  Case: Everything is Gay
Students in Mr. Jones' class have a habit of calling anything with negative gay. Mr. Jones has requested the students find an alternative word but they continue to use it. How can he convince students to not use this word in negative contexts only?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As an open member of the LGBT community who fights for the rights that, just as the straight community is allowed to express their sexual orientation with pictures with their wives and kids, I would openly express to my students my sexual orientation and the discrimination throughout my life that I have had to face because of it. If it was still considered a joke, a parent/teacher meeting would come into play and a well enforced class on LGBT rights and discrimination would be given during a mandatory detention.
