SACRAMENTO — Rick Griswold, a high school senior in a small town west of Fresno, used to wear makeup to school, an act that he says helped him to express his identity. He suffered harassment as a consequence, went to teachers for help and got none.

"There is a problem at California schools," he said. "LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) students at California schools are not safe."
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
