Many Faces, One Vision; 8th Annual Human Rights Campaign Fund Gala

Published in EdCentric (the magazine of the Center for Educational Reform), the article argues that gay students experience "extremely oppressive, lonely and alienating" lives in all levels of education. Blumenfeld, educated in California, documents his own experiences of oppression and alienation in kindergarten, junior high, high school and college, as well as his eventual coming out and membership in the Gay Liberation Front at San Jose State College.
