Things I love about my school part II

This past Friday, a new sign (below) appeared in one of the stairways of my school. It's a sign advertising the school's Gay-Straight Alliance organization. Why is that so cool? Well, at my previous school there were a couple of attempts to start such clubs. Both times, the students who tried to recruit were met with outright hostility and reportedly even death threats.

The response of the administration? You'd think they'd go to some lengths to encourage these students, to support them, to protect them. Well, you'd be wrong. The school's response was to require that the students meet somewhere other than school. Their response was, to say the least, more supportive of the anti-gay sentiment than anything else.

Here though, we apparently have enough support that the students can place a 3' x 5' orange sign in a main stairway and I'm sure there are other around school.
