'We seem inherently capable at thinking compassionately, acting courageously, working creatively and living in community. But those qualities, those essential qualities can really only emerge in an affirmative, safe and encouraging environment' Carver said

While Carver said he grew up in a supportive and accepting family, he said school presented unspoken issues.

"There was just this abiding sense that school wasn't safe or more than anything, if I let my guard down and if I fully relaxed into a state of belonging that something swift and terrible would come and find me," he said."And I recognize now that that thing I was so afraid of, the thing I was sort of running from and trying to manage, was my own shame."

He went on to say,"LGBTQ kids really suffer from the shaming they interject on the internet, often at school and sadly sometimes at home and it affects them for the rest of their lives. But I believe LGBTQ people are resilient and in some ways particularly special. I think we seem inherently capable at thinking compassionately, acting courageously, working creatively and living in community.

Relevance? To ANYTHING?

NBC- Amazing how you look like third grade snitches with these HIT PIECES on President Trump and his administration. Americans are not stupid and see how you and the rest of the media hate trump and will do anything to make him falsely look bad! MAGA2020

anyone caring? Anyone? ANYONE?

You can say anything bad about Trump he's not going to sue you, go do it in China by criticizing the Chinese president. China is not a state but rather the kingdom of Xi Jinping. Trump will be re-elected you will be re-elected you already have him

What a milk toast

Everyone feels unsafe at school. Especially because of school shootings and bullies.
