Principal Daphne Beasley Outs Gay Students

Daphne Beasley, the principal of Hollis F. Price Middle College High School in South Memphis, is accused of outing a pair of gay students who had wanted to keep both their orientation and their relationship secret.

One of the young men, Nicholas, an 11th grader who just made the Dean's List, spoke with Eyewitness News Everywhere. "It was actually frightening," he says, "to see a list with my name on it where not just other teachers could see but students as well."

Nicholas says his teachers and other students treat him differently as a result of Principal Beasley's decision and that he and Andrew have both had to deal with verbal assaults. Nicholas was also not allowed to go on a trip to New Orleans to help rebuild homes because, as one of his teacher's explained, he would "embarrass" the school by engaging in gay affection.

"I really feel that my personal privacy was invaded,"
