Students call for repeal of anti-gay language in sex education law


On April 9, 2013, in Montgomery, Alabama, high school and college students came to the Alabama State House wearing T-shirts supporting a bill to repeal state law (House BIll 496) that requires sex education courses to teach that homosexuality is not an acceptable lifestyle and that homosexuality acts are against the law.

There have been a couple different online petitions to remove the anti-gay language from the law.  One gathered 18,480 signatures and another obtained 78,000.  No word yet on how or if the petitions will influence any changes in the law.
