I came home from work last night and my holdest son and daughter told me some news about something that happened to one of their friends. Their friend was called into the office just hear he could no longer wear girls clothes to school. My daughter happened to be out side the office when he came storming out of the office in tears. She followed him to where he was at and sat down beside him. She told him she could understand and she told him all that I have been going through.

The word spread throughout the school and the LBGT teens are going to protest the school for what happened. My son is going to get more information for me.
I have to be there as myself and my teens are wanting to be there with me to support their friend.

This is interesting, and very cool. These teens are actually at the leading end of GLBT non-discrimination, because they're doing something that not a lot of people do; including the "T" at the end of "GLBT".

I'm curious to know more about this. Where will this be taking place? If it's close, I may go myself to show my support.

Cape Girardeau Missouri. I hope I not getting ahead of myself. I will keep everyone posted as to what happening.

Yeah, that's a little bit far away. Keep us posted though!

It is great to read that these teens are so compassionate towards each other. Please keep us updated!

+1 If I lived closer I be there too. The "T" part of LGB"T" is often a "silent T". 

From ->-bleeped-<-: The Losing Side. I wish I lived closer. Change is needed, it's refreshing to see the next generation taking a stance.

this sounds so cool i hope they get through to the school because it's very wrong to discriminate aginst someone just because there young and they think they can bully kids around.

My son got back with me on this finally. we missed it.  He could not find anyone to ask about it. It happend but it was short lived they got into trouble over it. The person that went through it my son said moved to a new school. This another reason for me to be open. I can't stand this crap and we should not have to. but they stood up and they will most likily do it again. No news coverige or anything.

UPDATE

Something did come of it. The school let the kids start a gay straight  alliance club. My son was at the first meeting last night.

Congratulations 

That's definitely a good start, but hopefully that student will be allowed to wear their choice of clothes... As long as they don't go about it in an "angry" kind of way, they should be able to change a few people's minds.

This is the flyer my son brought home to me.

Big crowds... scary!! You'd better make sure that the most vulnerable people there, and you can probably guess who those folk may be, are encased in protective armour before attempting this. XD

In some ways, I'm glad I didn't figure out who I really was until after high school. It was much more peaceful that way.

Nevermind, I assume the protest has already gone and passed? Was anyone hurt?

No, noone was hurt at the protest.

That's good.

that's just wrong, who the hell are they to say what you can or cant wear
