Vermont has restored funding for a group that fights discrimination against gay people to run an anti-harassment program in schools. Funding for the Outright Vermont program was cut in 2000, amid a heated debate over civil unions. The group had been operating its school program with private grant funding, but Outright Vermont says state funding has now been restored. Within the past year, Outright Vermont has made 152 presentations in Vermont schools, reaching more than 4,000 students and educators.
