High school Students outed by Principal

ABC News reports that Memphis Hollis F. Price Middle College High School principal, Daphne Beasley (picture), fed up with public displays of affection in the hallways, allegedly displayed a list of couples — including some who are gay — in the school, publicly outing the boys and violating their privacy, according to one of the students involved. "I really feel that my personal privacy was invaded," said Nicholas, one of the young men who claims his sexuality was exposed without his approval by his principal, "I mean, Principal Beasley called my mother and outted me to my mother!" "It was actually frightening," Nicholas said of the incident, which occurred in Fall 2007, "to see a list with my name on it where not just other teachers could see but students as well."
The American Civil Liberties Union has threatened legal action against the school. "I really couldn't believe that a principal would have done something like this," said Christine Sun, the American Civil Liberties Union attorney handling the case after it was brought to her attention by Nicholas' mother.
