While I don't agree with this Day of Silence crap and don't believe that rights or respect should be based on being part of a group (particularly part of a group that wants to promote perverse sexual proclivities; rights and respect are for individuals, not groups), I applaud you for how you handled the situation.

Schools do not impose this day. It is a day usually organized by students to recognize gay rights.
and what is wrong with a group of people that have been oppressed getting together to try and get themselves equal rights?
Back to the original post, i agree with Donkey Jote. This kind of behavior that this kid was showing must be confronted, but non-violently.
