Responses to coming out
I recently came out to the teachers, the board, and my highschool student’s parents at the Workshop and the board and teachers at my full-time job. Here are some of the responses I’ve received…
From a parent who, honestly, I was worried would be a problem:
Please forward to R:
You have our support and and respect and we wish you well on your journey. You are a very brave person and we thank you for all you have taught our children about theater and about life. We teach our children to embrace everyone and to always be true to theirselves. Have a great holiday season. Sending you tons of support….
The X Family
From a fellow teacher:
Rock on, R!
I am honored to know you, R! You are the first person of my acquaintance to transition, and I am in awe of the courage and commitment to self your transitioning represents.
