Sticks and stones may break my gay bones, but legislation will protect me
A bill that would protect Iowa gay and lesbian students from bullying has passed the Senate and will now go to the house for approval. And in more encouraging news for the bill, Gov. Chet Culver seems poised to sign the bill if it makes it to his desk.
Promising news for the state's gay students; less exciting for varsity "Smear The Queer" champions.
If passed, the measure would require schools to report anti-gay harassment to the state and indicate what they did in response to the incident. If it fails -- eh, well, that whole "I'm rubber your glue" thing sort of works, right?
Senate OKs protections for gay, lesbian students
Your thoughts
Hate to quibble, but Chet Culver (D) is the new governor of Iowa.

Hi- I'm watching you on Oregon OPB and cannot believe your bravery and honesty. Thank you so much for being real and standing up for yourself. We can all learn alot- no matter what our sexuality might be.
