Betty McNeely and George Summers, together for almost five years, share a hug as they remember how they met. Both members of the Sno-Valley Senior Center in Carnation, they caught each other’s eyes at Betty’s bridge club.
This love story is missing something. It has all the high points, from boy-meets-girl to boy-and-girl-date. It’s got all the flirting, all the blushing, all the hand-holding, giggling, and gentle words of love, too. All the meaningful looks are there, in spades. What it’s missing, though, is the awkwardness and uncertainty that usually precede all of those other things. So, how did they get past that point, and on to the good parts? George Summers and Betty McNeely look at each other before answering, and Betty’s cheeks begin to color. They both laugh. They can’t explain it.

Letters | Mount Si's Gay Straight Alliance helps students

“Unless we are all free, none of us is free.” “Here, I am given the right everyone else takes for granted: the right to be honest about the most rudimentary facts of my life. I can speak freely without fear of ridicule, because my identity is not treated as an issue to debate but as a simple reality.” “Once a week I can walk into room 303 and feel like I belong at MSHS.” These comments were provided by students in the Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) at MSHS during the first-ever GSA parent meeting last week. They brought home the truth for those there: that GSA is one of the most important clubs at MSHS. It is also one of the biggest and most active, with 30 – 40 students attending weekly.
