PSA time.

Right, so all week I'm sure (or at least I hope) you have heard the news about the four gay teenagers who committed suicide due to bullying. If you haven't, this pretty much sums it up.

Guys, there really is no excuse for this kind of hate to exist anymore. We know better.

If you want to help out, you can do everything from donating to the very worthwhile cause of the Trevor Project, which is a national 24-hour, toll free confidential suicide hotline for gay and questioning youth, to doing something as simple as watching what you say and calling people out when they say dumb things. Language matters, and even the best people can say extremely hurtful things without thinking about it.

In conclusion: Burt Hummel, why aren't there more people like you in the world?

Don't Ask Don't Tell. N has a pretty impressive riff on that, and how he hates it and the ideology of everyone who supports it. Makes me proud:)

Oh, my students mock me, but whatever. I keep freaking out, and they don't say it in front of me half as much as they used to!

Oh wow I totally should have known that acronym seeing how much it's been in the news. Have I mentioned today btw how much I love your kids? They are awesome.

Hey whatever gets the job done, right? Change takes time, I guess, but that's no excuse to stop fighting the good fight.
