Four former members of the Palmer High School yearbook staff are protesting after a school adviser ordered them to eliminate a picture identifying a gay couple.
Students Rudolpho Tribulio and Anna Carmicheal told KRDO-TV that their yearbook adviser told them that a photo of a lesbian couple holding hands could not be on a page they were creating about high school relationships.
District spokeswoman Devra Ashby said the photo was one of three rejected for violating a policy against “excessive displays of public affection.”
She says the yearbook is replacing the relationship page with a diversity page.
