New Degrassi season begins: counter the Florida Family Association boycott

As people are fond of noting...sometimes as if I didn't know this...the best way to get people to believe in our need for equal rights is to share our stories.  I've tried to do that in my time here, which began in 2005.

Today I have a few more people I'd like you to meet.

[...]

But every story that is shared is countered by the actions of our foes.  When there is a transperson shown by the media, such as the character Adam on Degrassi from Teen Nick. 

Unfortunately, Adam's storyline is one of two that the Florida Family Association thinks have crossed the line of good taste and has therefore organized a sponsor boycott of the show.
