After a number of complaints, a Colorado school district has switched course and decided to allow a student to wear a pro-gay rights T-shirt.

Earlier this month, Falcon High School senior Kate Cohn was banned from wearing a T-shirt that read, “Marriage is so gay.” School officials told her the top was disruptive to learning and could also offend other students.

So the American Civil Liberties Union sent a letter to the school just east of Colorado Springs, demanding that Cohn be allowed to wear the shirt. Cohn says she was making a silent, peaceful, political statement to support the rights of gays and lesbians to marry, Bente Birkeland at OutQ News Blog reports.
