San Antonio student fights to get photo of her and girlfriend back in yearbook
A 16-year-old San Antonio student is petitioning Brennan High School to allow a photo of her and her girlfriend to be printed in the schools 2013 yearbook.
The picture, above, depicts Felicia Rivera holding her girlfriend at school. The photo was selected to run on the Valentines Day page but the yearbook adviser removed the image from the page after she found out it was two girls.
The couple has been dating for a year and Rivera has gathered more than 200 student signatures to have the photo placed back on the yearbook page.
You shouldnt be discriminated against just because youre gay, she told KENS 5. You shouldnt worry about people bashing you or talking behind your back just for you to be you.
Pascual Gonzalez, director of public information for the school district, said the photo wasnt like other photos selected for the page where students were looking directly at the camera and was too intimate and a little bit too much, exaggerated public display of affection. The student handbook prohibits public displays of affection on campus.
