No Politics… Just a Share
As tempted as I was this morning to write (errr, vent) about the election and what pleased and displeased me this morning, I’m saving it for my personal blog. When my son started Junior High School in All I could imagine was everyone at school thinking my son was gay and picking on him for being a member of this club. All he saw however was supporting a large group of his friends in a cause they both believed in (equal rights for all.) This is his third year of being a member. He’s been the only male member AND the only straight member for all three years. He’s sat at their table in the quad during “Club Day” and told people why it’s important to support all classmates at the school. He’s sympathized with his friends when they’re bullied and have issues. He’s been the butt of some jokes, but this being It’s for sure not a popular club, full of popular kids, but I’m proud to know there’s some things my son already knows are more important in life. Like… helping each other, looking out for one another, being there for your friends and neighbors, working to make the world a better place. I couldn’t be more proud if he were the first straight president of the GSA. 5 comments from 4 users
