This was a main canal until it was filled in 1672, it is now a shopping street with bars and restaurants.
When I visited Amsterdam in 2004 this street was virtually a building site due to the building of an underground. it is still under construction, due to be finished in 2017???
The Damrak, the main street in Amsterdam, is a partially filled in canal at the centre of Amsterdam, between Amsterdam Centraal railway station and Dam Square, running north-south. It is the main street where people arriving at the station enter the centre of Amsterdam. Also it is one of the two GVB tram routes from the station into the centre.
The street was located on a rak (reach), a straight part of the Amstel river near a dam; hence the name. In the 19th century, a section of it was filled in.
You can watch my 4 min 41 sec Video Amsterdam in the evening part 1 out of my Youtube channel or here on VT.
Coming from the Amsterdam Central Station (train), you'll definitely walk along this wide street to get to the Dam Square. This street will be your first taste of the city. Filled with lots of restaurants, shops, museums, hotels, the best frenchfries in Amsterdam (Manequin Pis, anyone can argue on this), and finally where I almost got hit by a bicyle!
Most - if not all - trams passes along this street.
The Damrak is a wide avenue at the centre of Amsterdam, between Amsterdam Centraal railway station and Dam Square, running north-south. There are a lot of tram lines an one metro line running down it. Because of the former stock exchange building, the monumental Beurs van Berlage (now used for other purposes), and several other buildings related to financial activities erected there in the early 20th century, the term "Damrak" has come to be a synonym for the Amsterdam Stock Exchange in the same way "Wall Street" is synonymous with the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. The street was located on a rak (reach), a straight part of the Amstel river near a dam; hence the name.
Damrak es una avenida ancha en el centro de Ámsterdam, entre la estación de tren Amsterdam Centraal y la plaza Dam, llendo de Norte a Sur. Hay muchas líneas de tranvía y una de metro por debajo. El término "Damrak" se ha convertido en sinónimo de la Bolsa de Ámsterdam gracias al edificio de la antigua bolsa que se encontraba aquí, en el monumental Beurs van Berlage (ahora con otros usos), así también como por otros edificios relacionados con actividades financieras, tal como ocurre con "Wall Street" como sinónimo de la Bolsa de Nueva York y el NASDAQ. La calle se encontraba sobre un "rak" (parte recta del río Amstel) cerca de una presa o "dam", así que de ahí le viene el nombre.
Just take a ride and/or walk and discover the beautiful city of Amsterdam.
It's a very charming city. I just had wished I discovered the place many years earlier and stayed for a few more days on this first trip to Amsterdam.
I forgot the name of the main street in Amsterdam connecting railway station and Dam Square. Lot of restaurants, shops and other spots. Sex Museum on the right side of the street just a few steps from the station.
The Damrak - this is one of the main streets in the centre of the city leading from the Dam Square to Centraal Station at the other end. Its lined with many restaurants, fast food outlets, shops (lots of touristy ones and a rather cool year round Christmas shop), Casino, hotels etc
You will find the Sex Museum and bar & gift shops on this street. Only for tourists. I still remember one night when one tram step over a bicycle, and the ambulance was picking up the rider on the ground!
After visiting Sint Nikolaaskerk you should head for Damrak, one the main shopping streets in Amsterdam. This street stands between Centraal Station and Dam Square.
This is a bustling street, where you will find lots of shopping options as well as fast food restaurants. There are also some must see sites, such as Beurs von Berlage and Sex Museum.
When you are out from the central station, the first street in front of you is the Damrak.. If you are returning back by a train, it will also be the last street::)..
Damrak is full of souvenir shops.. Where you can find delf made dutch tiles, wooden shoes, all kind of t-shirts and other small gifts..
You haven't seen the city until you have walked down Damrak.
Full of souvenier shops, restaurants and bars. This is the main artery leading from Centraal Station to Dam Square.
Beware of the trams!
Simply walk around the central station area. You can see the small shops with interesting souveniers and stuffs. Also there is one lane of the street where all the sex shops are. We won't brave enough to go there by night so we had a taste of it while it is bright. =)

Thanks for helping!
During our stay in Eastham we sampled a variety of Sam's foods including sandwiches, pies, lasagne and cookies. All were very tasty and good value for money. Highly recommended.
When were away on vacation we eat out a lot or we stay in our trailer and have a sandwich; but not when we're vacationing in or near Eastham. Sam's deli has a large assortment of cold and hot sandwiches and dinners and there's something new every day. You can eat at SAMs deli every day for a month and...
Quick friendly service & delicious food especially the artisan breads. The coffee is great too. Open at 6:30 am which is earlier than most.
The food is delicious, esp the breads. But the service is slow and unfriendly, unhelpful and even sometimes rude - don't you want us to buy your products? Also expensive.
Stopped to pick up sandwiches. Many options and gluten free bread which is a big bonus. Close to ocean beaches.
Order ahead and pick up easy. The sandwiches are great portions and delicious. Service is fast and friendly too.
Delicious sandwich place that offers many choices. Sam's also offers chips, fruits, bakery goods, and wines next door. We stop there every time we visit the outer cape.
On our way to Nauset beach we stopped for sandwiches. If you are in a hurry call ahead. The wait was about 40 minutes but the sandwich was worth the wait.
Year after year this deli continues to please. Fresh salads, foods, sandwiches, baked goods, some market items and yup a little butcher section too.
Worth the trip every time!
Thanks Sam's for being a deli we can count on - year after year!
Great selection of tasty sandwiches for all times of the day. Fresh and tasty food. No seating area except for about 5 picnic tables outside.

General Arrangement
Avedan has been built as an aft pilothouse model with port and starboard side decks as opposed to the standard starboard side deck-only arrangement of the Nordhavn 76. The aft pilothouse model has a large open arrangement with the salon joining the galley at the forward end. The result is an airy and social environment on the main deck. Avedan is beautifully appointed with simple and contemporary soft goods and furniture. The interior joinery is predominantly African cherry (makore), with accents of wenge in areas such as bed pedestals and smaller furniture.
Step aboard from either side deck and enter the interior through the port or starboard side doors, or aft cockpit/salon door. The salon space feels comfortable right from the start. The cabin sole is covered in a Donegal tweed natural wool carpet. The overhead panels are detailed in wood and contrasting fabric covered panels. The installed furniture is plush and comfortable and was re-upholstered in 2014. To starboard is an L-shaped sofa, and to port cabinetwork forming storage lockers forward along the outboard side of the salon. Forward on the starboard side is an armchair and table with lamp. Above the wood joiner work the walls are sheathed in a woven textured fabric covering that is reflective and warm. Taken all together, the interior soft goods add to the already considerable standard sound attenuation measures that are incorporated by Nordhavn in the construction process, which also include rubber gasketed doorjambs throughout the interior.
Next forward on the starboard side is the galley with a functionally shaped granite- topped counter defining its perimeter, and providing efficient dining or serving surfaces. The galley is perfectly configured for dining or entertaining. Along with the pilothouse, it serves very well as a social gathering place.
The appliances in the galley, including an induction cooktop, are all first quality and beautifully integrated into the cabinetwork. A mosaic tile backsplash extends from the countertop to the cabinet joinery above.
Flexibility of operation – crew accommodation
The Nordhavn 76 is deceptively easy to maneuver and to run. In fact, many 76's are run by cruising couples, though Avedan has had a professional captain onboard full time under her current ownership. Among the advantages are five control stations: pilothouse, port and starboard wing stations on the Portuguese bridge, and aft cockpit station. But, should the owners elect, the interior layout will also accommodate a basic crew of captain and mate. (See "Captain's Cabin, below for details)

Evans EC2 SST Fusion Drumhead Pack
This Evans EC2S Frosted Head features an Edge Control ring around the outside that boosts articulation and focus by dampening unwanted overtones. They're durable thanks to their construction: two-plies of 7-mil film.
EC2S Frosted heads are great for rock, funk, and all heavier styles of play because of the extremely clear attack and pre-EQ'd sound.
The textured surface of this head makes it responsive to brushes, enhancing low frequencies for a slightly darker sound than a clear head.
Edge Control Rings are sized according to head diameter to provide the same level of dampening.

Slate reviewed the Responsive Ed curriculum, one used by the secular arm of a religious curriculum provider run by a creationist. Responsive Ed takes religious curricula and removes explicit references to religion.
Responsive Ed teaches its students that "anti-Christian bias" was responsible for World War I and the breakdown of the divine right of kings: "[T]he abandoning of religious standards of conduct and the breakdown in respect for governmental authority would lead to one of two options: either anarchy or dictatorship would prevail in the absence of a monarch." But what really takes the cake is Founders Classical Academy in Lewisville, Texas, a Responsive Ed school, uses the right-wing Patriot's History of the United States (2004) by Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen as its U.S. history textbook. This is a book endorsed by both Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh
This is how the book begins:
Is America's past a tale of racism, sexism, and bigotry? Is it the story of the conquest and rape of a continent? Is U.S. history the story of white slave owners who perverted the electoral process for their own interests? Did America start with Columbus's killing all the Indians, leap to Jim Crow laws and Rockefeller crushing the workers, then finally save itself with Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal? The answers, of course, are no, no, no, and NO.
One might never know this, however, by looking at almost any mainstream U.S. history textbook. Having taught American history in one form or another for close to sixty years between us, we are aware that, unfortunately, many students are berated with tales of the Founders as self-interested politicians and slaveholders, of the icons of American industry as robber-baron oppressors, and of every American foreign policy initiative as imperialistic and insensitive. At least Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States honestly represents its Marxist biases in the title!
Since I'm not particularly interested in modern history, I'm going to take a look at the section on early exploration, just as I previously did with the parallel section of Howard Zinn's People's History.
The first chapter begins by explaining that European powers were motivated as much by the need to bring the Gospel to the pagans as by the potential for capital gain, both, of course, being virtues since God and money are so closely entwined (Matthew 6:24). It then states that the Vikings were the first Europeans to discover America, sometime around 1000, at Vinland, but that its "historical impact was minimal." This, at least, is correct.
The authors go on to state that voyages of discovery became possible because European monarchs had consolidated their kingdoms into "cohesive" dynastic states, which I'm not sure would accurately describe the uneasy union of Aragon and Castile, which remained politically independent despite passing under the name of Spain. They further state that the Protestant Reformation after 1517 spurred colonization as England and Spain acted out of fear that the other would convert new peoples to the wrong religion. This seems to be prima facie false since Spain and Portugal had colonized big chunks of Africa and the Americas prior to the Protestant Reformation, and the biggest colonial dispute of the era was between those two powers, adjudicated by no less a Catholic figure than the Pope, who gave Portugal everything east of Brazil and Spain everything west.
The authors describe Columbus as having undertaken his voyage of discovery in order to Christianize the people of Asia, and they claim that "only a few merchants, explorers, and dreamers" took interest in Columbus's discoveries. This would seem at odds with the fact that as far abroad as Turkey the cartographer Piri Reis included Columbus's material in his world map of 1513, testifying to the rapid diffusion of knowledge of the New World across the Old beyond merely a "few" merchants and dreamers.
But, overall, this early section is not too far from mainstream facts. Then things get a little wonky.
In describing the conquest of Mexico, the authors claim that the Spanish encountered "powerful Indians called Aztecs," which is not true since the name Aztec was invented by Baron Alexander von Humboldt in 1810. The Aztec called themselves Mexica, but the Europeans of the 1800s didn't want modern Mexicans to feel a connection to pre-Conquest peoples. The authors further castigate the Aztecs for brutality and for running a "monstrously" large city with rigid class segregation, as though the Spanish were not equally devoted to preserving the distinction between nobility and commoner.
Let us not mince words. The Aztecs had some of the bloodiest sacrifices in all of world history, but the exact number of sacrifices is not known. The authors take Spanish accounts of Aztec sacrifices uncritically at face value, and they report that the Aztec sacrificed fourteen prisoners per minute for days at a time during festivals. The authors state that Cortes achieved a "stunning" victory over the "murderous mass of Aztecs" because each Castilian soldier had a "sense of individual rights, civic duty, and personal freedom nonexistent in the Aztec kingdom." These were also non-existent back home in Spain, where subjects owed fealty to their sovereign and lords; where civic duty was obedience to God, king, and lord; and where, let us not forget, the sovereign received automatic pro forma rubberstamp approval of all acts from the Cortes, and—oh, yeah—the Inquisition was busy upholding the "individual rights" of non-Catholics to convert or leave.
The authors then claim that Europeans emphasized "group cohesion of free citizens," which made them both tactically and morally superior to disorganized native peoples. They claim that most native peoples "lived off the land" while Europeans had "industrial" power that freed them from subsistence concerns. So who do they think was living the "monstrously" large city of Tenochtitlan, and who was feeding them? Where did they think "industrial" power came from before the Industrial Revolution?
They then claim that Spain—and indeed all Europe—at the time had "the legal framework of republicanism and civic virtue" that allowed their forces to continue on while the monarchical natives gave up as soon as their chief was slain. I imagine Emperor Charles V (who was also King Carlos I of Spain) would be quite surprised to learn that he presided over a republic, or the Iroquois to learn that their semi-democratic Confederacy was really an absolute monarchy in disguise.
A sub-section discusses whether Columbus was responsible for genocide, comparing "the intrepid voyager's courage and vision" to "anti-Columbus groups" who begrudge "the establishment of European civilization in the New World." They assert that as few as 1.8 million Native Americans (whom they call "Indians") lived in North America in 1491 (despite also claiming that "hordes" of hundreds of thousands of Aztecs attacked Cortes), and they deny that European-borne diseases caused a population collapse. They purposely bounce back and forth between North America above the Rio Grande and the Americas in general in order to confuse the numbers and minimize the population crash that followed Contact by restricting the inquiry solely to North America, which had a sparser population than the cities south of the Rio Grande.
That said, there is genuine controversy over the size of the Native population in 1491, but no serious historian doubts, as these authors seem to do (though not consistently), that European contact had a significant and damaging effect on Native peoples. The scholarly consensus is that as many as 90% of Native people died as a result of Contact. Advocates of high and low estimates have accused the other side bias against Native Americans or Western Civilization respectively.
More specifically, the authors claim, citing Betty Meggers, that the Conquistadors' estimates of Native populations were exaggerated, which might well be true, except that the authors just finished telling us that they accepted without question the Conquistadors' reports of Aztec sacrifices in all their exaggerated numbers. In their view, the structure of the Aztec hegemony was the real force allowing the Conquest since the Aztecs were so highly centralized that the Spanish merely took over for them, so that the common man merely "exchanged of group of despots for another." This grossly oversimplifies the complex structure of Aztec hegemony, which, unlike the Inca Empire, was not an absolute monarchy but a federated system of alliances. They also blame the Natives for dying off from their own native diseases. Citing the climate-driven population collapse of the Great Basin in the 1200s and 1300s, they assert that Native populations were already in decline in the 1400s. In their view, Native Americans were doomed to die no matter what, and at best Europe merely accelerated the process.
They conclude the section by again mixing North America with Latin America when convenient for their views. They describe the emergence of the mestizo class in Mexico through the intermarriage of Spaniards and Natives, whose major achievement, they say, was adopting European culture.
At no time in this discussion of first contact do they present even a moment's consideration of the Native peoples from their own perspective, seeing them only in terms of their role in the European narrative. For the authors, Native peoples were, in short, bloodthirsty, authoritarian warrior-monsters who nonetheless were also a sickly, miniscule race of primitives doomed to extinction. Strangely, this was also the view of many historians in the early 1800s, during the run-up to the Removal Act.
The Patriot's History version of the Conquest is just as horrible as Howard Zinn's, but from a completely opposing point of view. Neither one should be used as a school text book.

Gay-Straight Alliance Arouses Controversy In Rural Tennessee….
The formation of a gay-straight alliance at a high school in rural Tennessee has sparked backlash from the community, and its continued existence will be the subject of debate at a school board meeting tonight.
Officials at Franklin County High School in Winchester OK'd the group in December, reports the Murfreesboro Daily News Journal. It has been meeting weekly, with about 50 students attending last week's session. But as word of the club has spread, several district residents have spoken out against it, with some using extremely harsh rhetoric.
One of them, John Wimley, wrote on his Facebook page in January that if the GSA is not quashed, "the next thing you know they will have F.I.M.A. (Future ISIS Members of America)."
Wimley set up an event page on Facebook in addition to his personal page, calling for a rally in conjunction with tonight's board meeting, but it has now been taken down, according to a page for supporters of the alliance. But the Franklin County School Board has placed a review of school club policies on the agenda, notes the supporters' page, which urges allies to come to the meeting.
Wimley told the Daily News Journal that anti-LGBT discrimination isn't a problem at the 1,500-student high school. "It's everyone else that's trying to make it a problem," he said. He also said clubs dealing with sexuality or religion should meet off-campus only, and of the ISIS comment, he said, "Maybe it was a mistake. But it was a statement that needed to be made."
Jennie Turrell, faculty adviser for the GSA, called the statement "outrageous" but said she encouraged students not to respond in kind. "When I talk to my students about it I say, 'OK, folks. This is outrageous. You don't need to get worked up about it because you know it's outrageous,'" she told the newspaper.
Turrell and others said there is indeed anti-LGBT harassment at Franklin County High School. "This is a particular group of students that's found hostility in the community," Turrell told the Daily News Journal. "If we can't give them a safe space in their faith community or in the community, then where else are they going to find it but in a public school system?"
Student Allie Faxon, who has been dating another girl for two years, said schoolmates have directed slurs at her, and posters for the GSA have often been torn down. "We all have common troubles," she said of her fellow GSA members. "By having the club, even people who aren't out can come and have a place to be themselves."
Last month, posters advertising the GSA were torn down, with some vandalized, crossed out with a circle akin to a "No Smoking" sign, and the words "straight pride" scrawled across the top. After administrators took down the posters, several students pinned them to their shirts — and were not punished for doing so.
Franklin County Schools director Amie Lonas said GSA organizers "followed the proper procedure to establish the club" and that it has a right to be on campus under the federal Equal Access Act of 1984. She also took issue with the assertion by Wimley and other opponents that the club is focused on sexuality. "It's a safe environment for students to get together and just talk," Lonas told the Murfreesboro paper.
The Franklin County School Board will meet at 6:30 tonight. Representatives of the Middle Tennessee Chapter of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network are scheduled to be on hand to support the GSA.

Evangelicals At Odds With Business Over Convention Losses….
Passage of the new measures is far from certain and Republican Gov. Mike Pence, who supported the religious objections law, has said he will prioritize religious freedom over LGBT rights.
The results of the survey by Visit Indy, obtained by The Associated Press on Monday ahead of its Thursday release, found that 12 out-of-state groups all cited the uproar over the law as one reason they chose different locations for their conventions.
Visit Indy, which has backed LGBT protections, put the impact of those conventions at $60 million, including hotel room rentals, meal purchases, entertainment expenditures and shopping figures, as well as state and local taxes. That's against $4.4 billion a year in economic impact such gatherings have yielded in recent years.
To business leaders, the findings confirm Indiana's economy was harmed by the law, which drew swift and largely negative attention. Companies and groups such as the NCAA, Cummins Inc. and Eli Lilly and Co. say it underscores the need for protections for anyone fired from a job, denied service or evicted because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
"We've been saying all along that the impact to our state is very real," said Jon Mills, a spokesman for the Columbus-based diesel equipment manufacturer Cummins. "We need to create an environment that is welcoming and inclusive if we want other people to come here, whether that's top talent we want to recruit and retain, or conventions."
Democratic gubernatorial candidate John Gregg said the report illustrates a "failure" by Pence and is proof that his policies hurt Indiana's economy. Pence's office said Monday that Indiana was a "welcoming" state and many organizations have expanded their role or recommitted to hosting events in the state.
Evangelical groups questioned whether the impact was even significant amid signs of an improving economy and low statewide unemployment. They also accuse Indiana's business establishment of using the issue to coerce lawmakers into adopting laws that could compel Christian business owners to provide services to LGBT people against their religious beliefs
Micah Clark of the American Family Association of Indiana doubts all the conventions would have indeed chosen Indianapolis. "It's speculative," he said. "That's like me saying I'm boycotting Ferraris. Well, I was never going to buy a Ferrari anyway."
Visit Indy said all 12 groups surveyed said without being prompted that the law played a role in their decision to hold their events elsewhere.
The AP independently confirmed that one organization, the International Association of Fairs and Expositions, bypassed Indianapolis due in part to the law. Indianapolis was a finalist after the group decided to no longer hold its four-day event in Las Vegas, said Marla Calico, the association's president and CEO.
"There were some of our members who were aware that the city was under consideration, and a few were very vocal that they didn't think it would be appropriate," Calico said.
She said the reaction to the new law was "a piece of the equation" when her group decided not to choose Indianapolis, which she said was otherwise appealing because of its amenities and central location.

Maine Governor Stops Rules For Protecting Transgender Students….
Gov. Paul LePage is stopping the Maine Human Rights Commission and the Department of Education from issuing rules protecting transgender students. Schools instead are being given guidelines that lack the force of law.
A lead Democrat on the issue said LePage is putting vulnerable teens at risk.
Rep. Matthea Daughtry of Brunswick says the rules are required by the 2013 Maine Supreme Judicial Court's decision in favor of Nicole Maines, a transgender student in Orono who was barred from using a bathroom appropriate for her gender.
LePage spokeswoman Adrienne Bennett said LePage has read the court decision and believes it requires the Legislature to take action, and that new rules are not required.
Daughtry said LePage is misinterpreting the court's decision.
"The governor is violating the law by refusing to let the rule-making go forward," she said. "He's putting our students at risk."
Richard Durost, executive director of the Maine Principals' Association, said the vast majority of Maine's high schools have already addressed the points in the guidelines, such as allowing transgender students to play sports with teams corresponding with their gender identity.
He said the new guidelines "have no teeth to them" because schools face no penalties if they disregard them.
"The positive thing about this is most school systems are already moving in this direction anyway," he said.

Daughter Of Ronald Reagan: Dad's Ignorance During AIDS Crisis Was "A Really Tragic Flaw"….
Ronald Reagan's daughter puts at least part of the blame for her father's years of inaction during the AIDS crisis on those around him when he was president of the US from 1981-89.
'I'm not gonna make excuses for the failure of his administration to address the AIDS crisis when it was going on. It was a failure. And it hurts my heart that that happened on so many levels,' Patti Davis, the youngest of Reagan's four children, tells James Duke Mason in a new interview.
'One of my father's flaws was that he delegated authority to other people and relied on them to give him the appropriate information on things. Presidents get briefings every morning. So they do rely on people to bring them information on what's going on and there were people around him who did not want him dealing with the AIDS crisis.
'I'm not making excuses for him,' Davis adds. 'I'm saying that's a flaw of his, and in this case it turned out to be a really tragic flaw. He didn't really know the extent of what was going on until Rock Hudson died.'
Reagan did not utter the word 'AIDS' until he was into the second term of his presidency despite the staggering number of Americans – mostly gay men – who died from complications from the disease.
He first said the word 'AIDS' publicly in 1985 while responding to a reporter's question. That was the same year his old Hollywood friend, closeted movie star Hudson, succumbed to the disease.
But Reagan did not give his first major address on the disease until 1987 and by that time there were more than 12,500 known deaths from AIDS in the US, according to AMFAR.org.

High School Students Wear "Straight Pride" Signs To Protest Gay-Straight Alliance….
It began when a group of students at Franklin County High School in Winchester, Tennessee (pop.8,527) formed a Gay-Straight Alliance earlier this month.
When parent and small business owner John Wimley learned of the group, he launched a Facebook page encouraging people to attend the next school board meeting to stand up against the "future ISIS members of America" (AKA gay kids) and "protect traditional marriage."
"OK F.C. [Franklin County] if we do not ban [SIC] together and stop this B.S. the next thing you know they will have a F.I.M.A. (Future ISIS Members of America) #PutGodInSchoolsPlease," Wimley rallied. "Time to Stand Up for what is RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Others were quick to join the cause.
"GOD bless you for standing for what is right," Tina K. Millson wrote. "These gays have no right forceing [sic] their lifestyle of sin on these poor children of GOD."
"Why is it so important for the LBGT WXYZ community to have 100% support with no opposing opinions?" Greg Gunn added.
"School is for learning, library is for reading, restaurants for eating," Kayla Ehlers said. "Lets [sic] keep loving, hugging, hand holding, kissing, and sexual ordination for our personal lives at home."
In response, supporters of the GSA launched their own Facebook page calling on people to boycott Wimley's business, the Tennessee Car Care Center.
But the damage caused by Wimley was already done.
In a Facebook post, one supporter of the GSA reported that some students has begun wearing "Straight Pride" signs around school and that the GSA's posters advertising the club's meetings had been defaced with words like "no gay allowed" and "faggots."
Despite all this, members of the school's GSA refuse to be intimidated.
"We are incredibly grateful for this extraordinary showing of love and support for our LGBT community here in rural TN," the club's faculty advisor wrote. "We never imagined that the love in the world for us was this strong. Thank you for walking with us on our journey."

Mom Of Gay Teen Sues High School Claiming Teacher Harassed, Threatened To Kill Her Son….
A mother is suing an Oregon school district, claiming a teacher threatened to kill her son, who is a special education student and gay. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court, also names five employees, including the teacher, Brett Trosclair, and says her son was subjected to repeated acts of "harassment and discrimination" by school staff. She's filed a federal First and Fourteenth Amendment lawsuit claiming his constitutional rights were violated. The suit will also test the federal Title IX law, alleging sex discrimination.
The Oregonian reports that in a March assembly last year, her son "told his friend that he thought another student was cute, according to the lawsuit. Trosclair then turned around, the son said, and told the boys to 'shut up.' Then the teacher threatened to kill them and throw them down the stairs, the suit alleges."
"Defendants had an unofficial policy, custom or practice of condoning harassment and discrimination based on sexual orientation," the lawsuit states. "Defendents' conduct toward Plaintiff was extreme and outrageous and constitutes an extraordinary transgression of the bounds of socially tolerable conduct," it adds.
Dicintio's son, identified in the suit only as "J.D.," and the student he was talking with complained, and the teacher was placed on administrative leave.
The lawsuit details other times Dicintio says school staff engaged in harassment or bullying of her son.
"In May 2014, she alleges, the school's dean of students refused to help the student while he was being verbally and physically assaulted in the lunchroom," the Oregonian reports.
In September 2014, Dicintio alleges, another teacher told her son "to stop being a diva and a priss." After Dicintio complained, the superintendent's executive council reviewed the district's policies on bullying and harassment. The district also offered multiple two-hour trainings so staff could learn about LGBTQ and gender issues to better meet the needs of gay and transgender students.
Still, Dicintio's lawsuit says district officials did not do enough and instead caused her son "emotional distress, embarrassment, humiliation, anxiety, stress and fear."
Meanwhile students have rallied around the teacher, who has retuned to the school. They say he was joking, and they've created a Facebook support page for him and on Twitter are using the hashtag #TeamTrosclair to offer support to the teacher.
