A lesbian student
suing her Orange County, California, school district
and her high school principal because of alleged
discrimination is seeking up to $1.3 million in
damages. Charlene Nguon, 18, now a community college
student, filed the suit last year after her principal
informed her mom that she is gay, the Associated Press reports.
"It is a significant impact in one's life to be
punished for who you are," said one of Nguon's
attorneys, Dan Stormer, during closing arguments in
the trial in Santa Ana, Calif., Tuesday. "That
stigma never goes away."
Nguon claims that she was suspended more than
once for hugging and kissing her girlfriend at school,
and that her principal outed her to her mom--in
a violation of her privacy rights--when explaining why
she was being suspended. (The Advocate)
