So, im pretty sure my teacher deserves an award of excellence, amongst many other things. We have just finished watching a movie "CRAZY" in class - its a French film. Anyways, for our discussion, and little exercise we talked about stereotypes, "Homosexual" and "Heterosexual" being compared in almost all of them. We talked about the main character - who struggled through his teenage years in a family of 5 boys, and he was gay.

As soon as she said "Je ne sais pas si vous le savez - mais ce n'est pas une choix de toute" (I don't know if you guys know this, but it isn't a choice at all) I became proud. She talked about how people are still scared to come out, and whipped out a few nice statistics about it. It was a nice touchy topic, and she said somethings which i'd have liked to say. "Not being a choice" one of them

Anyways, out of gratitude, I decided to write her an anonymous letter thanking her for what she has done - educating about 50 people in my graduating class about this topic which is usually avoided like the plague in most class discussions.

Thank you - I felt this was necessary
