Gay-Straight Alliance

If you have time, please read this article by Rodney Thrash. It is about the Gay-Straight Alliance organizations at two Tampa area high schools. I have been familiar with GSA for a few years now. You see, my youngest daughter is a teacher at this very high school in Brandon and the club's faculty sponsor. The second school mentioned is Newsome High, my son in law teaches there and is the faculty sponsor for their club.

I am quite proud of my kids for taking this on. Mrs. H. has been the Brandon sponsor since it's inception. Mr. H just this school year as they are just getting started. The news media has hounded them for comments. The parents who are "concerned" have yet to attend a meeting or inquire as to the nature of the meetings and discussions. Some think they are "teaching" the kids how to "be gay." Others are afraid their kids will "catch" gay. Still others believe their children are getting sex education information. Why won't people open their minds before they go protesting? Nevermind, I already know the answer to that.

Good for Michael for his stand. I'm proud of him too!
