Default High School Senior "Comes Out" in Assembly

Watch as Kayla Kearney comes out to her entire school at an assembly. What remarkable courage she must have. I don’t think that I could do it.

Wow.

She not only tells a powerful story, she does so with passion and grace and eloquence.

I hope she continues to share her story.

That was so beautiful. It was a very touching story. I could never do something like that.

I was getting all teary-eyed--I feel like sending a link of this to my friend who's the VP of my school's GSA! Or one of my friends who's bicurious but keeps dating guys who are no good to her!

I saw this video. She's definitely a beautiful person on the inside as well as out, and I hope her fellow students recognize this as well as how much guts it took for her to come out in front of them.

I've seen this video before. This girl is so courageous for doing this, and it brought tears. and still brings them, to my eyes.
