In the Matter of Jane Doe
Status: Victory
In response to an assault against a lesbian student by a number of her peers at a Western Massachusetts high school, GLAD secured the school’s agreement to do mandatory teacher and student trainings to ensure the safety of all GLBT students. GLAD intervened in discussions on behalf of the student after the attack, which was the culmination of months of anti-gay harassment since the student came out to friends, family and other students.
