Vinny From 'Jersey Shore' Asks You to Stop Bullying

By Jo Piazza Posted Oct 25th 2010 06:24AM

Vinny Guadagnino is the latest 'Jersey Shore' star to speak out for a cause.

He took some time away from his GTL routine to lend his voice to Facebook's Network of Support and MTV's A Thin Line, which raises awareness for LGBT teens and lets people know that it's never OK to bully someone because of of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

"If you've ever seen our show you know that things can get a little wild at the Shore. But no matter how outta hand things get you'll never see us making fun of somebody for who they are or who they choose to love, especially if they're lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender," Vinny says.

"No one should ever be made fun of, especially for being brave enough to be who they are. If there is one thing in the world that I hate on, it's a bully," he adds.

JWoww and Snooki spoke out earlier this month on the issue of suicide prevention. It's kind of hard to imagine anyone taking the 'Shore' cast seriously, but whatever helps teens combat depression and stops them from bullying is a good thing in our book.

These are the same guys who refer to "skinny ugly girls" and "fat ugly girls" (their words) as bombs and grenades. Another wanna be tv star speaking out of his butt. Maybe he and his other castmates should start by taking a good look at themselves before speaking out to others.

What makes you think that LGBT people can't be bullies? Remember there is no such thing as a just cause, just another way for corrupt people to make more money they already have. To me I think that anyone who isn't LGBT they might set out to make that person LGBT. It's just another race card, or something that makes people forget about the race card. There's time and places for sexual conversions, and one time it's not allowed is in the workplace. The work place is for just that work. It's not a dating site. Most of this so-called just causes are asking for too much too soon.

I dont believe that bullying will ever stop. It used to be just the kids that bully each other. But its the adults that love to join in now. And being bullied is terrible, but this shouldnt be about gay people, it should apply to everyone.
Its one thing for a kid on the play ground to bully another kid. THOSE KINDS OF KIDS LEARNED IT FROM HOME.
This will never end until adults learn to stop it their selves.
I have said it before, I will say it again, it never makes anyone look better, or smarter when they are calling others names. It only shows how ill mannered, and unhappy they really are.

Three words white racial resentment.

Gay teens have the highest incidents of past sexual abuse, bad parenting or traumatic situations at home, and drug use. Could there possibly be other reasons for the frequent suicides? No, the only explanation is bullying. Please. I DO NOT approve of bullying, but it's looking like a scape goat excuse to turn a blind eye to the real problems while once again depicting homosexuality as a racist issue, which it is NOT.
