We already have a teacher sponsor. I've been voted secretary, which I'm very excited about, so I'll send you an email with more details so your son can get involved if he wants to. Thank you, again.

He's straight (I think) but as a parent I absolutely support your right to organize a GSA. If you want to pursue this and need some parental support, email me. jhtrumble@gmail.com. I'd be happy to stand with you.J.H.

When my friend told me this she said that there are no texas laws against discrimination based on sexuality, which sounds really unconstitutional and just hateful, but I don't know if it's true. I did see that there was a Dallas phone # on the Lambda Legal site, so that's probably wrong. Anyway, my principal is a dick.
