Quote from: Emma1017 on June 27, 2025, 08:15:42 AMOn Wednesday I got to celebrate Pride Month in a very special way.

I was invited to attend the graduation ceremony for the LGBTQ high school I substitute teach at.  When I showed up, I sat in the back of the hall but the principal insisted that I sit on stage with the other teachers.  He said "You are one of us now."  I was amazingly touched!

As part of the ceremony, the principal introduced each of the teachers, who stood up and were applauded and cheered...and then he called out my name calling me the "supper-sub". The students and parents applauded and cheer me as well.  I was shocked.

It really made Pride Month special for me.  I can't march in parades, wear Pride t-shirts or wave the Rainbow flag the way I wish I could but at least I can celebrate in my heart and share this experience with you all.

Happy Pride Month!









Very nice!

Chrissy
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

That is truly phenomenal, Emma. Thank you for sharing it with us. It helped to make Pride Month special for me, too.
