They will tell you if you are legally allowed to wear the shirt, and they will tell you what you are allowed to say and what you are not allowed to say. If you are being discriminated against and are not allowed to wear the shirt, you can contact them and they will tell you your legal rights and help you if you are being denied your legal rights. Click Here There is a "contact us" button on the website. Also, try to pull him (Jay Sekulow) in on your local Christian station - the website can tell you when he is on what stations, then you can call in. Just make sure you have all of your facts before you contact them, as they are very, very busy. Have your school dress code in hand, and any other pertinent information. Write down the things that are said to you by the Principal and others, word for word. Hope that helps. Keep on keepin' on, girl! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Awesome info, WIP! Thanks for sharing! I hope all our teens read this thread! I work with the teens at our church and will keep tabs on this info for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, approaching a homosexual or bisexual merely to tell them/him/her that you do not like him/her because of his/her chosen lifestyle on the other hand is. Jesus taught us to love our neighbors as well as our enemies. When standing up for your beliefs do it out of love, not judgement or condemnation. For a soft word will not as readily provoke anger as a grevious one. May God Bless You Danielle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The excitement and interest in our first Day of Truth exceeded anything we could have imagined, Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) Senior Counsel Joseph Infranco said. "This shows there was clearly a need for a caring Christian response to the Day of Silence." The Day of Silence -- held nationwide Wednesday -- involved students taking a day-long vow of silence in high schools and universities to protest "discrimination" against homosexuals. In the Day of Truth, held the next day, students were encouraged by ADF to hand out cards and wear shirts proclaiming God's message for those struggling with homosexuality -- it is contrary to Scripture and can be overcome. "I still disagree with your views, and I always will," wrote one observer of the Day of Truth to ADF. "However, you've expressed your views in a polite and forthright manner, without being confrontational, and I wanted to tell you that I very much appreciate that."
