Tomorrow I will attend the regular meeting of the Gay-Straight-Alliance at Chapel Hill High School here in NC.  I was invited by club advisor and chemistry teacher Alan Rissberger to stop by and gab about my life blogging on LGBT issues, what kind of support I've received -- or been denied because I choose to live my life out of the closet.

I'm going there to learn about what life is like for young people in 2008 here in NC. There were no gay-straight alliances when I was in school, so I look forward to it. I will take video and pix (but of course have asked for parental releases to do so; some of the kids are in the GSA against their parents' wishes).
