From the Advocate:
At a “Breaking the Silence”-themed assembly to honor Martin Luther King Jr., a high school senior used the opportunity to come out to the entire school and discuss the importance of diversity and acceptance and speak out against antigay bullying in schools.
“I’m terrified to share my message,” Kayla begins. “I’m afraid of losing friends and losing loved ones. I’m afraid of losing my reputation at this school and the way people look at me. This speech will change my life forever, but I hope that my words can change more.”
Watch Kayla in the video at the link above. Her words are moving and powerful.
Thanks to David@Montreal for the link.
Mimi, this seems to be a still picture, not a vid?? Unless I'm going mad.
ReplyDeleteWatch Kayla in the video at the link above.
ReplyDeleteCathy, I didn't post the video because it's 8+ minutes long, and my computer is slow to load with long vids.
And yes, I really need to buy a new computer.
Mimi, I'm being thick, sorry. I've now realised where the vid is.
