Long Island group helps gay kids stand up for rights

When Becky Goldberg couldn't access the Long Island Gay and Lesbian Youth website at Ward Melville High School, she decided to do something about it. Goldberg, a junior at the time, was appalled that school officials blocked access to the site simply because it featured words like gay and lesbian. "We fought for two or three months to get it unblocked," said Goldberg, now 17 and a senior. "The whole point was, we wanted it to be seen." More and more students like Goldberg are standing up for their rights as a result of Long Island Gay and Lesbian Youth.
