I was expelled after making a Brokeback tribute film.

I made a gay love story set in a high school environment as my English final.
Read about it at my site. -- www.BrandonFlyte.com
It's just such a shame that the double standard for same-sex relationship exists. I'm personally straight, and so are the people who made the movie with me, but the fact that we wanted to do something bold and support the gay movement gets me expelled, I just think it's insane. This is the civil rights movement of my generation. Gay or not, I plan to be a part of it.

WHAT?!?!?!?!
Hey Brandon, this has all the makings of a major national story. I don't know how far you want to take this, but this could become a huge deal. There are several gay rights organizations that have no issue taking on the cases of straight folks caught up in the culture wars, so there are some contacts there. But the media can also make this into a major issue. But you have to make the decision about how far you want to go with this. Let us know and then I will offer some contacts and advice carrying forward.

Welcome to our world, Brandon.
Sigh.
Does your high school have a Staight-Gay Alliance chapter? Probably not, but it sounds like it needs one.
Let us know what we can do to support you.
BrandonFlyte:
My school does have a Gay-Straight Alliance. Very small, but I don't think they know of this yet.
Nancy, I just wanted you to know how touched I am by your comments. If you have any specific suggestions for how I should handle this, I'm all ears.
