I joined the Gay-Straight-Alliance in school. As someone who feels they generally match their assigned gender-at-birth, I had a lot to learn.<br /><br />Unfortunately, as people do, we lost touch post-high school, but I was thrilled to find out he was married and had a son with someone who loved him for everything he was. <br /><br />Ultimately, male, female, somewhere inbetween, or completely outside the box altogether - we're still all people, still human. I work with a wide variety of people in my job, and I'm grateful for the exposure to lives that are different than mine.Megan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169811757787686946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-74623703745465128792018-11-21T16:37:22.330-05:002018-11-21T16:37:22.330-05:00So very true.

I wish more people would be tolerant and accepting of others.

I recently had a conversation with my youngest and we were talking about how great it is to say we know people from every walk of life and that we love them all equally. He said, we choose our people because they have good hearts and not for any other reason. Thank you for making us aware of this day!
