Powerful & insightful presentation.As a much older gay man,(well out of my teens), I weep whenever I hear of a young LBGT person being harassed,bullied or worse,killed simply 'cause of who they are! As a teen in the 70s times were pretty grim for me as a gay teen but I despair at how nothing seems to have changed.Yes,we may have some 'protection' in law now.But bigotry & hate is still rife.Your project WILL succeed,of that I'm sure.Well done to all involved.

Great job everyone. Powerful message that you delivered on point. Borrowing from Dr. Angelou's "I Will Rise" is a great choice". I'm sure you will ace this project.
