<p>I completely understand where that comment came from; it’s a strange combination in most people’s eyes and I often do get the “what do you mean you’re in the Young Republicans Club AND the president of the Gay-Straight Alliance?!” reaction. </p>
<p>I understand that, and I’m hoping the tide of bigotry does turn, though I’ve seen increasing factionalism all around me. Ultimately I have to be the one to do what I think is right and be involved in the changes I believe are necessary. </p>
<p>Thank you. =)</p>
