Hall is also the editor of Taking Sides: Family and Personal Relationships, a publication by McGraw-Hill.[4] In 2010, Dr. Hall was awarded the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network Educator of the Year Runner-Up award.[5] He also won a top award in the state for civics curriculum development during this same year. This recognition was awarded by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and PennCORD, a civics education program championed by federal judge and Pennsylvania First Lady Marjorie Rendell.[6]

In February 2012, Hall wrote an article for CNN, about the television show Glee, in which he expressed the following opinion:

The storyline on "Glee" captures something larger that we are seeing with a new generation of allies (allies are people who support LGBT rights but aren't LGBT themselves).
