  5. Forgiving the unforgivable

    In 2004, teenager Michael Hernandez murdered his 14-year-old best friend, Jamie Gough, in a bathroom at Southwood Middle School in Coconut Grove. Gough’s parents, George and Maria, spent the next three years attempting to forgive Hernandez, a path that threatened their marriage and fueled bitter arguments with family friends, who believed the Goughs were foolish to stop hating the convicted boy who killed their child.

  8. Scouting's misstep

    At age 19, when I was an assistant scoutmaster, I was expelled from the Boy Scouts of America for being gay. The very group that had taught me the value of self-respect since I was 8 years old now told me that there was something fundamentally wrong with who I was, and am. Confronting institutional discrimination for the first time, I was overwhelmed with sadness, grief and anger.

  9. Today's Buzz: Allow gay Boy Scouts?

    The 1,400 members of the Boy Scouts of America’s National Council were scheduled to vote at 6 pm Thursday on whether to drop the organization’s 1978 ban on gay scouts. That ban was upheld as constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2000. But four months ago, the organization raised the possibility of accepting gay scouts. Public attitudes on homosexuality have changed significantly since 1978, with 11 states now allowing same-sex marriages. Should the Scouts reverse its policy? Will accepting gays undermine Scout principles? Should policies on sexual orientation be different for youth groups? Talk about it!

  12. News media confidential sources are often what expose government wrongdoing

    It took courage for more than a dozen Allentown police officers to divulge what they felt was wrongdoing by their chief, who they said threatened "retribution" on anyone who did so. It also took solid assurances that the chief would never find out who those whistle-blowers were.
