- Nguon v. Wolf - ACLU Sur-Reply to Motion for Summary Judgment Motion
A brief from one of our cases (see below) that covers some of the key legal issues regarding LGBT students' right to privacy at school.
- Nguon v. Wolf
Our case against a high school that repeatedly singled out a lesbian student for discipline for showing affection towards her girlfriend, even though heterosexual students are routinely allowed to hold hands, hug, and kiss on campus. One of the things the school did to the student was reveal her sexual orientation to her family without her permission. - McLaughlin v. Pulaski County Special School District
Our successful case against an Arkansas school that revealed a 14-year-old gay student's sexual orientation to his parents without his permission. - Sterling v. Borough of Minersville
ACLU of Pennsylvania's successful case against a town where two police officers threatened to tell a teenager's family he was gay against his will. The young man then committed suicide. A court ruled that the government can't reveal a minor's sexual orientation without permission.
