Pro-gay students
fight back in Maryland

Some students at Pikesville High School in Maryland are firing back at an anti-gay rights demonstration that was held outside the school earlier this week. The pro-gay students staged a demonstration of their own Thursday. Senior Reed Shusterman said more than 100 students took part. He said the students wanted to show that the school is open and tolerant.

The antigay protest was held on Monday and was led by a local pastor who objected to observances of National Coming Out Week at the school. (AP)
