My role models were Brent Hartinger, author of Geography Club and my counselor at GLTBQQ group therapy. Brent, because he is smart, encouraging, and came to speak to the teen writer's group I was in as a kid. He also facilitated Oasis in the 90s, which is a free, safe group for GLTBQQ youth AND he supported the new GSA in his old school Bellarmine (a Catholic school in my area)-- he is an alum but would attend meetings. My counselor, who I can't name because I don't know if she is out now, is an amazing queer woman who encouraged us to love ourselves and be true to ourselves. She gave us books, literature, told us empowering stuff, took us to events and took us camping and hiking. That was the one time I felt confident in the outdoors because it wasn't about competition-- everyone put up their own tents, helped cook all the meals, hiked at their own pace... it was sooo awesome! Woo! Right now, I'm super into Jane Lynch as a role model. She's smart, funny, silly, and good looking to boot. I loved reading about her and her wife! [/QB][/QUOTE]
