Laura Bush and same-sex marriage

The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has posted a story reporting that former first lady Laura Bush has indicated on Larry King Live that she supports the right to same-sex marriage, even though her husband had a very different view. Cindy McCain has also made it known that she supports same-sex marriage by posing in a picture for the No H8 campaign. The below link will take you to the full story found on HRC's website. Looks like these ladies need to educate their husbands on gay rights! Post your thoughts :)

Hi everyone, please express your feeling in response to this quote.

gender non-conformity

Gender roles and the fluidity of gender identity can manifest itself at any age. Acceptance can only come from understanding.

As you can see this little girl does not fit into the normal binary classifications of gender. She is in first grade but she is different from all the other girls. As educators, if we want to accept and foster a safe enivornment for Jazz and others like her we must talk to first graders about gender non conformity in all its forms including transgendered children.
