Coming Out Letter and Teacher’s Amazing Response

I came across a letter posted on Gay Star News this morning.  It was about a letter written by an English student to his teacher.  The assignment was to write about  “The weight that I carry daily”, and the student chose to bravely come out.  The article was focused on the amazing response from the teacher in her comments.  They read:

‘I am honored to be a witness to this weight being lifted off. You are an amazing, dynamic, compassionate, ‘with it’ young man who will give the world a gift just by you being you offering your love and spirit.

‘If people choose not to be comfortable with your honesty – their loss my friend – their loss.‘”
