PELHAM, N.H. -- Police say a 14-year-old pupil has admitted posting notes around Pelham High School insulting students believed to be gay or lesbian.

The notes triggered an investigation by police and concern among parents and students.

School Superintendent Elaine Cutler said the notes were found last week. This week, a list labeling five students "homomaniacs" and warning others to stay away from them was found in a school hallway. She said the notes did not threaten violence, but upset some students.

Punishment for the 14-year-old will be determined by school officials, police and the student’s parents.
