We do a student in-service day at the high school where I teach. We are hoping to bring in a guest speaker to talk about a) being gay and b) living with HIV. My principal thought it would be a great prequil to my transition next September.
I have had a student come out to me this year. As a result, I have been pushing to start a gay-straight alliance where I teach. With a bit of luck,I am hoping to have our guest speaker address these kids as well in a break out session.

Wow, this sort of thing does make one hope that the world is maybe changing, bit by bit.
And Chaunte: Good on ya! You're the kind of teacher I could really have done with when I was at school. Thanks for being there for your kids.
