Tennessee Schools Censor Gay Websites


More than 100 Tennessee public school districts could be illegally blocking students from accessing information about LGBT issues online, charges the American Civil Liberties Union.

According to the ACLU, the Internet filtering software blocks students’ access to the websites of well-known gay-affirming organizations such as Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays; the Human Rights Campaign; the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network; the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation; and Marriage Equality USA.

On the contrary, sites that promote "reparative" therapy or "ex-gay" ministries to change sexual orientation can still be accessed, says the ACLU.
Now that’s just Fucked up!
