My school district is going to add non-discrimination for GLBT
And yes: G and L and B and T. I'm shocked beyond words. Adding partner benefits too. Just heard today it's going to the Board. And it wasn't even brought by the union.

2. I guess!
I think it will be a great thing. I can add my partner to my insurance and save a lot of money! Well, until the rates go up, but hey . . .

3. Oh Noes! Now you're a homophobe!
Accepting benefits without the full equality of marriage!!!

Do you see how stupid that argument is now?

And Congratulations!

9. Congrats.. that's a tough place to get the GBLT non-discriminatory language in
And the rating of Adams schools has exceeded expectations continuously year in and out.
