Petty? Maybe? In late spring, a town commissioner spouted some very homophobic comments from the dais. This person was someone my teen respected and had numerous interactions with in the past. After no response to our emails, we agreed to a news interview.
In August, she just bought the tagged book, & I did not have time to drop her at home before my board mtg. Guess who was there? Guess who sat down & read ⬆️ book right in front of him? ⬇️
alisiakae Yes. My brave teen pulled up a chair, sat down, and spent the next 45 minutes reading this book right in front of the homophobic Commissioner. It took guts. I was so proud of her courage.
