I don't know where to park this, so I guess I'll make my own parking place. Someone named David mentioned this board, so I thought I'd mosey on over.

I'm here for two reasons. (Straight female) One, I lived in Wyoming for five years and still have fond memories (except for the oil refinery). We used to vacation every year in the Tetons, back before the world discovered it.

Second, I've done a lot of gay rights activism. My daughter filed a lawsuit to start a GSA at her high school, against the most conservative school board in the country. (Orange California, that's their brag). It got international press. We won and the district thanked her by having her falsely arrested and kicked out of school.  ::) Now lifetime is doing a movie about it.

So I'm just saying howdy and looking forward to talking to folks who don't raise their eyebrows  :o at the mention of the word gay.  :laugh:

Hi there, Keller. Welcome to BetterMost.  :D

I'm Kerry and I live in Sydney, Australia. Pleased to meet you.

I think it was a couple of years ago that a very moving documentary was screened on Australian television, telling the story of an extremely courageous young woman, who fought for gay rights at her school. Is that your daughter? There can't have been too many such documentaries made. I was very moved by her story. And by her courage and determination, too.

Should you have any questions about BetterMost, don't hesitate to ask me.  :)

Kelda:
Welcome keller - I'm guessing that David is our very own DavidinIndy!

wow! I'd love to know more about the fight and the movie (I'm not in the US) links please!

Good on your daughter!!!!
