Thank you so much for this important pos...Dear Sue,<br />Thank you so much for this important post. It is incumbent on all of us who are educators to confront bullying and hate speech and be allies for all the bullied, especially LGBT young people. <a href="www.glsen.org" rel="nofollow">GLSEN</a> offers wonderful resources for educators from great information about LGBT historical figures to sample conversations to have with students who use hate speech. <br /><br />Your story of finding little information or role models as a teenager reminded me of something a YA author said when I heard her speak several years ago. "In my high school library, not only did I not see my black face reflected in the books, I certainly didn't see my lesbian face reflected." <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your story.Quilted Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208293296211517857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-38501313759887078742010-10-08T15:46:44.584-04:002010-10-08T15:46:44.584-04:00Sue, I remember classroom bullies when I was a chi...Sue, I remember classroom bullies when I was a child.

Butnow bullying has escalated to a degree of cruelty and violence unknown in those days.I was very moved by your blog.Thank you.Jan Greenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07465907336433326017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-35674288005739569162010-10-08T15:04:19.848-04:002010-10-08T15:04:19.848-04:00Hey Sue--I went to the different sites and agree w...Hey Sue--I went to the different sites and agree with you 100%.
