Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) has released an online video that urges people to tell their representatives to support legislation to protect public school students from a "wave" of bullying targeting lesbian, gay, bixsexual or transgender teens.
"Nine out of ten LGBT kids are harassed or bullied in school," he said. "A third skipped school in the past month because they felt unsafe. Study after study has shown that LGBT kids are much more likely than their peers to attempt suicide. This is a tragedy and it is happening right now."
