Just wondering what our good friends Ken Mehlman and Ed Gillespie think of this (Mehlman is being talked about as the new head of the GOP, and Gillespie is the current head). Do they think gay youth should be ostracized in their schools? Do they think organizations that try to bring gays and straight together are "recruiting grounds" for new homosexuals? Come on Ken. Come on Ed. You started this war. I want answers. Your own Republican party chair in this part of Virginia thinks gays are a threat. Well are they or aren't they?

HARRISONBURG, Va. The chairman of Harrisonburg's Republican Party is calling for the disbandment of the local high school's "Gay and Straight Alliance."Main contact info
John Elledge calls the club an advocacy group for homosexuals. He started contacting School Board members last week -- and is urging concerned city residents to contact the school board.
But Harrisonburg High School Principal Irene Reynolds says students have the right under federal law to form the group. The club's adviser, Sheila Antonnicola, says the club emphasizes civic involvement, and its members try to increase understanding.
