GURNEE, Ill. (WLS) -- There are calls for a suburban school board member to resign after she said the district, which is searching for a superintendent, shouldn't hire someone who is gay.
The comment came from Warren Township High School District 121 Board Member Liz Biondi during a public meeting last week.
"I'm being very honest. I have no problems with gay and lesbians, I personally know many. I know some who are (in the) closet and I respect that," Biondi said.
Biondi says she apologizes to everyone she offended. She says she was asking a question someone else wanted her to ask.
