Really? No anti-bully laws?

From WRAL.com...
"The Senate also considers Monday whether schools must adopt detailed anti-bullying policies. The legislation is opposed by conservative Christians who said it would advance special protections for gay people."
Really?
Come on.
These laws in question would say that it is not acceptable to bully anyone for anything, not just gay people.
And besides, "conservative Christians" want protection just like everyone else!
Personally, I think this is absolutely ridiculous.
People of other races and women should have equal rights, but no more or less than anyone else.
Same thing with gay people, or transvestites, or what have you.
Just because you don't agree with what someone does doesn't mean that they should be allowed to be bullied for it.
This is another example where legislating personal opinion comes into play.
Legislating morality isn't the issue, it's when people want their own personal opinion put into law.
That is the problem.
