The San Diego school superintendent Monday branded as “adult bullies who preach hate and intolerance” the people who have made phone calls and sent e-mails criticizing the students' selection of a lesbian couple as the homecoming king and queen at Patrick Henry High School. The Los Angeles Times reports that Superintendent Bill Kowba said adults criticizing the selection of Rebecca Arellano and Haileigh Adams are "demonstrating such a lack of tolerance and are presenting such a negative role model for children with their hateful comments." Arellano was named homecoming king at a Friday pep rally. Adams was named homecoming queen at a school dance Saturday. The calls and e-mails, Kowba said, "are also disrupting the work of the school to focus on the education of students ... if these calls and emails were from students, they would face disciplinary measures." Kowba said that he supports and congratulates the Patrick Henry homecoming king and queen “and wishes them and the school well ... I look forward to the day when all students can come to school, free of harassment and bullying.”
California Assemblywoman Cathleen Galgiani is gay, she said Tuesday during an interview at The Stockton Record. Galgiani (D-Livingston) said that by coming out now, she hopes to send a positive message to young people who are struggling to come to terms with their sexual identity. "It sickens me that young people would think about taking their lives because of who they are," she said. Galgiani, 47, said it was not until well into adulthood, after she was elected to represent the 17th Assembly District in 2006, that she knew she was gay.
