    Bravo Avid Bookshop in Athens, Ga for not caving in the face of bigotry! The kids at Athens Academy, especially the LGBT ones, won't forget that this little bookstore stood up for them. Ordering some books online tonight. Avid is donating part of the proceeds for children's and young adult book purchases this weekend Athens Pride, an organization that supports LGBT youth in Athens. You can order online or on the phone too. Info and link to website is in the article.
