Griffin, who says he just "didn't think expressions about that lifestyle were appropriate in the school setting," acknowledged that "times are changing" and said he'll comply with whatever the court orders. Ardena Gillman, who didn't think her shy daughter would ever go through with a trial, learned Heather was "not your typical teenager."
