What can we do to support the "Don't say gay" campaign in our schools and bring about real reform for youth?

Something like this was done in Britain in the 1980's and took the best part of twenty years to repeal. Clause 22 (the anti-teaching about gay law) is still pretty much legal in Scotland and Northern Ireland, which is as near as we get to a state where backward religious hillbillies make the law. Be warned, America, let your religious and social rednecks enact bad law and you're pretty much stuck with it - this is one of many Tory laws dating from the Thatcher years that Blair's lily-livered useless bodies refused to repeal in its entity. After a succession of right-wing ideologues and maniacs we got Blair - after a succession of right-wing idiots and ideologues you got Obama. A seeming reformer who had more to do with preserving the old order than dismantling its injustices.
