I've been wondering all day, had other stuff to do and couldn't get to the bottom of this.

I notice that the "Truth" group opposing DOS is apparently based in Scottsdale. That's just a few miles up the road from the town where, supposedly, they are prohibiting DOS. Perhaps the anti-gay organization complained and made some statements about "promoting homosexual agendas," to which the district responded by shutting down the DOS in hopes of avoiding a conflict. I would love to know and hope I can find out. Want to know what's going on before I finalize and mail any letter!

Btw - it's my past experience that "promoting the homosexual agenda" means "wants gay people to be allowed to live/remain physically safe/keep their jobs. . . " and it's a way of making it sound like treating people like human beings is dangerous. To "spin" human lives, safety, and dignity in such a way is exceedingly dangerous and unconscionable. The Day of Silence is precisely the kind of caring, supportive gesture that communities need.
