Group to back Montgomery?s gay-inclusive sex ed plan

Lambda Legal is the newest defender of Montgomery County?s gay-inclusive sex education lesson plans.

The nation?s oldest gay legal organization last week joined a growing court battle on behalf of Metro D.C. PFLAG, which has long praised and supported the lessons.

Hayley Gorenberg, deputy legal director at Lambda Legal, said her team hopes to bring quick resolution to a dispute that began in 2005.

?It?s a strong curriculum,? she said. ?It?s going to help keep every student in the school system safe and healthy.?
