Most of my experiences of bullying around issues of gender presentation and sexuality, particularly in childhood and adolescence, have been at the hands of a religious organization or people explicitly sanctioned or encouraged by one, so when folks say things like "no one should be bullied" in the same sentence with talk of agendas and morals, it makes my head spin and sends my internal hypocrisy meter into the red zone. I personally found attending public school a relief (granted, over twenty years ago) because at least there I managed to find a few other people (including teachers) who thought for themselves and challenged the status quo.
