RALEIGH \u2014 <\/strong>The seminar \u201cThe New Gay Teenager<\/a>\u201d \u2014 conducted at the exclusive, taxpayer-funded Governor\u2019s School last summer \u2014 was illegal, a national Christian legal organization says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe New Gay Teenager\u201d seminar was based on a book with the same name, written by homosexual Cornell University Professor Ritch Savin-Williams. The book and the Governor\u2019s School seminar discussed whether homosexual teenagers benefit, or are harmed, by embracing labels based on their sexual orientation. The co-leaders of the seminar \u2014 19-year-old Wesley Nemenz, a University of North Carolina at Greensboro student, and Susan Wiseman, a teacher at East Forsyth High School \u2014 identified themselves as gay. Wiseman was investigated for allegations of sexual activity<\/a> with a 17-year-old student, but last week a county district attorney decided not to press charges against her<\/a> \u2026<\/p>\n
