They report,Superintendent Julie Carbajal said the district won’t approve the proposed Gay-Straight Alliance, but she will make sure all other school clubs are following the district’s policy. The district already has asked the Fellowship of Christian Athletes to meet off campus while officials meet with attorneys.

Paul Rodriguez, president of the Gay-Straight Alliance at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, said the district is alienating other groups to disallow the creation of a club proposed by senior Bianca “Nikki” Peet, 17.

He called on members of other student groups now restricted from meeting on campus to join him in protest against what he called the district’s discriminatory practices.

“It is unfortunate that the district is punishing those clubs that were already meeting on campus and creating a hostile environment where Nikki and her supporters could be potential targets of taunting, abuse and hate slurs — the very thing that the (Gay-Straight Alliance) is committed to ending,” he wrote in a statement.

School will continue that day as usual, and students will be taking the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills, a state standardized exam, spokeswoman Lynn Kaylor said.

The protests won’t change the district’s decision to adhere to a policy approved in 2005 disallowing student clubs not tied to curriculum to meet on campus, the district said in a statement.

“If there is a protest, even after the district has pledged to solve this issue according to the law and ensuring Flour Bluff ISD policies will be followed, our concern will continue to be for our students,” Carbajal said in a statement.

The federal Equal Access Act mandates schools to offer equal opportunities for all students to organize. In disallowing the Gay-Straight Alliance, the district said it didn’t have to follow the act because its policy didn’t allow any non-curriculum student groups to meet on campus. Since Rodriguez called for the approval of Peet’s club, the district has asked all student groups not tied to school-based curriculum to meet off campus.

Rodriguez has said that disallowing all non-curricular clubs on campus takes away his group’s argument. However, he said because such groups were meeting on campus when Peet petitioned to form a Gay-Straight Alliance, the district set a precedent allowing such clubs. That precedent trumps the district’s 2005 policy, so the district should allow Peet’s club, Rodriguez said.

On Simmons, Barrios added: “Whether speaking out against the unfair nature of California’s anti-gay Proposition 8 or advocating for the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ Russell Simmons has become a critical ally who inspires diverse communities across the country to support equality. As a cultural icon, Simmons’ steadfast support of our community has also encouraged countless gay and transgender people of color to be proud of who they are.”

Last November in Minsk, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko suggested to German Minister of Foreign Affairs Guido Westerwelle that he should cease being gay.

Lukashenko recently acknowledged the incident, telling reporters that he dislikes “faggots” and confirming he told Westerwelle “it is necessary to live a normal life.”

Russian gay activist Nikolai Alekseev expressed surprise that there was little reaction to the incident from German gay activists or the German government.

“To leave without reaction what Lukashenko said is nothing else than setting a dangerous precedent,” Alekseev said. “If he can bash verbally a German minister on his sexual orientation, then why he would not do it with all Belarusian LGBT people.
“People have to understand that their absence of reaction can have some negative side effects to others.”

“I’m very surprised that there was not widespread condemnation of the remarks,  the utter hostility and homophobia of one countries envoy to another.”   Said Jason Shaw, gay writer, blogger and activist. “I’m very disheartened by the lack of action by our German brothers and sisters, in our global fight against homophobia and for acceptance and equality.  They rather seem to have accepted his kind of insult and homophobia from a close by nation as normal and understandable -  which is not!  he said today.

The England wicketkeeper Steven Davies has announced he is gay Photo: MARTIN POPE

In a brave move, the handsome wicket keeper and star of England’s ashes winning national cricket team has publically come out.   His new revelation makes him the worlds first top flight openly gay cricketer.

He looks cool and collected but his mouth is dry and it’s obvious Steven Davies would rather be somewhere, anywhere, else.

Months of personal conflict have led to this moment, when England’s talented young wicketkeeper is ready to reveal what his colleagues have known, but kept secret, since the Ashes series began last year – he is homosexual, and has struggled for years to conceal it.

The 24-year-old Surrey player made the startling confession to his team-mates just before the tour to Australia, but they agreed to keep the story “in house” to protect him and so that it would not be a distraction.

In a remarkable piece of mentoring, Andrew Strauss, the England captain, and Andy Flower, the coach, undertook to ring every member of the team on Davies’s behalf. “It was a fantastic thing to do,” he says. “It was a massive relief, telling the lads. The difference is huge. I am so much happier.”

Now he admits that concealing his sexuality had become increasingly hard to bear, especially on tour when he would retreat to his hotel room because he felt so “out of the loop” when other players were exchanging banter.

Today, through The Daily Telegraph, Davies is outing himself to the wider public. “It will be a huge relief to get this over, to be honest,” he confides.

“It’s something I’ve lived with for a long time. Although I feel it is the right time, I am nervous about coming out. Who wouldn’t be? It’s the biggest decision I’ve had to face, and by far the toughest – bigger even than facing Brett Lee [the fearsome Australian fast bowler] in the middle.”

Without the big gloves, he looks vulnerable and sounds taut as a wire. “If I am brutally honest, I never enjoyed touring because of my secret and having to conceal my sexuality,” he says. “My friendships with the guys would reach a certain level, then I’d have to take a step back.

“A two-week tour would feel like two years for me. It was really tough. Cricket was my escape. When I was playing cricket I was at my happiest because all I had to worry about was getting runs and taking the catches. It was a relief to be out in the middle.”

Being selected for the Ashes squad was not an uncomplicated pleasure: it thrilled him professionally, but he knew the social side of a three-and-a-half-month tour would be an ordeal. In dressing rooms, hotel rooms and coffee bars he felt uncomfortable and dreaded being asked even the most innocuous questions about his love life. “Sooner or later, the conversation would come round to whether I had a girlfriend. I was scared of that. I could never be totally relaxed.”

After weeks of angst, he confided in Flower at Loughborough, a few days before the team left for Australia. The coach was practical as well as understanding. They talked for an hour about the best way forward.

“He agreed I had to tell the boys. I couldn’t live like this any more.” Flower and Strauss refused to overplay the tension. “Their line was: ‘Steve wants you to know he’s gay. But it’s not an issue. Let’s just get on with it.’ I owe them both a lot. They were 100 per cent behind me and made me feel everything would be all right. In fact, I felt I was probably making a big deal out of it.”

Davies admits he was sick with nerves before the final batting session at Lord’s, where he faced some team-mates for the first time since the revelation. One by one, they came over to shake his hand and tell him that he had done the right thing.

Matt Prior, the wicketkeeper, Davies’s friend and rival, went out of his way. “He came up to me and gave me a hug and we spoke for about five minutes. He couldn’t believe I had kept it to myself for this long. He said I should have told him. That was special.”

During the Ashes, Hugh Morris, the managing director of England Cricket, told Davies that his homosexuality “would not be an issue” and supported his disclosure.

The effect on Davies was dramatic. “I enjoyed a three-and-a-half-month tour that would previously have killed me. Once the secret was out, those months just flew by. My friendships with the boys blossomed. It’s easier now I’ve got nothing to hide. I can get fully involved in all the banter, which I love. It took a few days to get back to normal. I cracked a joke about myself and after that everything was absolutely fine.”

Not quite, as it turned out. When Davies, reserve wicketkeeper during the Ashes but a top performer in the Twenty20 games, was dropped from the England squad for the current World Cup – in favour of Matt Prior – some cricket insiders suspected it was related to his coming out.

Davies admits he was “shocked and gutted” but does not believe the selectors’ decision had anything to do with his confession. “It was a bitter pill to swallow, I felt sick. But that suspicion never went through my head. Unfortunately for me, Andrew thought Matt would be more suitable.”

The left-handed wicketkeeper and batsman, who began his professional career playing for Worcester, is the first active international cricketer to admit he is homosexual.

The very few sportsmen who have “come out”, notably the rugby player Gareth Thomas, have usually done so at the end of their career. Davies should have his best cricketing years ahead of him.

In a world where it is easier to conform to the machismo of the group ethos than to stand out, his confession is impressive. Self-effacing, he does not see himself as a trailblazer for sport’s sexual tolerance. He had simply reached a point where evasion and dissembling were undermining his morale. “Everyone is different,” he says. “Some people are comfortable doing it [coming out]. Others are not. This is the right time for me. ‘Do I tell them or do I not?’ I didn’t want that to be my life. I feel it is right to be out in the open about my sexuality. If more people do it, the more acceptable it will become. That must be a good thing.”

Davies says he knew he was gay when he was very young “but it was never a big deal because all I’d do was play sport”. He did not tell his parents, Mike and Lin, or his elder sister, Gemma, 26, until he was 19. “The support they have given me has been brilliant. Not everyone is so lucky.”

His parents travelled from the family home in Kidderminster to be with him as he made his announcement. “We are proud of him,” they said, “and love him as a son, as a successful sportsman and now, hopefully, as a role model to any young person dealing with their sexuality.”

Davies knows he has other hurdles — not least the response of cricket fans. Can he take the possible homophobic jibes, the snideness? “Yes, I did worry about it. You go through every scenario. You lose sleep. But if there is anything negative, what can I do? In cricket, the fans are very loyal. They are there to support you, rather than abuse you.

“I have to play my best for Surrey and get back in the England side. I am still the same person. I want to be remembered as a good cricketer, not a gay cricketer.”

Sometimes, he is accused of not being vocal enough behind the wicket. He believes that the confidence he has gained in the past months may even benefit his game. Would he now like to find a partner he could be with openly? “That’s what everyone wants, isn’t it? That special person. I’m no different. I haven’t found that person, but there is no rush. I’m still young and concentrating on my career.”
