Apparently, Topeka KS is in the Fayetteville School District.
Because, if it's not, then whether or not the school has a Gay/Straight Alliance is none of these meddling homophobes' business.
And FYI, you sheet-wearing Nazi busybodies, it is possible to be abstinent and be gay at the same time, recognizing you are primarily attracted to members of your own gender but not acting on it, so it is NOT a "club about sex."
Go join the Taliban. I've got a feeling Osama bin Laden would share your position on gays.

I don't recall the First Amendment specifying that you have to stay in your own school district to peacefully assemble or even requiring that you have to understand your own religion before freely exercising it. (You are right, scripturally correct Christianity doesn't hold homosexuality to be a sin, only male homosexual acts.) But the students didn't do their own cause much good by not being peaceful themselves. "As the church group arrived, many students in the crowd booed and became more visibly irate. A few even threw beverage bottles or containers at the anti-gay activists..."
It's arguable whether homosexual alliances are somehow constitutionally protected, but protesting certainly is and the throwing of bottles at protesters and reporters absolutely is not.
As the Gipper would say, there you go again, arguing against a position I did not take.
I did not comment on the legality of their actions.
Was it legal? Sure.
But that doesn't change their nosiness, or the fact that they are a bunch of meddlesome busybodies who refuse to mind their own business.
Nor does it affect the obvious truth that their opinion of gays has more in common with that of Osama bin Laden than that of Jesus 'Judge not, lest ye be judged likewise' Christ.
They can disagree with the existence of the club all they want in their own homes and in their church. They can even blog about it all they want, but loading up a caravan of zealots to go protest at the school is another matter.
For one thing, the taxpayers of Fayetteville should not be forced to allow them to use government-owned property as a pulpit. Government shouldn't be in the business of subsidizing religion.
