A brave elementary school teacher recently decided to come out to his students as part of anti-bullying week. He asked his students if they had ever heard someone use the word “gay” as an insult.
A nine-year-old student wrote the following letter to Mr. R after his announcement:
Dear Mr R,
Even though you’re gay, I will always treat you the same way as I do now. I still think about you the same way as I used to. You’re a great teacher and these are just some of the word’s (sic) that I would describe you as: great, amazing, fantastic, brilliant, awesome and brave.
The reason why I say brave is because you shared a personal secret which was very brave.
You don’t have to feel scared because I know that everyone in the class feels the same way as I do.
From A x x
PS. We are all proud of you
