Children can be so kind!
A nine-year-old girl wrote a letter to her primary school teacher, Mr. R, after he came out during anti-bullying week.
He brought it up, using a conversation about people calling things “gay” as an insult, which caused his students to think of things in a different light.
The girl’s letter read:
Dear Mr R,
Even though you’re gay, I will always treat you the same way as I do now. I still think about you the same way as I used to. You’re a great teacher and these are just some of the word’s (sic) that I would describe you as: great, amazing, fantastic, brilliant, awesome and brave.
The reason why I say brave is because you shared a personal secret which was very brave.
You don’t have to feel scared because I know that everyone in the class feels the same way as I do.

PS. We are proud of you
This girl just gets it!
And whoever Mr. R is, we’re proud of him too!
