The problem was compounded by a school policy that did not adequately counter such harassment, she said. To the contrary, Justin’s school allowed such events as the “Day of Truth” to occur: The annual antigay event is organized by the social conservative legal group Alliance Defense Fund, though the ex-gay group Exodus International has also supported Day of Truth in the past. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/09/16/day-of-truth-anti-gay-bullying/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

In it, Legal Counsel Jeremy Tedesco said the civil rights groups' arguments have "no basis in law." "The district should not allow SPLC and NCLR to browbeat them into abandoning its sensible policy of requiring district personnel to remain neutral on issues regarding sexual orientation," Tedesco wrote. "Neutrality does not equal hostility. Rather, neutrality respects all sides of a controversial issue, and advocates none." <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/07/01/conservative-group-to-anoka-hennepin-keep-sexual-orientation-policy/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lisa Keen writes at the<a href="http://www.windycitymediagroup.com/gay/lesbian/news/ARTICLE.php?AID=30701">Windy City Times</a>: It is possible—just as happened in California—that some other entity might attempt to mount its own defense of DOMA in the pending cases. Last October, U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, filed a motion in the two First Circuit cases, seeking to be named intervenor-defendant. Smith, aided by the right-wing Alliance Defense Fund, said at the time that the Justice Department was providing "no defense at all" for DOMA. He withdrew his motion a few weeks later, without comment.
