 When I do queer youth events at school, all of my friends are pretty much involved with me, like all of my friends help with what's in a name and with coming out day. But my peers, they support me but sometimes they don't really take in what we're doing and they still continue to do things that are going against what what's in a name is about. And my involvement is the same because our friends are like really empowering because we're all together doing this. But again, the peers don't really take it in seriously so it's both empowering and a little not so much. What our school could do to make a safer environment for LGBTQ and straight allies is to have more like local events, like for education and stuff like we could have a Watsonville Pride and that's what I think one of our main goals is to do this year. And I believe that my school could like make the punishments harsher for you know when kids say the effort in a derogatory way to kids that aren't even gay, they throw it around so like wastefully they just throw it at everyone and they don't know what they're saying and I really want kids to understand what they're saying because they don't. So I think if the school was to make the punishment harsher for saying things like this kids would understand more what they're saying. I first believed that I was queer friendly. I think I was three. I was watching the Ellen DeGeneres show and Ellen was talking about being a lesbian. I asked my mom what that was well kind of because I was three I didn't really know how to talk and she told me that she was like you know she liked girls and I like I don't know how I was I was kind of against I was like how I'd know Cinderella was never with the girl but then I started to realize I was like there's this whole other side that you know the that society doesn't show you you know. And I began to begin to think I was queer friendly around the age of 10 due to coming back from like a really religious background. I was told that it wasn't okay but then I grew up to think like I can think for myself and this is an okay people are people love is love and I believe what I believe. My favorite movie is Dirty Dancing because it's really cheesy and it has really great dance moves. My favorite movie I think is The Breakfast Club because the characters in there all start off like hating each other for no reason and then towards the end of the movie they realize that they are so similar and they have so much in common and they're all just trying to make it in in life. My favorite color I think is blue because it's a very like deep color there's like a lot of different shades and it has a lot of different meanings it can be like happy and lie or it can be like dark and serious and it's just very mysterious. My favorite color is red because it's bold and that's what I want to come out as.
