Fifi - Congratulations on founding such as progressive tolerant group in your high school, showing mutual support in incredibly important for all people of any persuasion.

Here is the link for the University of Oregon's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered support services and educational program, if you contact them they will be able to give you some help and support in keeping your student group alive. LGBT Oregon

Also Catch-22 is correct get some media attention on this immediately. There is nothing like a bright light to make bigots crawl back under the rock they came from.

In your promotion of "tolerance", how do you refer to people with religious beliefs that say homosexuality is a sin?

Tolerance of intolerance is not tolerance, nor should it be expected. If someone disagrees with homosexuality, they do not have to participate in a homosexual relationship, no one will force them to. They will not be forced to view gay pornography or attend social functions at gay clubs. They can have their religious opinions and preach them if they want to, however when it comes to denying rights to people based on sexual orientation, such as shutting down the Gay Straight Alliance and not the Students Against Drunk Driving, or the Youth Bible Club (both of which are also morally based student activity clubs) then no, there should be no tolerance of discrimination.
