\nA federal appeals court has ruled that students at a Florida middle school have the right to form a gay-straight alliance club.<\/p>\n

The decision by the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals came after the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida appealed a previous judge’s decision that school officials could deny the club recognition. The court’s reversal opinion found the club should have equal access to use school facilities as other extra-curricular clubs.<\/p>\n

The case began in 2013 when students at Carver Middle School in Leesburg sued the Lake County School Board. It was the second lawsuit seeking to form the gay-straight alliance club aimed at providing a supportive, anti-bullying environment for gay and lesbian students.<\/p>\n

The ACLU says the ruling strengthens the rights of middle school students, putting them on the same level as high school students.<\/p>\n
