Utah’s shameful anti-gay school club laws set to take effect: “Next month, a 17-page law will take effect governing just about every nuance of public school extracurricular clubs, from kindergarten jump rope to high school drama. How groups can form, what they can discuss in their meetings, who can join, and what a principal must do if rules are violated are addressed. But the school clubs law, signed last week by Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., was not really intended to rein in the rowdies down at the audio-visual club, some lawmakers said. The real target was homosexuality. ‘This is all about gay-straight alliance clubs, and anybody who tells you different is lying,’ said State Senator Scott D. McCoy, Democrat from Salt Lake City, who voted against the law.”
