...increasingly visible gay and lesbian students (and their supportive straight friends) over the last decade. Gay straight alliances (GSAs) - extracurricular clubs that promote safety and tolerance in school - have grown from 200 in 1998 to more than 4,000 today.

A relaxed, unflappable doctor is important for jittery moms-to-be. Even more important is a doctor who remembers that her patients even exist. In the months since she canceled her appointment at her last doctor's office, says Burnette-Dubose, whose daughter Chloe was born in February, "no one ever called to find out why." Seems she got out just in time...
