Hope Amid the Gloom
Just a quick blog to let you know that there is hope out there! I was on hand to help SpeakOut Boston's Annual GLBTQI speaker training this weekend and I was just blown away by the level of committment the trainees had to making our world a more tolerant and accepting place for Gays, Lesbians, Bisexual, Transgendered, Questioning, Intersexed individuals and their families and friends.
A glimpse at the people who made this weekend so memorable:
Joe: An HIV+ HR specialist with a unique and touching relationship with his mom.
Barbara: An 84-years-young sister to a gay brother.
Henri: The FTM speaker who everybody had a crush on (including me).
Bill: The SpeakOut veteran who kept my kids entertained.
Markeda: An African American lesbian who came all the way from Appleton, Wisconsin just to attend the training.
Leo: A PFLAG member with a powerful story to tell about standing up to bullies.
Marjorie: The tough cookie who impressed me from the very beginning and proved to be an absolute natural at story-telling.
...and Romel: The youngest of the group, he held his own with this formidable bunch, and I expect great things from this young man!
