti gay because it goes against their beliefs but at the same time heals them because this could be just the push they need to be more accepting.”-Annie Thanos
