UTAH: Parents Upset Over Gay Suicide Signs Posted Near Elementary School

I think this guy is brave and doing the right thing. We have kids in elementary school killing themselves so this is a way to open the conversation at a level the kids can understand.
Why is it OK for people like Fred Phelps to have signs and HATE groups to be on TV spreading lies but it is not OK for this man to have a sign telling the truth on his property?
From Joe My God.



Administrators and parents at a Utah elementary school are upset because a man who lives adjacent to the school has posted the above signs.
Leonard Ridley lives next to Art City Elementary in Springville. He recently posted three signs on his fence, facing the playground after he read news about the recent rash of gay suicides. "The signs of course say stop gay suicide, tell the truth, gays are born gay," Ridley said. "I realized at that point that I was in an enviable location in back of the school and this would be an opportunity to provide information to the children tat would be carried to the adults in their lives, to the teachers, to their parents in particular and carry information concerning homosexuals and homosexuality that would perhaps contradict with the mistaken ideas that they already had."
Saying that many parents had complained, school officials said that suicide was an inappropriate subject for elementary school students. The city has declared that the size of the signs exceed zoning codes and Ridley has agreed to post only one sign at a time.
