A small group of students gathered in Burlington's City Hall Park on Wednesday by a rainbow-colored banner and clusters of balloons. They exchanged hugs and laughs, but the gathering was not a party — it was a protest.

The teen-agers who showed up were assembled for a so-called Night of Noise to protest bullying and harassment of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students.
