The following comments come from students and their teachers we have spoken to over the past few years.

"At first I didn’t think that the speakers were gay. It shows that gay people
don’t all look alike."
"The speakers were good at addressing us kids. They had unique stories and demonstrated how difficult homosexuality is for a lot of people to accept. I never would have expected him to be gay if for some reason I saw him on the street, he didn’t fit the stereotype, which shows me that you really can’t judge anyone on his appearance."
"Though I am kind of a homophobe, I can now see how gay people are. I now see how much they suffer
when they hide their sexual status. The two Stonewall speakers seemed like really cool gay people."
"I used to be homophobic but now I realize that they are normal people like us. They didn’t choose to be like that." |

"I know some gay people, and many people aren’t that accepting. However,
if there are speakers like Stonewall, people will understand.'
"I learned that they aren’t that different from other people.' "I thought that the speakers were very good. If kids are having the same problems, they might know how to handle it better now.' "The speakers changed the way I have thought about homosexuals. I never realized what gay people go through in their lives."
"Please let all the Stonewall Speakers know what a fabulous job. They informed us; inspired us; made us think; made us feel; made us understand. We are deeply indebted to them for this rich educational experience. We left changed for the better as people." "I learned that they
aren’t that different from other people."
"The speakers were very informative and I respect them when they openly spoke of their sexual orientation and how painful it is." "I thought the Stonewall Speakers were an eye-opener for me, because it let me know how hard it is to come out of the closet and the kind of discrimination that can happen." |
