Perrotti and Westheimer, the founding and current directors (respectively) of the Massachusetts Department of Education Safe Schools Program, tell of their experiences with supporters, opponents, legislators, faculty, administrators, and students. Numerous accounts and testimonies, not all of them happy, enliven this guide for introducing gay rights protection into schools.
