Hmm, maybe things are starting to change down there (http://www.planetout.com/news/article.html?2007/04/09/5)

Students at Okeechobee High School in Florida have the right to meet on campus to form a Gay-Straight Alliance, a federal judge ruled Friday.

U.S. District Court Judge K. Michael Moore found that GSAs are not "sex-based" clubs, rejecting the school's argument that the club would violate its abstinence-only education policy, Associated Press reported.

Yasmin Gonzalez, president of the Okeechobee GSA, called the ruling "great news."
