Music campaign promising to stop encouraging violence against LGBT people; the
British military issues a blanket apology to lesbigay military personnel
discharged because of their sexual orientation before the ban on their service was
lifted in 2000; former leaders of Exodus International, a church-based
Christian ministry claiming to be able to turn lesbigays into heterosexuals,
apologize for "bringing harm" to those they'd recruited for the discredited "change"
program, while a new poll reveals that for the first time a majority of
Americans believe sexual orientation can't be changed; another new survey reports
rampant verbal and physical abuse against LGBT students in U.K. secondary
schools, but queer-supportive Gay-Straight Alliances are reportedly flourishing on
U.S. school campuses (written by GREG GORDON, with thanks to GRAHAM
UNDERHILL and REX WOCKNER with BILL KELLEY, and reported this week by SHERI LUNN and
