'...the absolute terror that AIDS gravestone warning advert in the UK instilled in me. The resounding message about being gay was BE AFRAID'
'I recall being acutely anxious about Section 28; worrying about a teacher that we all quietly assumed was gay...' (pt1)
'...I certainly never suffered from the kind of bullying an out kid will. But on some level I did know, always, and so did other people' pt2
'Did I grow up gay? I identified as straight as a teen; I had straight relationships as a teen...' @mssusieday talks identification, part 1
if you missed the memo yesterday, this week we've got the wondrous @mssusieday talking QUILTBAG ID & identification: diversifya.com/?p=1249
3 facts about @mssusieday: 1. She's great. 2. She makes more than 1/2 the @_DiversifYA team into crush monsters. 3. She's on the blog NOW
DiversifYA retweeted
I continue to talk about race because race continues to impact my life & the lives of those who look like me. I'm not the enemy, racism is.
somewhat chaotic at @_DiversifYA today, but not so much so that we'd miss out on interviewing the fab @mssusieday: diversifya.com/?p=1249

"I always tell kids, if you don't see yourself in books it's the books' fault, it's not your fault." @Patrick_Ness #ALAN15
should clarify, "from me" in terms of retweeting. I am not as awesome or articulate as @austinchanted clearly!
few final thoughts for me from #TransYAChat before sleep claims me...

Responding to a librarian who said, "We don't have any kids like Nate at our school." @TimFederle asked, "Do you have any wizards?" #NCTE15
