How a sanctuary for self-expression can change lives

 I think the biggest take away from the ted-talk we watched in class today would have to be how children can feel like themselves if they are really surrounded by people, and parents that accept them for who they are. Rather than being forced to act and live like someone else, we witnessed and heard the stories of an individual as well as a mother of the LGBTQ+ community. Being surrounded by people who accept you for who you are make living life so much easier; especially in a situation where there's not many of the same around you.
