Judge: Gay Student Club Allowed To Meet
ACLU Filed Suit On Behalf Of Gay Students

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A federal judge has ruled that a student club promoting tolerance for gays must be allowed to meet at Yulee High School in north Florida.

U.S. District Judge Henry Adams handed down the decision Wednesday in the case involving two Yulee students against the Nassau County School Board. He ordered the district to grant official recognition of the Gay-Straight Alliance and give it the same privileges as any other student organization.

The school district had argued in court that its main objection was the name of the club and would grant access if they changed the name. But the judge ruled that the group did not need to make a change.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed suit on behalf of gay students Jacob Brock and Hannah Page.

few years ago. Congratulations to the kids and the adults who help them! Go GSA!

I remember back in the 90s when gay clubs began to meet and all the conservatives went nuts.

Then the students protested, walked out of school and rallied around the Gay/Straight alliance.

They've been meeting for about a decade now.

:D

i think that all student groups should be given equal access to school facilities.

marketplace of ideas and all that.

Way to go Gay-Straight Alliance!!
