Debate continues over high school's Gay-Straight Alliance

(AP) — Supporters and critics of a Franklin County High School group that meets to talk about issues among gay and heterosexual students at the school will discuss the organization at the county school board's upcoming meeting.

The establishment of the school's Gay-Straight Alliance has generated debate in the community about its intent and necessity, the Daily News Journal reported (http://on.dnj.com/1XcazfL).

In response to the call for group opponents to gather at the county's school board meeting, school alumni received a permit to have a pro-LGBT rally before the meeting, Katy Franck, a Franklin County High alumna who is helping organize the rally, said.
