Harris, 1996
It was 1996. 16-year-old Daniel
Harris an honor student, Life
Scout, & Yucca Valley Youth
Commissioner, bravely acknowledged to a classmate that
he was gay.
Word spread like a virus at
Yucca Valley High School. He
endured the ensuing six months
of relentless physical and verbal
assaults while his pleas for help
were sanctimoniously ignored
at every level.
Ten years later, when sophomore Bennett Hubbard came
out, the barbaric attitudes toward gay kids still infected
YVHS.
In the decade between the
experiences of Daniel and Bennett, Paul Cook became Yucca
Valley Mayor then on to the
State Assembly where he crusaded for a barrage of anti-gay
legislation, notably SB777,
sought to ‘protect’ students
from exposure to “an unbalanced amount of discussion of
alternative lifestyles,” and guarantees the right to oppose such
lifestyles.
With leadership driving policy like this, the result trickles
down to a school where cruelty
and violence against gay kids is
tolerated.
Daniel’s story next column.
Bennett’s story next page.
How was it that
no one in Yucca Valley
stood up for what is right
while this kid
was brutally & routinely
beaten for being gay?
MORONGO BASIN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT—For
Daniel Harris, Yucca Valley will forever carry a
legacy of cruelty, intolerance & crimes against kids.
Two local cases demonstrate the slow rate of
progress in a place where leadership permits or
ignores the plight of gay youth trying to get an
education in a hostile, close-minded environment.
For Daniel Harris, class of 1996, and Bennett Hubbard, class of 2007, Yucca Valley High School
represents such an environment. Surely these
aren’t the only two alumni with such memories.
Daniel’s story originally broke in 1996 in The
Guide magazine. He was a popular achiever before
he gave an honest answer to a bully who asked if
he was gay. Everything changed the day the skinny
16-year-old came out. He was brutally and routinely beaten, spat on, shunned and bullied yet
somehow his dire situation went unnoticed or was
tolerated by school administrators. His computer
programming instructor one day devoted class to
the subject of gender appropriate behavior. Demonstrating what he’d do were he to witness gay
behavior, he placed a piece of wood on his desk
and smashed it with a bat.
The threat was not lost on Daniel who petitioned the Yucca Valley Youth Council to address
homophobia at the school. The group’s adult advisor told him there wasn’t a need in Yucca Valley.
The same day a group of 4 or 5 youths used their
skateboards to beat Daniel bloody.

Situation at School
Dire for Many
Gay Youth
The Gay, Lesbian & Straight
Education Network (GLSEN)
last year released their National School Survey of 6,209
middle & high school students.
Key Survey Findings
+ 86.2% of LGBT students
reported verbal harassment..
+ 44.1% reported being physically harassed and 22.1% reported being physically assaulted
at school.
+ 73.6% heard anti-gay slurs
often, some as much as 26X a
day or once every 14 minutes.
+ More than half (60.8%) reported feeling unsafe in school
because of their sexual orientation.
+ 32% missed school in the
past month due to fear, verbal
threats or physical violence.
+ In the U.S., gay teens are
often subjected to such intense
bullying they’re unable to receive an adequate education.
+ 28% drop out, more than
3X the national average.
+ Gay youth are 2 to 3X more
likely to attempt suicide.
+ 4 in 5 LGBT youth say they
don’t know a single supportive
adult they can turn to.

School’s legacy of complacency puts gay youth at dire risk
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The attack occurred
right outside the Yucca Valley Community Center.
For Daniel, these indignities paled compared to
what happened March 7, 1996. That day he was
called before an impromptu trial of 6 adults who had
arranged themselves along one side of a long table, a
single chair meant for Daniel opposite. His tormenters
included his Scout Master from Yucca Valley Boy Scout
Troop 80 and leaders from the local Mormon stake.
Daniel, sobbing, and denied representation, says he
“pleaded for a chance to finish my Eagle.”
Calling the youth a ‘sinner’ and an ‘abomination’, the
misguided ’leaders’ expelled Daniel from Scouting because he is gay.
Asked why he didn’t press charges or seek damages,
Daniel explained, “I had no one to turn to. I thought,
‘because I’m gay, this must be what I deserve.’”
The relentless abuse meant Daniel’s family couldn’t
remain in denial about his sexuality. Concern for the
boy’s safety and education forced his parents to move
him outside of the Morongo Unified School District to
continue his education.
Today Daniel lives in Nevada with his partner. “Far
away from backward old Yucca Valley,” he says.
Fast forward 10 years to Bennett Hubbard, YVHS
Class of 2007. Teachers and administrators have come
and gone. The Student Handbook has seen the addition
of sexual orientation to the list of characteristics against
which threats and violence will not be tolerated. Hubbard, realizing he’s gay, comes out to his friends.
Bennett best describes his experience in a letter, excerpted below, he submitted to Carpe Diem, a YVHS student periodical from 2006-07.
...Yucca Valley High School has crusaded
against a myriad of... concepts … However, one issue the administration has
to
continued to neglect is harassment of
gay, lesbian, and bi-sexual students. Being a gay student, I have
faced humiliation and bigotry... I hope (my
story) will give you an impression of how far our school must
go to end hate.
I came out my sophomore year... (It was) a huge step,
and (I) felt everyone would be proud that I found sol-

What can we do to help?
We should be able to guarantee a safe
and respectful learning environment for
all Morongo Basin youth. When students, teachers, administrators and the
community look the other way it gives
bullies the green light to spread threats
and terror.
ace. However, I was a naïve 15-year-old, and unprepared for
the consequences... I was harassed on a daily basis... I can’t
count how many times I have been called inconsiderate, derogatory words, and still face this to this day. Many people
don’t know how this feels, and it is hard for me to describe the pain and sorrow these that actions have
caused.
… I have never suffered physical harm due to my sexual
orientation, but the pain I have undergone due to peoples’
hate has been enough. I don’t know why
people decide to be so malicious, because
there is no need for hate, especially in a
learning environment.
What troubles me even more is that
the administration has become complacent when fighting hate due to sexual preference. If our school put as much
pressure on this issue as it does others,
many people would be given referrals, and
even expelled according to Education Code Bennett, now 20
48900.3... perhaps too many for the administration to handle. ..., there is no excuse for this blatant harassment.
I urge that everyone who reads this letter help stop
this epidemic by advising friends and classmates to not
use anti-gay remarks or language.
There may be no way to end hate, but we can impede it
and make this school a safer place for all students.
Thank you, Bennett Hubbard
For Ben, the Student Handbook revision only confirmed the administration’s willingness to look the other
way when anti-gay bullying was involved.
“It went in the Handbook, but the administration did
nothing about the harassment, not even a slap on the
wrist,” he said. “It was unbearable and it opened my
eyes to how backward the school is.”
“I have to wonder if the neglect is district wide,” he
questions. “Or if it is confined to Yucca Valley High
School?”
Described by a former teacher as having "the highest
academic ethics" and "a model student," this extraordinarily articulate young man will put Yucca Valley behind
him to pursue international studies and German, with an
emphasis in Scandinavian language and culture, at the
University of Oregon.
For every LGBT youth targeted for
anti-gay harassment, four straight youth
reported harassment for being perceived
as gay or lesbian.
Send a letter to the Hi-Desert Star or
Desert Trail. Email the school board. Introduce the topic on Z107.7’s “Up
Close” program at 760-366-8471, Fri
days 10 to 11 am. Let people know that
this community isn’t willing to tolerate
terror unchecked at the school. Remind
folks that with respect to their religious
views or opinions of homosexuality, anyone can see it’s wrong to look the other
way while these youths are being brutalized.

A historical correction - We folk up
here in Morongo Basin refer to this
area as the Hi Desert… just the H
and the I. The moniker “High Desert” refers to the VictorvilleHesperia-Apple Valley desert. Although they are similar in altitude, it
just keeps us identified by the Lucerne Valley separation. Besides, our
land values are getting better than
theirs!
Thank you! We did not know
that. – Editor
COPPER MOUNTAIN COLLEGE— AWARE, an acronym for Acceptance With
Awareness Reaching for Equality , aims to increase visibility and understanding, and minimize discrimination against LGBTQ students at the college.
AWARE formed last Spring after petitioning the Faculty Senate for approval. “I expected some resistance to the idea,” said faculty advisor Mike
Danza, “ but faculty overwhelmingly approved the request. There was only
the tiniest bit of dissention and it was quickly shot down.”
The club’s congenial and ambitious members have secured a booth at
the Greater Palm Springs Pride Festival and is raising funds
for a banner which they hope to carry in the Pride Parade
Nov. 8.
“Anyone from up here is welcome to march with us,”
to
said Lynda Herrington, president.
Most of the group’s funds are generated through sales
of rainbow beaded jewelry they make. You can purchase one of
their items all day Monday, Sept. 17 when the group will hold a major sale
at Bruce’s Coyote Kitchen on the CMC campus. Everyone is welcome.
AWARE is also planning to hold a CMC Homecoming Dance. The club
meets Mondays from Noon to 1pm in Phase 2 room 221, and Thursdays
from 9 to 10 am in Modular room 410. Plans call for a bylaw revision that
will allow community participation at their meetings.

You had a good idea, however you

no greeter? Nowhere to go? We got
there about 1:15pm; no evidence about
a special event going on. We drove
from our campsite at Silent Valley
which is above Banning, to show support for this event. Evidently your own
group did not support this. We learned
a lesson from it. Thanks for the great
idea, but next time plan it better.
You’re right. We did not adequately communicate with the

an event that didn’t get off the
ground. Please accept our sincere
apology. – Editor

More than 30 from Out & About enjoyed The Producers Gay Matinee.
Some of them gathered for this photo, generously staged and shot by Cindy
Daigneault . Cindy, who played “Hold Me, Touch Me” in the show, is an avid
photographer and Z107.7-FM President & General Manager.
‘The Producers’ was Gay-est Matinee ever
29 PALMS—The
August “Gay Matinee” was Theatre 29s production of
Mel Brook’s hit musical comedy, The Producers.
“We sold our block of seats in just a few days,” said Jim Babb. an organizer of the monthly theater event. “Theatre 29 was chock full of homosexuals both in the audience and on the stage,” he said.
A handful of fellows from Out & About were in the show including
flamboyantly gay Kurt Schauppner, as a nutty Nazi; flamboyantly gay
Jacob Fesili, as a flamboyantly gay costume designer; flamboyantly gay
Patrick Whalen, working as a stagehand; and yours truly,
flamboyantly gay Mike Lipsitz, as both a stagehand and as the
scantily clad, flamboyantly gay houseboy, ‘Sabu’.
Among the audience of mostly gays and some closet cases
was actress and host of the Palm Springs Gay & Lesbian Film
Festival, Kaye Ballard.
