    Argh! This article makes me so frustrated. The parents quoted here demonstrate how necessary a Gay-Straight Alliance is- their children need to educate them that it's not a choice!

    Good on the students who are trying to set up the club and good on the District/Board who aren't going to ban it :eusa_clap

    they used the PA system to come out?! that's BRILLIANT... why didn't I think of that?

    but anyway, what's the big deal? why NOT have a gay straight alliance, it's clearly needed

    This makes me sad because it's probable that at least one of these parents is the father or mother of a gay child.

    At a middle school? Never seen a GSA at a middle school...

    But that's really cool how they are really trying this. Good for them. :slight_smile:

    Wow, most school districts would have succumbed to those neanderthal parents. I'm impressed.
