Macgillivray, Ian K.
Journal of Gay & Lesbian Issues in Education, v4 n1 p33-46 2006
In 2004, a group of high school students at a private American school in Mexico City started the first gay-straight alliance in Mexico. A small group of conservative parents and a Mormon principal organized in opposition. This paper details the students' struggle to keep their club and offers lessons learned about student activism, school change, and personal growth. (Contains 1 note.)
