LGBT Club

I no longer doubt who I am. I know that I am Bisexual, and I am not ashamed of that or afraid of it. I can't force myself to be something I'm not. Yet for years at this school I didn't feel comfortable talking about my sexuality. It has always felt as if I should hide it from everyone. As if I needed to stay in the closet. Chinquapin fonders this idea of acceptance. We love each other, because we are one big family. However, there is this feeling of hiding who you truly are when it means your gay.

We of course would never hit or hate anyone for being something they can't control. However, we don't exactly accept them whole heartedly. This is why I want to start an LGBT club on campus. This school is amazing in so many ways and I know we have to help any LGBT student feel comfortable in a place they call home. Let us unite this school in a new way, a way that will help several of our students feel more comfortable.

The plan of this club is to help students not only feel more comfortable in their environment, but also help them feel more comfortable with themselves. I understand that this club is something so new to Chinquapin that it may be hard to start. However, I have never believed that something being guilty means that it is impossible. If I have learned anything it is that I can make a difference and I want it to start here at Chinquapin.
