\nThe National Center for Lesbian Rights<\/strong><\/a> wants a judge to halt Utah state curriculum laws because they bar teachers and students from positive discussions about homosexuality in public schools – therefore discriminating against LGBT students.<\/p>\n

Fair minded citizens believe the laws serve no purpose other than expressing the state’s moral disapproval of homosexuality.<\/p>\n

The state of Utah has denied it has anti-gay school laws, and the Board of Education didn’t immediately have comment.<\/p>\n

The Utah law was part of a wide-ranging sexual education bill passed with little dissent in 2001. Several states have similar laws.<\/p>\n

Filed in October<\/a>, in Salt Lake City’s U.S. District Court, the suit asks a federal judge to strike what it calls anti-LGBT curriculum laws because they are unconstitutional and violate First Amendment rights to free speech, 14th Amendment rights to equal protection and laws that prohibit sex discrimination and equal access.<\/p>\n
