North Carolina Makes History

The North Carolina House recently passed a school anti-bullying bill that includes sexual orientation and gender identity and expression. The 73 to 46 vote in favor of the School Violence Prevention Act marks the first time in North Carolina history that a major pro-GLBT piece of legislation has passed either the House or Senate.

The FIRST. Congrats North Carolina!

About time - I lived in NC for 21 years before moving to California...

The school system was notorious for not preventing bullying behaviour (not just for GLBT folks).

I even remember that in middle-school, people talked about the "effeminate" boy in our class, and used the term bi-sexual to describe him.

Let's hope this really does protect some kids.
