Here are the latest LGBT headlines from around the region.

Wisconsin
In Janesville, a school district is apologizing for showing a video called “Kids React to Gay Marriage.” The video was shown at Craig High School by the school’s gay-straight alliance.

“I found the video to be inappropriate and propaganda laden in addition to the left-wing political view,” grandparent Jo Yungerman wrote to the principal, according to the Associated Press.

Wisconsin face a lawsuit hoping to overturn the state’s ban on same-sex marriage, and that has the state’s religious right groups speaking out.

“Gay marriage is not inevitable,” Julaine Appling, executive director of Wisconsin Family Action, told Madison.com. “People in this state still support marriage between a man and a woman.”

North Dakota
A Minneapolis attorney that is assisting a South Dakota couple with a lawsuit to overturn that state’s ban on same-sex marriage is mulling a similar suit in North Dakota.

“Our focus right now is to get filed in South Dakota and to focus on the case in front of us in the immediate short term,” Joshua Newville told the Associated Press. “We are very seriously contemplating filing in North Dakota.”
Tom Freier, executive director of the North Dakota Family Alliance, told the AP:
“I think foundationally, the people of North Dakota are really strong in their beliefs on these sorts of issues.”

Iowa
A comprehensive anti-bullying bill failed in Iowa this year, but advocates are still working hard to make schools safe.

“While we are disappointed, we recognize the problems don’t go away just because state leaders did not pass a comprehensive anti-bullying bill during the 2014 legislative session,” said Nate Monson, Executive Director of Iowa Safe Schools, in a statement. “That’s why we are stepping up our efforts to provide a safety net for students who are suffering, struggling, and are otherwise victimized because of their gender identity or expression.”

Des Moines Pride is right around the corner.

“Capital City Pride-Des Moines, Iowa, is a group of proactive individuals who are striving to recognize the importance of gay culture in the Midwest. The annual Pride celebration, held in June every summer, consists of a street party, a parade, and a show with all types of community exhibitors and musical performances! Our mission is to promote acceptance, tolerance, and understanding of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community through education, programming, and visibility.”

The event will be held June 6 to 8.

PFLAG in Mason City is celebrating 10 years in operation, and Jody Huckaby, executive director of PFLAG National was in town to celebrate.

“What you have done over the past 10 years is pretty unbelievable,” Huckaby told the group according to the Globe Gazette. “You’ve built a community and brought people together.”
