Choctaw seeking new band director - Local Published: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 19:47 PM. Interviews have begun for the next band director at Choctawhatchee High School, and band camp is slated to go forward later this month as planned. “Everybody is stepping up to the plate to make sure we keep everything moving,” Principal Cindy Gates said. The search began after Chad Hannah announced last month he was resigning for personal reasons. School officials already were been seeking a replacement for the band’s associate director, Kelly Deklinski. The interview committee only is considering experienced people for the position. The candidate pool includes a middle school band director in Okaloosa County, two band directors from elsewhere in Florida and one from Mississippi Officials would like to hire someone quickly, but don’t want to miss out on the perfect candidate by moving too fast, Gates said. “What we’re looking for is someone with experience and with credibility … as a musician, as a teacher and as a band director,” she said.

The Youth Project - Noticias Gays Supreme Court Today, June 26, 2013 the Supreme Court of the United States announced its decisions in two landmark cases dealing with the freedom to marry. The Supreme Court’s historic decisions will dramatically improve the lives of same-sex couples across the country, allowing many couples the ability to protect each other and their families. In Windsor v. United States, the Supreme Court struck down Section 3 of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, the 1996 law that denies legally married same-sex couples over 1,100 protections and responsibilities of marriage. By striking down Section 3 of DOMA, the Supreme Court has affirmed that all loving and committed couples who marry deserve equal legal respect and treatment. It marks an enormous victory for equal justice under the law and ends DOMA’s two-tiered system for marriage, which for over 16 years has forced the government to pick and choose among marriages and create a "gay exception" that only caused pain, uncertainty, and financial harm.

GAYRUSSIA - Равные права без компромиссов Live Blog: Marriage at the Supreme Court There's a lot to reflect on about today's historic Supreme Court hearing of Hollingsworth v. Perry. It's exciting to see the freedom to marry face consideration by our nation's highest court. The approach taken by Theodore B. Olson and David Boies, on behalf of Kris & Sandy and Paul & Jeff included a combination of procedural questions and arguments made on the merits of the freedom to marry. His position included technical points related to California's ballot initiative process, whether proponents of Proposition 8 had the standing to bring it to the Court, and interpretations in favor of same-sex couples' constitutional freedom to marry. It would be unwise to speculate on what the Supreme Court will decide in Hollingsworth v. The momentum we have built for marriage and the strategy that has brought us to this exciting moment is the same strategy that will bring us to victory, whether in June or going forward. Thanks for following along with the Freedom to Marry Live Blog today.

Brittney Griner, Proudly Part of a Mission to Help Others Live in Truth Matt York/Associated Press Brittney Griner writes, "I never thought that to be beautiful, you had to look any certain way at all. In my opinion, you’re beautiful because you are you." It takes a lot of courage to come out. I first came out to my mom in the ninth grade. I knew then that it didn’t matter what my sexuality was; my mom and family would always love me for who I am. That’s why I never felt the need to publicly announce I was “out.” Just as basketball doesn’t define who I am, neither does being gay. But that doesn’t mean life was easy growing up. People called me a dude and said there was no way I could be a woman. (That’s nothing compared with the horrendous things people call me online today — if you don’t believe me, look at the comments about me on Twitter and Instagram.) No one deserves to go through that type of abuse. Still, some people have it worse. I’ve had moments when I questioned my place in the world. It’s taken me a long time to figure out exactly where I fit.
