A Georgia school district that refused to allow the formation of a campus gay-straight alliance club has reversed its decision and will allow the students to meet.

School administrators at White County High School in Cleveland, Georgia initially said that they would not allow the club to form when students approached them in January about starting a GSA chapter.

After the students presented documents outlining the school's legal obligation to recognize the club, school officials indicated they may change their position but the school board began stalling on a final decision after news of the club became public.

1. YAY good for them!

As a supporter of the PFLAG, I wish them all the best, from a straight girl with tons of gay friends.

2. I'm proud of the students who persisted and forced --

-- the goddam administration to uphold its own legal responsibilities.

It sounds like a speak-truth-to-power moment in Georgia and I'm encouraged by it.

3. Good for the students

I really wish this type of club was around when I was in high school.
