Fed. Judge declares pro-gay T-shirts allowed in Florida school
“I’m just happy that the court ruled the way he did. And I get to show my support for gays and lesbians…. [Tomorrow] I’m gonna wear a shirt that shows my support for gays and lesbians.”
Heather Gillman, 17, of Ponce De Leon High School in Holmes County, FL, after winning her ACLU-backed case. A federal judge ruled against the school administration’s apparent attempt to block several students from wearing supportive gay pride symbols on the basis that they created an uncontrollable disruption.
